Ok I just finished my first CivIII game and I am a long time CivII and Civ player.
I like to go for Research and Wonders early and have technological superiority by the end of the game, then I go to war or make a spaceship in the last several decades. Nuking the other Civs that gave me trouble during the game is a favorite of mine.
Now I don't expect CivIII to play like II, one thing I noticed that research goes slower and units are much more mixed between ages and of course from reading here and playing I saw bowman take down rifles or infantry. I'll live with that.
I lost my first game played on Chieftain it ended on time and I lost on score, 3 races, Americans (me), Romans and Iroquois, The Iroquois won 390 to 360 (me) 330 (Rome), that's close enough.
I had EVERY Wonder to Space except the Great Library and researched up to Space Research (Seti). He was fighting with spearman , bows, cavs muskets and a few wooden ships at the end. I had Mech Inf, Tanks, Bombers, Battleships, Arty and Fighters at the end. I had several 28+ cities and a 30 city, his biggest was 12, he didn't even have Sanitation yet. He had a more color on the map till the end but they were all trash cities. I had 4 luxury resources and all strategic up to Aluminum. I took out half his cities at the end in a massive blitz with tanks, bombers and mechs, including several armies of tanks and mechs.
So basically I played the game like a civilized country would do, had very superior tech, had a massive, impressive army and cooked his butt in the end but because I play slow and deliberate and didn't own large areas and had a small military in the early game the averaging of the score went against me.
Well, that's my say, I guess the slow deliberate game is no more.
