• Easy wins

The easiest way to win with a certain country or person is to go into "Scenarios" and choose "Lightning Round". Set the difficulty to "Chieftain" and select the person you need to win it with. Then, just concentrate on upgrading Tech. You only need 24 Tech so it will be fast. Choose the Techs that take the least amount of time to research. Try to avoid wars with the other nations, but do not give Tech to someone if it will give them the lead. By doing this, it should not take very long to win.

• More cities

When you start the game you may need more cities. To do this you will need Mongolians. When you begin with the Mongolians you will notice their ability in which barbarian villages join you once you have defeated their village.

• Smart Thinking

If your tring to win any victorys besides domonation victory just come in contact with one or two civilization(s) because when you are close to wining thay all attack you. | [Sent by David]
