General multiplayer tips [ ]

Never trust anyone: Don't expect any pity, especially from strangers. Warmongers are prevalent online, and are style smarter than AI opponents. A cunning player may, for example, propose that yous requite them all the Gold in your treasury in substitution for virtually of their strategic and luxury resource, only to declare war on you the following plough. This ends the deal and leaves you lot unable to purchase units, while giving your opponent lots of Aureate to spend. You should also make certain you take a big plenty military to defend yourself on all fronts - if you utilise your entire ground forces and navy to set on your neighbor, another opponent might launch an assault on you lot while your territory is undefended. It's as well appropriate to enquire for friendship with players of whom you're suspicious, which will prevent them from declaring or joining wars against yous.
Picket your treasury: Gold can exist used to purchase units or levy them from urban center-states, which will give y'all a much stronger defense and more options in wartime. Always keep some on hand for emergencies.
Improve your cities' yields: You'll demand Food to grow your Population, piece of work more than hexes, and build more Districts in your cities. Y'all'll need Production to apace construct buildings and wonders and railroad train units. Yous never desire to have the lowest Science output; your development volition be slowed, yous'll exist easy prey for warmongers, and fifty-fifty if you survive, you'll eventually lose diplomatic influence (since other players volition accept less problem completing quests for metropolis-states and you won't take a stiff plenty military to protect your interests). Which one(s) you focus nearly on improving will, of course, depend on your civilization, leader, and overall strategy.
Don't overextend yourself: Expanding to a continent another player controls volition nearly likely cause him or her to become to war with you lot and take your cities, and it volition exist virtually impossible to transport your army in that location quickly plenty to protect them. The 1 possible exception to this dominion is an island city, which generally doesn't anger opponents every bit much and will provide yous with a good base for aircraft, building or repairing ships, and staging invasions late in the game (especially if it has an Airdrome with an Drome to let airlifting). The Loyalty mechanics in the expansions make this doubly important, since cities close to an opponent's territory will lose Loyalty and eventually flip.
Team up if you can: When anybody can declare state of war on you, launch nuclear weapons at your cities, or conspire against you, having allies is more than valuable than ever. Information technology means no declarations of war, no spying, and maybe even Alliance bonuses for 30 turns. Be wary, though - the closer you lot get to victory, the harder it will be to notice players willing to ally with yous.
Deadening your opponents down every bit much as possible: Call back what your opponents' strengths are, and practice your best to deny them what they demand. Are you lot neighbors with Scythia or Mongolia? Don't merchandise them any Horses. Is another role player missing a strategic resource you take? Continue it, unless that player offers to merchandise yous another resource you lot need or something similarly generous. Is another actor closing in on a Science Victory? Have Spies perform Disrupt Rocketry missions, nuke his or her Spaceports, or go to state of war and pillage them. Whenever possible, declare state of war on a player who's becoming as well powerful or getting shut to winning by any means - even if yous can't wipe him or her out, you'll cease that player from trading with you and maybe strength him or her to waste matter valuable time and resources fighting yous off.
