Ok Ive posted quite a few times on different threads ever since I got to Prince level and had my a$$ handed to me about 20 times....my latest game, ive finally run with the pack. The absolute key is keeping up with AI's tech. My strategy? a Library in EVERY city, with at LEAST one scientist. Light bulb one tech, 2 MAX. otherwise, create academies.
Also, when starting game....try to found your city near a source of stone, beeline masonry, build quarry, then pyramids. In my opinion, its vital. Switch to representation immediately thereafter. I spent the whole game using vassalage/theocracy (free religion is better though for tech research). That way all units have mucho experience right out of the gate.
Two questions: What other wonders are vital to build? And when in war, what should be my logic in terms of keeping versus razing cities? My latest game, im at war with monty, and I justc ant afford to keep the cities I take, and hes razing mine.
