well, I am currently playing my first SP game since Civ3 first came out (ok, I played SP Civ3 off and on for a few months)
I am the vikings (playing on monarch)
I started out doing poorly, than took out spain so am now first in a number of things (like population)
I am about to take out england
the curragh's were very nice giving me (Tech) trading partners that no one else had (wouldn't be the same with human players)
there is no iron on my continent, so archers and catupults have been dominant (I just learned gunpowder btw)
I am assuming the berserks will be dominant next
I like the fact that there is now the bombards between catulpults and cannon, but it makes offense for me easier
somehow, even with two techs learned at the slowest rate, I am still ahead in tech (but I wasn't for a while)
I ahven't built any of the new world wonders, so I don't know much of how those work
madrid had 2 world wonders, and now makes a huge ammount of trade for me (more than 5 cities in my core combined), I don't know if this is new or not, but with some of the wonders I think I would rather have trade in many cases (like it makes more than 5 of my other cities even with losing 15 to corruption (and it has a courthouse))
I am looking forward to trying out the new modern era, but am hesitant to proced further becaues of the corruption bug (I would normally ahve built a FP much earlier than now, and actually it would still be a good thing to bild it in madrid (no matter what), but I woudl sort liek to wait until that is fixed)
I bought the game to play multiplayer (The way I prefer to play games), but have not tried tha aspect out yet (As my freinds have been busy with other things recently (girlfriend and Fifa2004))
