One of my favorite 4X game strategies is to annihilate my competition early in the game. How early? I'm talking attacking them before they have a chance to grow past one city/planet.
This type of strategy works exceptionally well with Civ3's small and tiny maps (the only maps I play) as well as the exploratory methods I employ. Since I never play expansionist civs, I use warriors to explore. This gives me a scout with a punch, and I use my warriors to quickly eliminate other civs.
The only problem I have with this strategy is that the AI cheats by restarting. If you kill them, they automatically get a free city somewhere in the fog of war. What's worse, is that by the time I find their city, they've already discovered bronze working and have built a spearman.
While I realize that the minimum research time will be extended in the patch (from 32 to 40), the extra 8 turns still won't allow me to find, reach, and slaughter the last remnant of my enemy.
Does anyone have a strategy that allows me to improve upon my own?
