or not challenge, I don't know if it was my other cities or not, but this was the easiest game I have ever played (of Civ3)
first I played tiny world, archepegio, 3 opponents
the only resource I started next to was silk, and that is actually the only problem I had through that game (I never even made railroads, couldn't get the coal, although I was having the computer players gain up on one computer player so I could get his coal)
I took off the militaristic victory conditions
I meant to take off cultural, but I forgot (This is how I won btw, I meant to win by space race)
another rule I had it was that no land troop of mine could leave my culture zone
I played with the babylonians
and it was really easy
I ended the game about 1 age above the computer players, and they were only were they were because I gave them techs so that I could trade for some of their resources they were sitting on (and to get them to go to war with this one computer player so that his coal would be freed up)
the 4 science great leaders helped
and this was not playing my best at all, several times I allowed myself to be at 100% tech when I only had 1 turn left before I learned something
and also, I sort of botched the one time I had to fight, and had 5 spots of mine unproductive for many years because they kept being raided by my oponent (I should have had a couple more units, it is not like the cost was too much)
but I mean, they had calvary and I had TOW infantry (and the best tanks if I would have had the resources)
TOW infantry make it a lot easier to play with low resouces BTW, so that was a nice change
this is like the first time I have gotten into the modern age since the first year Civ3 was out
if I had done the space race like I planed there might have been some issues, there were no aluminum in my radius so I would have to figure out a way to get it from one of my oponents (not sure if it would be possible, I could only find 2 sources on the map (but I didnt' look everywhere))

Also, try it on a map where the comp's are all around you on a continent and its a whole lot harder.
