Your early moves are most crucial...you make a mistake building a fighter
right off.  I think you should build an army and hope it finds another city
immediately (or you will lose).  The next most important thing is to
build a transport soon.  You need to start building one by the 3rd or 4th city
you get...definitely by the 5th city.  At first, this will feel like you are
stretching your resources too far, but it is definitely the winning tactic.
You need to expand much faster than the computer.  A good judge of how you
are doing is your city/turn ratio.  If you have 1 city for every 3 turns, you
will win.  If you yave 1 city for every 4 turns, you are doing ok and will
probably win...anything else is difficult to say.

Well, i've given away the secret to the game...hope it helps...
