You want to build a wonder? With 5 2-pop cities, each collecting from a mined hill, you can get 25 or so shields worth of caravans per turn. An enemy attacks? You can get an entire army on short notice to protect your capital. 3) It's convenient to have cities around your capital. 2) Under despotism, corruption increases rapidly with distance from the capital, so further cities will give you less science or gold. 1) If a city could produce 5 resources per turn, each turn spent walking has an opportunity cost of 5 resources, 6 if a city has to pay food for the settler's upkeep. This looks ugly as sin, and there'll be some contention for resources, but it's worth it. In the early game, build your cities close to each other, viz 2-3 tiles apart. Also bear in mind that your third city could take that wheat anyway, and with the despotism capital city production bonus, your capital will actually produce 3 shields so even delaying by 2 turns isn't worth it. If your initial cities both produce 2 food, 2 shields, and 1 science, that's 10 resources per turn so delaying this by more than 2 turns to put the capital on wheat rather than bare plains isn't worth it. As a rule of thumb, your civilisation should grow by about 5% per turn, unless you have to devote serious resources to defence so any sort of investment should pay a 5% or better RoI. Irrigated roaded plains are a good standby if you can't get suitable special tiles.ĭon't take more than a turn or two to found your first city. Anything less is bad, and you should prioritise other sites first. As a hard rule, every city should get at least 2 surplus food and 2 shields, possibly after some terrain improvements and every tile gathered from should get at least 3 resources. Anything better (such as pheasants) is welcome. In general, you want your early cities to be built ASAP on tiles such that they produce at least 4 food (2 surplus), 2 shields, and 1 trade, for a total of 5 surplus resources this usually means something like built on a plains with a whale within its environs. Set the current research to pottery and the target to map making. I assume the reader understands game mechanics, and I do not assume this will be used against humans: certain ideas are exploitative of AI weaknesses but could be in turn exploited by a clever human.
