Build More Cities, Faster

[sprucemoose3311]

I have found that the best way to begin a game is to start with the following build order from your capital: warrior, settler, settler, settler, pyramids, great library
second city bulids: settler,settler,worker,(if your way ahead in the tech race early one: worker, oracle
third city builds: warrior, settler, warrior, settler,settler...


it is possible to protect 5 cities from barbarian attacks with 2 well placed warriors.

Only build temples or libraries if you have a city that boarders another culture, theyre a waste until you stop rushing to grab as much land as you can

theres more interesting startegies you guys can create.

You must wait city grow up to size 3 for building 2 or more settlers one after another.
Better strategy:
(wariors until city-size 2+) settler,
(wariors until city-size 2+) settler,
...
For good start diety-game you must have luxury resource in city-radius or around city. Then, temple+warrior+luxury allow grow up to 5-6

addition:
on diety-game AI-players build more quickly then you,
and all GW's they build before you, so that dont't expend production resources for nonsencical rush

How do you get your population to grow fast enough to support this strategy?
