I am at the place where things usually go bad. I just vanquished an enemy, not sure of which victory I am going for. My economy usually goes down hill from here.

I have trouble managing my cities and specializing cities.

At this point in the game I want to keep my economy running, increase research and increase militar (which I guess is what the game is all about. I tried to keep my cities close together and not to build too many cities. I am trying to get court houses in all my cities.

I guess if someone can tell me how to get my economy increasing that would help with all my other issues.

My next move would be to wipe out Ghandi, the look for the next suitable candidate.

Thanks.
