They've got at least three wonders and uranium deposits and I need them for energy source!

Actually my favorite Civ strat is as follows:

* Choose Stalin for industrialism
* Build cities on a isolated island far away from the mainland
*Collect capital by the thousands


Since it'll be ages before I ever meet another civilization much less for them to build up a huge fleet to become a threat to my civilization I can build up on research and culture/economics

With that being done I can progress 10x faster through the ages and pool up all those resources so I can be well into the industrial age while they're still messing around the middle ages.

So I go about building all these wonders and getting all this technology and the first sign of foreign intrusion by sea I pool a good chunk of my capital into blockades and build mechanized units like tanks on my main city.

When they finally do get pissed at me and try to run rampant on my civilization with musketmen and galleys I'm all ballin' on their ass with infantry and tanks while continuing to crush them culturally and economically.

Basically I call it the "One man is his own island" approach to victory <3

I spend a lot of my earlier game chop rushing Settlers, and then spamming Praetorians and Catapults before they're obsolete, killing as much of the competition as possible. It works against most players, and it works on Deity. If I'm not playing Rome, I tend to prefer cultural victories. I really love getting four great artists on a border and popping them all at the same time and instantly flipping the cities nearby. When that gets expensive I look around at who hates each other, and hand the cities to their worst enemy so I can get them to declare war on them, if they declare war on me.

Try my island approach bro, they only declare war when you piss em off and that's usually after they met you, and since you're way out of their reach for a few ages you can build freely and not waste precious resource/turns building inferior units.

Woodrow Wilson was right about Isolationist policies, when you only rely on yourself fuck the world

I was completely indifferent to this thread with 0% chance of posting a reply... untill the civilisation talk began!!

If only the great wall hadn't been made obsolete by engineering... then we would all have had to make peace with them >.<

Whenever i astound people with random segments of totally esoteric knowledge and get asked about the source... my only answer is "civilopedia". They should charge extra for it, it's that useful!
