Yep, the Single Player Democracy Game has always been so. Underway now. Will let you know how we get on. If anyone's interested, we're in #civ3dem on the Apolyton.net IRC server.

Is it possible to set up a diversion to the North, which would attract the Calvary? If you create a diversion on the 2-3 turns prior to taking Madrid, the Calvary will be too far to immediately counterattack your forces in Madrid. This would give you time to fortify.

Also it may be wise to simply destroy Madrid. I realize you would lose the Wonder, but if you cannot hold it then you must destroy. It would be a shame to take Madrid and then watch it revert back to Spain.

Thats my two cents worth.
