well, the most important things are:
You need four special resources, preferably science.
You need to keep peace at all costs with the AI.
Build all the science wonders.
Guard your city radius, post units to keep the AI from building next to you.
Trade routes...a must have
MOST IMPORTANTLY, your tech tree, do not research anything that won't help you, there is a list somewhere...
i myself have launched in 1100ad playing OneCityChallenge(7 civs,deity,large raging hoards), by far not the best, but i did it.

There are actually one city challenge maps that are premade. I would suggest going to the Strategy section and looking up one of the old OCC threads...

maybe if your OCC, otherwise that is a reciepe to get you killed.
if your playing wonders etc, build a ton of settlars and expand everywhere, send horses out to tip every single hut. If your diety then go monarchy, if your king go rep. Build roads from your core cities to outer cities. once you have trade set the inner cities to build caravans and when you have 4 of them rush them in to build HG, pyramids etc. Then just keep building caravans with the inner cities. don't build more then 8 cities on diety if you don't have HG or monarchy, just use the settlars to build roads. irrigate etc. In a game with jes smart fart and jedi last week i had 30 cities at 300 bc, and 4 or 5 wonders, including mikes. By the time 1 ad rolls around switch to my super growth strat and get size 25 cities. you will then be crusing at 1 turn a tech, or getting several hundred cash per turn. Starting positions are really irrelivent, it comes down to how well you expand and get into a government.

Your first research project sould be pottery. Then build a granery in your first city before it goes to 2. The whole 1 x 1 format is based on food producion. Then I build a granery in other citys as well because a food saved is as good as a food produced.
Utilizing this strategy, I have out grown everyone that I have played in the few boring 1 x 1 games I have played.

lol Don't listen to A-Dork. Do what Markus said. If you don't go republic you'll get your ass kicked and if you build granaries they're basically useless under republic. And don't build roads too early or you'll get your ass kicked also.

actually build a road before you build a city. i keep forgetting to do that. because if you end up using that square, you can often times end up doubling your early science. ie you only have one beaker for the first 500 years. now you can have 2.

And one more question for markusf: What is this supergrowth strategy of yours? President day or sth else?? If else i would really like to know. And furthermore if it adaptable to 2x2x games thats even better.

yes it works in 2x, and its just crazy. You can make 1000 gold a turn plus by 1500 bc on 2x. but in 1x you build a lot of settlars irrigate everything and then build caravans and rush them into your cap, or some other civ thats really big. In 1x i have gotten up to 50 trade/route, in 2x you can get over 100 trade/route which can amount to something like 500 trade/city.... which at 100% cash with stock exchanges gives you 1500 gold/city on 2x...? Anyways most games never get that far on 2x, and if someone uses that strat, everyone else is dead long before then.
