    Had a great game of Civ4 last night...I need to play on a higher difficulty though (I think I was at 4 or 5...warlord or something).

    I've found that I do much better when being diplomatic with most people...I had quite a few allies...but I'd really managed to form a powerful triumvirate with Hatshepsut (who until the last 3rd of the game was winning) and Asoka (I was playing as Tsarina Catherine II (the Great) of Russia). I got along with Julius Ceaser and Roosevelt as well and I weakened the Aztecs and had them cornered...made them give me constant tribute through a good portion of the game and finished them off late game. Also made a land grab on the Mayans...thought I was gonna kill them off but I was just taking colonies...so I made peace and demanded tribute from them for a while before making nice with them. The French became cold to my growing empire (I had started taking over the new world to the east) and closed their borders (thus putting a big fat barrier between my two eastern colonial empires). I bided my time (taking this barbarian village and that) until I decided to make war. I got Julius Ceaser, Hatshepsut, and Asoka to make war with Tokagawa (thus keeping them busy so the coming war with the French wouldn't lower my Civ score more than their scores)...Tokagawa was an ally of the French and he'd been a general ass to me...so I was gonna kill two birds with one stone. I then got Roosevelt to go to war with the French (he was weaker than them...but I needed to distract them a bit). The French had a decent border with my mainland, so I had built up my defenses before going to war...I then took the city that was bothering my eastern colonies so my, first hitting it with a stealth bomber and then taking it with tanks and marines! After that it just got easier!

    I love this game...its devouring my time in the same way that the first did (I never played Civ2 or 3...just the first one...a lot).
