Hi everybody...
I learned some from this last game. I think I could have done better if I focused more on military units early. I built way too much unnecessary stuff. For instance, in Dorksbach I had Pyramid, HG, Colossus, GL, GL, Oracle, Great Wall, Sun Tzu, Leo's. I also had all the building except the courthouse. If instead I'd built more swordsmen and later medieval infantry and sent them over to the other continent earlier I probably would have been more sucessful.
Of course I didn't have the idea of moving my capitol until after Korea and India were destroyed. I know for a fact that it would have been nearly impossible to take out the Celts and England if I hadn't moved. The transit time would have killed me. Also haiving to depend on trade for my horses and saltpeter would have not been good.
Oh well. In the end I was known as Bismark the worthless. But I don't feel worthless. I learned and had fun what more can you ask for from Civ3? One thing I found kind of amusing. In the end my F11 stats showed I was #1 in life expectancy. 20 years old. Yep, I'd be dead already in my Germany. Kind of sad.

Very original take on OCC BigD! I was kind of hoping the last civ would put up a good fight against you, but I was always rooting for you to prevail.
I would imagine the Armies thing is kind of annoying. It would be kind of cool if you could trade Great Leaders to other civs for huge amounts ("I'll trade you my Napoleon for Industrialization...").
Care to try once more BigD, peacefully this time? OCC is supposed to help with your trading/builder skills, not your warmonger ones!

You need a minimum number of cities per Army.

I chose Babylon... it felt obvious to me. I settled one square east of the wheat, and my first worker job was to irrigate the starting square. I built a temple first, and then warriors to explore.
I was amazmed at the speed with which my city grew, and how productive it quickly became. Off the top of my head, I built wonder after wonder, improvment after improvment, and warriors and bowmen in one turn each.
After discovering the wealth of luxury in the homeland, I knew that colonies and trade were the way to go. I built dozens of units, with the goal being to surround the land, to prevent settlers landing by ship.
I fought two big wars, one allied with India against Korea, and another against Korea. I used these wars to raze all of the cities on MY continent, and began the process of filling in all of the coast with units...
I managed to stay even or ahead in tech, and got almost every wonder I set my sights on. In the middle of the Middle Ages AI cities started catching up in production, and managed to steal Shakespeare's from me. GRRRR. The only time I've EVER tried to build it.
I lost in the early industrial agefor a stupid reason... in my rush to block of my contient I left Babylon without a garrison... I was in democracy and all 12 of my people were incredibly happy... I had trade with almost everyone, and.... Rome dropped a spear on my shore and walked right into Babylon. No delcaration of war, no warning... I had trade deals with them even....
I plan to play again... I'll probably pick Babs again and the same starting square... the mix between fresh water, ocean, lots of productive tiles, and COAL and IRON is unbeatable.
By the way... my iron source within the city radius depleted six turns before I discovered coal in the radius. This was infuriating...
OCC was never something I'd have otherwise tried, but I enjoyed myself and feel I learned about city managment and diplomacy. Good game, guys!
EDIT: I called Rome Spain for some reason. That's what I get for waiting a week and doing an AAR from memory.

What an interesting game! I'm amazed there's so much unsettled land on the other continent in 1570 AD. Can't wait to see your reports on how this one turns out. Gotta be careful, though or England, Rome and the Celts will begin colonizing the continent you are leaving.
So I rushed Sisten, Smith's and the Military Academy(I was hoping to be able to build armies). Also I've rushed 2 cavalry units. I know, kind of a waste but I really don't need many of the city improvements and I'm losing units quick.
