My 1st attempt

Since I started reading Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel, I considered my many options for strategizing my Civ game. Considering that I primarily needed food production to develop a functional Egyptian city, my initial focus was to hunt, domesticate animals, and then slowly expand the border. For this reason, most of my attempts have utilized economic benefits. However, as food production grew, so did bordering neighbors who try to start wars. Therefore, I quickly learned that a military was also equally essential as the game progressed and my borders expanded.
Overall, I tried to find a balance between building protection as well as increasing my resources. As a result, I found a lot of success with staying peaceful with my neighbors and finally developing science. Thus far, I have not encountered any setbacks or negative relations within the game. Yet, I believe that this is in part to avoiding religion. As the game continues, I know that I will eventually need to establish religion; but my goal for now is to continue expanding into new territories and improving my society.
