I've owned civ4 for about a week now, and decided to play on noble difficulty because i would compete on equal turns with the AI. So far i've tried the settler first strat in most of my games, but i've also been experimenting with some other stuff:
Like starting with an industrious civ cranking out a settler, two warriors and going for masonry as my first tech. Then my cap would start building pyramids and the second city would build a worker or two. Of course if my capital wouldn't be good at building, i've also tried using city number two as my wonder city. It has worked quite a few times, and gave me access to all goverment types for the remainder of the game.
another thing i've tried, also with industrious civs, is to go straight for the metal casting tech, and get some great engineers through the forge. It helped me bag some important wonders.
Any comments??
