Why is this in history? haha



I hated Civ IV, Civ III was better and made more sense to me. I know in Civ 3 I would neglect my military at the beginning and try to keep peace while I would expand really quickly. Build cities a good distance away if it stops other countries from expanding into an area you want.



Build a lot of workers to build up a huge infrastructure because the highest productivity is more important than the most land area.
