It seems ages ago that I played the original Civ. Each one has gotten progressively harder (maybe because I'm getting older), but this one seems really difficult.
For my first game, I decided to play on Noble. My starting position was pretty good, a gold mine and iron it turns out next to London, along with some clams. I read about the CS slingshot and decided to go that route: it worked!
However, I'm now sitting at 50BC and haven't a clue whether I'm in good shape or where to go from here. I have made a lot of mistakes: misclicked a worker and lost it to a barbarian, didn't build more scouts after losing one, used a work boat to develop clams that were outside my useable area, etc. But I appear to be ahead in technology as everyone has asked for Code of Laws.
Problem: I just don't know where to go from here and how to use the Great People London is producing. Do I peacefully expand (not much room) or fight a war against the Americans?
I took a Barbarian city, but I'm not sure that was a great idea as it is close to another I built.
My research has a few holes in it. What is the best research path from here? I'm researching Metal Casting with the notion of having forges.
Generally, I'm not a warmonger, but I don't mind steamrolling my neighbors if they're hemming me in.
Any help at all much appreciated.
