	Civilization 3 is my new best friend! Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

I have never ever played a game as much fun as Civilization 3 before. I have never in my life had so much fun getting the crap beat out of me! I only played the tutorial but I haven't read much of the manual yet and I never played any of the previous civ's

Story of my pathetic and hilarious demise:

I started out with one city and expanded slowly until I had about 4 citys and 1/3 of the continent. All of a sudden I had my culture go up and soon after the Roman's had citys handing themselves over to me! I had been peaceful with them before but I never though of the negative effects of taking the citys! The Roman's declared war on me and I was easily beaten back until my lines crumbled. I was on the easiest level and I couldn't win but I had to try to lose to get the computer to actually kill me because it wasn't very aggressive. The funny part is before I died my most advanced unit was the Legionare and I had barely made it out of the first era, IT WAS 1580!!!!! Anyways I hope I get better but until then I'll be satisfied exploring this game trying to learn all the ins and outs.

Tips are welcome, you could save lives so donate your suggestions!

glad youre enjoying the game,

quick tip: treat the map as a game board, expand and control as much of it as you can early on, it's better to have 5 size 2 cities than 2 size 5 cities

from the off just keep spreading

defender
wealth
settler
wealth
worker
wealth
settler
wealth
worker
worker

keep your cities small at the start, no unhappieness, then improve them later
