    As soon as you get new tech, trade to as many nations as possible ASAP, same with any tech you get traded. Keep referring to your advisors.

    Later get civ 4, it's legendary :)

    The best part is when you find out spearmen can take down tanks and helicopters

    I'm still messing around with trying different nations but so far France seems to my liking being more of a defensive type player, the industrial and commerce is nice. Once I get about 6 citys things start to get into that micro manage stage,I'm leaning towards automation for anymore citys I build . 

    Overall I'm way behind on sleep,just one more turn, one more hehe

    I think this is where Civ 4 introduced one of the greatest improvements to the series to date. The combat overhaul.

    I remember playing as Japan in Civ 3 and fighting off modern armor and infantry with a stack of samurai, the samurai had the ability to fight at full strength when injured. A little bit silly, still a great game though.

    The only problem with 4 for me was a stack with a level three healing general plus hill and forest defense stacks.  Park it anywhere on a forested hill in and the AI would break themselves on it.  There were other issues but that was game breaking.
