With the arrival of my 2000 I have been shuffling through my stacks
of mostly-unused disks and I came across DotC.  I bought it on the
basis of its glowing reviews (what, a year or so ago?) but I was
generally disappointed.  The graphics were stunning, as predicted,
but I've NEVER been able to figure out the game.  Seems to be one
of those games for which my mind is just not organized properly:
I have no clue how to pursue the game or what sorts of tactics are
good/bad.  Mostly I play it for a while, the damn cities rapidly
change to the colors of the other folk and I quietly lose, with
my having no idea what I should be doing to stem the tide, much less
make any progress.

I'd appreciate some pointers about how generally you approached this
game.  Thanks!
