Spying Trick
Instead of randomly selecting a successful looking civilization and sending spies on a whim, look to the intel that is provided more readily. If you check for possible trade routes and notice that you can gain science knowledge through trade, that also means you can send a spy to that civilization and improve yourself using more devious measures. It's a great way to avoid wasting precious resources
Debug mode
Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "config.ini" file in the game directory. Change the "DebugPanel = 0" line to "DebugPanel = 1". Start a new game, and press ~ to display a debug panel on the right side. For example, select the "Reveal All" option to view the full map.
