[TimTheEnchanter]

Temple

I'd like to learn to get by without temples, but i'm not there yet. With these, a couple happy wonders and few trade routes in each city, you can have We Love to Make Babies days all over the place.

DEATH awaits you all...with nasty, big, pointy teeth.

I usually bypass Temples by directing my research toward the shortest path to Monotheism -- what I call the Philosopher King's Opening. Then, with the Gardens and trade routes plus the Colussus, I can usually achieve WLTK growth up to size 8 cities without any other improvements.

Colloseum
City Walls

Colloseum to maintain happiness in the city. City Walls to keep it safe. SDI Defense to Ensure safety from nukes. Aquaduct to let the city grow to a pretty good size. Factory to increase its production.

[kundor]

Temple
Library
Marketplace
University
Factory

I skip City Walls and Granaries because I go for Pyramids and the Great Wall instead, and by the time they're obsolete my cities should be big enough and my military strong enough to not need them...and of course i have to build aqueducts, but that's not one of my "favorites"

This is my first message, so I'll keep it simple. I've been spying on this site for several days and am so happy there are way too many people addicted to this game series.

Back to the subject, most important are:

Barracks
Factory
granary
marketplace
and manufacturing plant.

 

[duke o' york]

Spying for three days eh? We must have a 94% chance of capturing Cropduster before he can steal any of our precious techs! Welcome to the site though.

[woke25]

i must say this highly depends on the type of city i build. i basically have 3 kinds of cities:

The trade city
The production city
The support city

Trade city
Build on a trade special or very close to ocean, with lots of ocean squares. In this city i build:
-temple
-harbour
-library
-marketplace
-courthouse
-aquaduct

Production city
-barracks
-temple

The support city
-nothing, it stays 1 big with entertainer to support units outside cities.
