If at first you don't succeed try and then try again!

Ok... well I was successful in my first game, not so successful in my second game and this is going to be round three. I am hoping that third time is a charm :). I am going to try to not get my civilization quite so big so fast this time. I think it will be in my benifit to have fewer, stronger cities than a lot of cities that I have not a clue as to what is going on within them. I choose the continent of Europe, being the English empire under the rule of Elizabeth. I choose this area because of the beneifits of the water all the way around and the limited ability for other civilizaitons to attack me. One fear that I have is that I will be left behind technologically because England is seperated from the rest of Europe. During my second game I really didn't try (actually I was trying to prove a point and fail It worked), but during my first game which I ended up making it all the way though I really tried. It was confusing and I didn't really know what to expect so I think I won on accident haha. This time I want to win because I know I made the right decisions. I am going to focus on building up the agriculture as well as my civilization's economy and technology in the hopes of become a powerful civilizaiton yet again.
Being located seperate from the rest of Europe has helped out England in the past, in real life, so hopefully it will work the same way for me, in my game.

Congradulations of finsihing you second game. It is a huge accomplishment. Remember if you make a smaller city some neighboring areas might see you as being "weak". You also might want to make sure that they do not take all of the land around you and surround you.....that would be bad! GOOD LUCK.
