So I have played civ 5 for a bit now and found some struggles. I typically build 4-5 cites from my own settlers and play Japan on prince.
I go all out and try to get some samurai and then conquer 1 civ. I will annex until unhappiness is too high and then create puppets. By this time, I have to build happiness improvements and end up with negative cash flow. My whole score starts to slide and other cigs are still growing in numbers of cities, armies and cash.
How can I better manager happiness and cash flow to enable domination victories? As for policies, I try to get the ones which help me get city states bonuses for units and the science boost.
