I really do not want to dwell on the negatives here, but absolutely what you need to do is wipe the slate clean and back up to clean unmodified install of the game.
You then need to download and install the V1.29 patch so you will be on the same sheet of music with anyone who might start to give you advice.
Then, you need to back up and start some Warlord level games on standard maps with a stanadrd numebr of opponents and work on the most basic and fundamental game play skills. Forget tanks, forget the space ship.
Here is a screenshot of your capital Washington to show you why:
Your Palace is in Washington and you have built your forbidden palace in St. Louis. This is terrible placement (except in communism it matters little).
Look at the placement of mines and irrigation, this is the signature of automating workers almost from the start of the game and doing this costs you somewhere between 15% and 35% of the power and progress in the game. The worker is the most important unit for you to understand how to control and it is so fundamental to the game that if you hate managing your early workers it almost demands that you seek out another game experience. You cannot play well at any difficulty level without getting a better handle on this.
Look at the lack of railroads. These are supposed to be your most productive cities and rails are required on every square.
Look at the residual jungle squares right next to St. Louis where your FP is located. You founded this city in 1475bc and now it is 3000 years later and you still do not have your 2nd most powerful city contributing to your empire.
Look at your capital city of Washington, you have 4 infantry and 1 cavalry stacked in that city when it is 1000 miles away from any possible attack.
Everyone of your cities is a disaster of management and strategy just like those in the picture.
Here are the links to the CivFanatics WarAcademy and to the articels subforum where you need to read alot, play some examples, and then post here if you have some questions earlier in the play of an unmodified game.
