I normally played as the Dutch - faster start, more stable trade.

I miss the small size of games like colonisation. It meant you could play
the same scenario (I used the real map) and know that the differences were
all down to you.
Civ 3 is far superior in almost every way, but to play the same map twice
would take so long as not to be worth thinking about.

Getting the gold from the lost cities was quite good too. It was a bit
weird when you got over 1000000 gold - it just starts again from 0 I think.

Haven't re-discovered any more 'unknown' tips from the strategy guide
yet.

Whatever level you play at though, it's not hard to win, so sometimes I
don't even bother playing the revolution part through.

I wish you could buy/build the Man-o-War though (you can only get them
via the Cheat menu). I suppose you could get one that way, and reduce
your cash by, say 10k in compensation...

This may be one, though it's not so much a tip, as an undocumented
feature :
