First win

[Nor Me]

OK so in my current game as the Russians, I started with Manya's strategy and at one point had seven cities after building only one settler and that wasn't from my capital.

But that doesn't mean I'd have done that in Agamennon's game.

Agamennon--
Yer choice of Russia is interesting, but may be why it took so long to win. Comm/Ind civs have great growth potential early on (France, Carthage). Some don't like to play as comm/ind civs, but I always have a good time with them.
Conquest victories are great (altho' they make me feel all icky) Try 'em next --Rob

BTW: congrats

I just had my first win and it too was a cultural one. Of course it was at the lowest difficulty level so not all that surprising.

I found the cultural victory kind of anti-climatic. I would have liked to have seen a little something more...something...any way, now I will try at higher levels.

Woohoo, another opportunity to wear my party hat!

Domination victory kinda sux.

I managed my first win on Monarch a few weeks back. Cultural with the Egyptians. That might sound pathetic but I have had the game for over a year and haven't had the time to play it all that much. I think I've played about six complete games (starting from the basic level which was easy).

What am I supposed to do on Emperor level. I just get hopelessly behind no matter what (building the GL doesn't seem to help).

Does any one else like Marines, Paratroopers and Choppers as much as I do? I like dropping them into mountains to secure a base from which to smite cities. Plus the Marines look so cool.

Marines Paratroops Choppers

That's all i can say

[pedrojedi]

they may not be that good, but none can deny that they are cool!

There's not a single reason not to use tanks, if you have the resources, which kinda like sucks.

[Manya]

Besides by the time tanks are on, i already conquered most of the land and for sure i will have oil.

Btw, the are cool but useless

Tanks should not be able to move in the jungle

By the time I have tanks, there's no jungle left on the planet

You always want to get the last word, don't you?
If there's no land left, you don't have to use neither the marines OR tanks. Problem solved
