all you need is two or three cities with good production, then go militaristic. your cities may not grow, but they won't shrink.
yea same..played like a few full games but they take up hours.
My whole thing is a race to the nuclear bomb then start annihilating everyone. But I've only been able to get nukes once cuz usually the UN comes in and they vote out nuclear bombs so that no one can built them
