I have a question for experienced players:
How often and most importantly, WHEN do you build harbors? Because I generally find that they're among the last things I build (well, obviously it depends on the city). I was just curious if you think it's wise to start building them as soon as you get Navigation? Because usually when you get Nav it's right in that time frame when you're trying to build up knight armies and markets and libraries and...etc... Plus, 100 is a BIG fu kin g cost in the early going. You could be better off going for Magna Carta or something, in my opinion.
So again, I'll ask it in three parts: When should I build it for: (assume each has a courthouse in it already)
1. A city that has 4 sea tiles?
2. A city that has 14 sea tiles?
3. A city on a border that is probably going to be a battleground but is located next to 10 tiles. It's also a chokepoint city and you're at war with the enemy on that side of your continent.
