If you're going to insist on playing it hard, you'll need a HUGE map, so there's more space in-between you and the other Civilizations and maybe play the game on a middle (medium) setting as the Hard on Civ 3 isn't as forgiving and almost neon impossible to get a good start. It seems on hard the other Civilizations trap you quickly in to submission. This game to me seems like it's more about building a big army and scouting the map as a group. Individually, they don't really cause a threat. What I mean- in relation to the science of a good army is to move out slowly and together. If there's plenty of army, your Settler can safely build cities around the defence.
@angrodisilra You might get lucky. If you can just take a city from the French. This game is far more strategy based than previous versions. It's like every move counts, but each city needs to be more protected outside of the Barracks. The Barracks will just give you a bit more defence against your opponents, but it's basic defence, so it'll only cover about 4 attempts at a city attack. Just having units surrounding your city will make other civilizations think twice about attacking you.
Just remember that people will still watch your content and credit you for winning a game on a medium/middle setting. You dont need to prove you can beat the game at the hardest setting. If people play a game in easy settings, then yes, it annoys me. Don't make your games so difficult to compete; we will still watch and will be more interesting as you won't be beaten 10 minutes into the game.....your audience wants to see you win.
