I've been lurking here for the last month or so, picking up tips while finishing my game with the Persians. I've learned a ton from reading what everyone has been saying, so much so that I'm kicking ass in my first regent game (as the Aztecs).
I just started the middle ages about 20 turns ago and have 24 cities (on a 160 x 160 map, 11 civs). I destroyed the French with my iron (I have all but one of the resources on the continent that I share with the Americans, Iroquois, Zuls, and formerly the French. I have the Iroquois backed into a peninsula (waiting for the right time to strike), and I'm about to unleash the fury on the Zulus. I built the Pyramids, Hanging Gardens, and the Lighthouse, and I might be able to get the Great Library.
I couldn't have done any of this without spending huge amounts of hours perusing these forums. My last game was on Warlord, which I won culturally with a puny score of 2100. I started playing Civ in middle school, played Civ 2 in high school and most of college, but haven't had much time for Civ 3 until recently, and my old skills weren't working as well. I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted strategic tidbits for general consumption by the less-practiced and less-adept.
