I know many people are dissapionted that firaxis has changed the rules that make the CS Gambit impossible. Well, I came up with a strategy that, while is not as good as the CS Gambit, can give great benifets.
Basically you research Monarchy instead of Code of Law, then you use the Oracle to get Feudalism. Having Feudalism early on can give Longbows (which let you hold out to far larger forces), Vassalege (you never know when an extra promotion can help, and Serfdom (which gives you a superb economic advantage).
I am not very good at making civ4 strategy, so I will let more expirienced players take this stratagy further.
