Your mistakes assume that your nuewbie doesn't prefer to be a builder ratherr than a conqueror.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

The top noob mistake is thinking you are not a noob.
After that I'd go with poor worker useage, overdefending, and not expanding quickly enough at the beginning.Comment

I'm playing my third game of SP so Jimmy is probably right - damn newbies
But I like to have a nice balanced army.Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?Comment

#1 n00b mistake: Not reading all the Apolyton forum tips!Comment

Having a nice balanced army, or whatever floats your boat to enjoy playing the game is very important. I like balanced armies, usually no more than 1/4-1/3 horse or armor!
Much more important than playing most efficiently
(unless "playing most efficiently" is what "floats your boat").

Other newbie mistakes:
Waiting too long to change from despotism once you acquire monarchy/republic.
Not taking into account which UU an enemy has when you're planning to attack.
Waiting until the industrial/modern era to make war, "'cause that's when all the cool 'power' units become available".
When another civ demands tribute, either: always giving in; or (being stubborn and) never giving in, even when the other civ could kick your a$$. (Think of that old Kenny Rogers song, "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em...")
Not ever bothering to adjust the tax/science/luxuries sliders."Every time I have to make a tough decision, I ask myself, 'What would Tom Cruise do?' Then I jump up and down on the couch." - Neil StraussComment

I just played Freeciv with some folks and I lost, mostly because I had played too much C3C lately. I had forgotten how Civ2 rules worked...

One thing I was very guilty of when I first started playing was working every tile for a city right from the start. I'd have size 3 cities with every tile around it developed. And at the same time I didn't have enough workers to do that for every city so while I was working to fully work one city another was sitting there undeveloped. Of course everyone here sorted me out.
So I agree with the above, another newbie mistake is not coming to 'poly.
