...culture?

...population?

...happiness?

...infrastructure?

...production?

...diplomatic ability?

...ICS Strategies?

...OCC Strategies?

...Perfectionist Strategies?

...Isolationist Strategies?

culture: religious/commercial (Indians)

population: religious/industrious (Egyptians)

happiness: religious/industrious (Egyptians)

infrastructure: industrious/commercial (French)

production: industrious/scientific (Chinese)

diplomatic ability: same as culture, no?

ICS Strategies: expansionist/militaristic (Zulus)

OCC Strategies: scientific/commercial (Greeks)

Perfectionist Strategies: industrious/commercial (French)

Isolationist Strategies: commercial/scientific (Greeks)

EDIT: screwed up, wrote "religious" where I meant "scientific" (on OCC entry). Thanks for pointing it out, marquis.

I assume ICS is infinite city sleaze. What is OCC?

[Buck Birdseed]

One City Challenge. It's... not easy.

[Marquis de Sodaq]

Wouldn't scientific/commercial be best for OCC?

I remember playing like that the first time I tried Emperor in Civ1.
I was Roman on the Earth. I survived, but no more then that.

Wouldn't Expansionist/Scientific be the best for ICS? Atleast for how i play it...

[KrazyHorse]

uh-uh.

Maybe expansionist/industrious or expansionist/commercial would be better, though, since the extra production or trade gained in each city-centre square becomes more important as you have many small cities.

[Juggernaut]

Yup. But since science always is an important matter, the small cities really need a boost while there non-productive and petty. Personally, I always turn science up to highest level just w/out getting a negative income until they grow to sizes of 4-5 or swapping to Republic (depends on which level I play).

Since I always play this tactic in the beginning (it's the best, IMHO), my favourite default civ will most likely be the Russians (expansion, science).

[Urban Ranger]

Hard question.

My speculations are:

culture: scientific-industrious

population: expansionist-industrious

happiness: religious-commercial

infrastructure: industrious-commercial

production: industrious-commerical (how's this different from infrastructure?)

diplomatic ability: same as culture, I guess

ICS Strategies: industrious-commercial

OCC Strategies: expansionist-militaristic

Perfectionist Strategies: industrious-scientific

Isolationist Strategies: commercial-industrious
