Civilization Revolution. Chinese strategy on deity
How it works:
http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21381
Start with a warrior, working on 2 forests, explore and get some villages.
After this warrior, work on 2 tiles water (4 science) and 1 forest (2 hammers) and set the production on Stonehenge or great library, while you research horseback riding. After those 5 turns you will have 12 hammers and now switch to 2 forests and the other person working on nothing (you get 1 hammer), if possible in another forest.
Now start to produce horsemen, and the first one has to get the veteran upgrade. In some turns if you got some huts you can have your free settler, while you can move your horsemen veteran army to another capital to get an adtvantage. Move your settler where you can have at least 2 grasslands and 2 science tiles if possible, and at least 1 forest. Move the production to 2 hammers and 4 science in each city and get bronze working as fast as possible, and produce an army for those cities as fast as possible (switching to production) or at least in the capital. Build new cities working on 2 forests and 1 food tile (in the new city 1 forest + 1 person + 1 food tile if you haven't the forest) and move them archers. Get as fast as possible irrigation and you will have new 2 cities with 4 pop and Beijing and the other one with 3, but if you can grow as fast as possible you can reach a pop of 4-5 and literacy gives you a good bonus.
Now you should have conquered the capital or a new city. Reach as fast as possible 7 cities and build armies in all those cities while working on science. If you want get fast currency and code of laws, but you have to get as fast as possible democracy. Now you would be near or in the industrial era. Build libraries in each city and research as technologies as you can get.
Try to follow this order:
Writing free
Horseback riding
2 cities
Bronze working
Pottery
4 cities
Irrigation
7 cities if possible now (+ the capital)
Literacy free
Alphabet
Currency
Code of laws (not so needed)
Democracy
Start building libraries in all cities
Monarchy (if you are fast)
Engeneering
Invention
Steam Power
Railroads
And now if you want get metallurgy and combustion to start your rush, or do what you think you need.
If you are against some rushers, build offensive armies with your production and attack his units, and if needed build also pikemen armies
Strategy to get 1 turn more:
I was thinking about this way, and first times I didn't know how I could get the same horsemen 1 turn before.
Put 2 workers on 2 forests and 1 water tile. You will have in 10 turns 40 hammers and Horseback riding. When you change production you can rush units for 0, so, if you were producing the stonehenge you can rush 2 units in the same time 1 turn before the normal strategy, and if one attacks you, you have more hammers to rush out warriors. In this way you get the second horseman in the 12th turn instead of 13th, that's a good advantage because in the 13th turn you can have your army
I hope this helps
It's hard to do, I would like to repeat it if it could be easier. Maybe I will give it a try.. I'm not sure

I would like to do it, but, it's really difficult to record a video then put it here, but I wrote a lot of strategies on 2k games site and you can add me on mxzx3..

Well, this strategy is old, however this should still work.. It is flexible, you can also use iron working to defend your cities. The peace is because they normally stop building units, but the real reason is that i can sell them technologies to get their gold, then i get gold and they can't rush units.. don't care, they won't use your technologies, and another trick is to give them technologies to make them reaching medieval era then they spend +50% to rush units

I didn't understand you.. If you could explain that would be better. However, this strategy is better than 2 food and 1 tree that would lose almost every time against good players. First warrior in 5 turns is really bad. I am still top5 since 8 months ago (and i'm not playing so much, just i know how to win fast), and getting 6 resets is why i'm not first (i've been first for one day, than only bugs, etc..
i won't post new strategies here because it's too hard to do

Never fails? Uhm, I think you aren't top10.. And I'm pretty sure if you play against good players, my strategy is more used and more useful.

And that has helped the video, I haven't reminded that I couldn't record the year so at least in stats you can look for that. I had in this game the future tech or space flight in the year 1500.
Where are you from? I'm italian, eheh
