damn it!!! what am i doing wrong!

[The Andy-Man]

i like waiting till later for wars. I dunno, its just so much fun to bomb raid a city then paratroop into it followed by vet mech infantry.

And how often does the AI build alpine troops? i have only seen about 1 in a capitol wchich was then defended by 2 riflemen and a phalanx.

1-im incredably good at keeping up in tech until the ai starts trading en-masse and i run out of city room! help! im not slow, i just cant keep up with: "france give zulus writing, zulus give french gunpowder, french give englis gunpowder...." the entire planet catches up to me in 3 turns!!

That's a part of AI's incompleteness. Sometimes more than anoying.
As far as I can see, you haven't done anything wrong.
Of course you could have fought an early war against one or two
of your enemies, but it's up to you.

2-i cant get any good early wonders, id rather develop my citys than build them.

At least the Pyramids and the Great Wall could boost your nation.

3-the AI tends to do the "allie up against me and refuse to do anything with me real early on! like 1300's!

I can't help you with that, because it happens to me quite often and
I haven't got any damn sure solution. Alliances could perhaps work.

4-i always say "im gona build citys right up till the end" but i usually get sidetracked and dont. does that matter?

I dunno, depends on the strategy. If you try to conquer,
then you need a least some good cities and hard cash.

5-i tend to be awkwardly rich early on but then my riches go down the tube its annoying!

Change the form of government and use those so darn
publicans. "It's a question of optimising."

7-this is more of a personal problem but in my last few games ive learned to hate the english as they get all the wonders i want! last game they got both leo AND gl. what the hell! also the zulus retarded agression tends to get on my nerves as well!

Your civ seems to be after in science. Have you considered
to steal techs from your enemies?

[The Andy-Man]

with leos there is a sure way (atleast on king.)

make a feline for republic, then invention TAKE NOTHING ELSE (except maybe trade and pottery).

a few techs before you get invention start building any wonder in your highest productive city. then as soon as you get leos, switch to it.
