The combination I had in mind is the following indeed Romans with Mapmaking and the Wheel.
You need to be a Europe-civilization, and I always played the Romans. Starting off in Italy, you have the opportunity to destroy the French, Greek, German (depends on who's there) civilization with just your settlers as war machines. The AI opponent will just build a city right away while you move around with your settlers to conquer before any militia is actually built.
Following this, you start building your own cities. Produce chariots as fast as possible (and a lot too!) so you can hop around to Africa nad Asia and crush their civilizations. Chariots are ABSOLUTELY necessary because of their two moves in one turn. Militia will just take too much time in conquering.
Then you definitely need Mapmaking, and travel to America (taking the Iceland-Greenland route to prevent your triremes from sinking) and destroy the civilizations over there.
Eventually, if you've played the "Earth" mode enough, you'll notice where the computer will place the new opponents. If you've had the Greek before the English, for instance, then the English will settle in South America after you eviscerate the Greek. Getting the Egyptians instead of the Aztec will make the Aztec originate in Indonesia. The Zulu's will start off in Australia (IIRC) when you've encountered the Babylonians first.
Yes, I've played this game a lot back in my 386 days. Great job nonetheless, and I'm sorry for Target that dplax eventually guessed the answer correctly. Better luck next time!
