The Settler/Defender "Factory"
Visit/Download NOW
In my current game, I've been using renegotiation of peace treaties to get the AI to give me useless size 1 or 2 cities. Having gotten to a point where the AI fears me, I can usually get all the size 1 or 2 cities with no growth potential (no tiles with 2+ food sources) for renegotiation.

Super Expansion Strategy: How to Build 100+ cities By 10AD

I wrote up all this for a thread on civfan... thought some people here might like to see it too. It outlines my basic super-fast expansion strategy, and might help some of you achieve the same kind of results some of the massive-expansion-with-ICS people achieve.

Why you do NOT want to mine shielded grasslands!
by DeepO

About all the guides, strats, and comments I've read on this site talked about mining the shielded grasslands(SG) asap, to have the best improvement possible. Further, a lot of worker AI whining came down to that fact that the AI will not focus on mining SG, but go for a checkerboard pattern of mines and irrigations in grassland.

Psychotic Wonder Building
Visit/Download NOW
I've been playing a lot of builder games lately, mostly focusing on building as many wonders as possible on Monarch and Emperor. I've had pretty good success with turning off civ specific traits, building every wonder (with the help of 1 early leader for the pyramids, Monarch) in my first try (beginners luck!) even.
