This is a great discussion and I hope it continues especially for warlord noobs.

The one thing I've had difficulty getting a handle on is the GPs. In C3C it's all about growth but in civ4 it's determining when it's time to turn on the GP farm. Farming and "bread loaves" seem to be the key to this type of specialized city but I can't get a grasp of when to turn them on.

A few things I've learned in MP is using combined arms, cats and proper promotions. Don't discount the underdog early game units, spears and pikes. They are extremely powerful against mounted units.
