Basically I'm playing Beyond the Sword vs the computer. I'm playing warlord and I seem to come in last every game
--
My basic strategy has been to try to out position the computer to grab land (but it always fails). I'm not even sure which type of victory i should go for - at first cultural victory seems like the thing but the rules sez "max out 3 cities" but doesnt' define what 'max' is
Then I try for military; but my armies are always too weak and the computer squash me.
Then I decided ok I'll just build a space ship; but then i ran out of time.
--
I usually start with one city and 1 worker; around turn 20 or 30 i build a second city; then around 40 or 50 I build a third. I try for 1 worker per city and make sure they are all connected. Other than that I either build cultural items (to get more land) or happy stuff or clean the air stuff depending on if my city is sad or dirty.
I try for one city on the coast so I can build a navy later on if i need to (at settler level navies were great; but at warlord I don't seem to ever need anything beyond a fishing boat).
Anyways by now my score is like 300 and the computer is up to 900 and from here on out it is all down hill
