Hey All,
Im just after starting to play Civilization (never played any version of it before).
So Russia was my choice of Civilization to start with. Im about 250 turns, and im sure ive made plenty of errors already.
Early in the game i was friendly with everyone around me , Egypt, Persia, Arabia.. even gave Egypt 30 gold for no other reason than they asked for it.
About 150 turns in i decided to take Rio de Janiero, a small little town, with no allies, kinda close to France. I took it and all was good until around turn 200..
France declare war because im too close to them. Then i naturally retaliate, and Egypt & Peria (who are not allies with France) denounce me and go to war with me, because im picking on smaller nations.
Anyway to avoid everyone going to war with me and denouncing me?
I feel maybe i was greedy going after RIO, but as it had no allies i couldnt really see the problem.
Should i settle alot of cities early so that i have more land? I was pretty weak at the beginning with Settling and my policies are prob badly chosen too, as i was pretty much without a strategy coming into this game
Thanks for any help or feedback :-)
