Do you know about these bonuses that give you a free unit or building for example?

Currency, free market in a city plus caravan
Mathematics, free catapult in a city
Construction, free workshop in a city, etc..

These bonuses aren't random, but you can know where these will appear and you can change the target:

Normally, it gives you the bonus on the biggest city, the first on population of your cities. Getting a free unit, it appears in the biggest city, and if you have barracks in a city with only 2 pop (while the biggest is 10), it will appear in the city with barracks. By knowing this you would know where should appear a free unit.

About the buldings, let's say you are going for currency. It appears in the biggest city, but, the bonus is market, so using this trick you will make it appear in this city: switch from science production to gold production a city where you want the market, pass the turn, and you have your market.

For the workshop the same, you should change the production into hills, if you have 2 hills in a city and 1 in another, and you work on this one, this should appear in this last one, but it could depend also on the population.

And so on. So, you can know where the free thing will appear and you can change the target, you need only to know what is the thing, and changing that thing you will have it. Trading post for example, change the science production to deserts.

I hope you have understood this, ask me if you have problems
