Hm, yes, it is only 5 cities, but this means that:
- I can keep tech at 90-100%
- these are very nice cities with optimum food/shield rate
- I have 3 workers working night and day
to get all those stuff:
irons, stone, game, corn, pig, wine (Venice!)...
- I built Stonehenge and Pyramids - I set to Feud. Monarchy
so that Vienna be a powerhouse!
- I build a lot of buildings AND military both!
I think I build fast with having the most population...
In fact now I have my 6th city on those Plains to have the horses...
Yes, I think Noble is way easier, a big step backwards...
Now that I have Venice, it is a BIG difference,
Italy is now next to last in score.
Interesting fact is that Victoria made an ancient D-day
and has a city at "Calais"... this sets Bonaparte as last in score...
