How does one determine if it's safe to move onto a new level and not get crushed by the competition? I'm a newbie to the Civ world (not quite newbie, I did own the original and Civ 2, but didn't play very often).
Would I have to completely annihlate my opponents before moving up? I'm starting out at the easiest level, standard size map with 2 other civ's. I did win, but barely by the skin of my teeth. I was able to just stay ahead of them in terms of scientific research which probably was what kept me on top. To win this particular game, I needed to dominate more than 66% of the map. At the end of the game, I dominated only 40% and the other civ was 60%, but my score was 451 and theirs was 439. That's probably why I was the victor here.
I guess if I just moved up a level to see how far I get, that wouldn't hurt, but I don't want to get frustrated if I can't succeed at higher levels.
Thanks,
