I've been recently interested in China, and I've read they work well with the Piety tree. What does Piety give that synergies with China so well? In my current game I held off on founding a religion early and instead let the nearby civ convert my cities since I could use faith to purchase...

Is it better to wait to improve a tile until it can be worked or to improve them all quickly and wait for growth?

I'm having a real hard time winning as china on emporer. The AI seems to always expand and develop their army way faster than I can keep up. By the time I got my 3rd city I was surrounded by 3 civs and couldn't expand any more. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I've noticed in a game that I could improve tiles well beyond what I could actually work on a given city. I have some questions on workers and tile improvements. Is there a set number of tiles that a city can work? Can this be increased? What is the optimum distance to place cities apart...

I just recently started playing C5 BNW and I'm having a really hard time winning a cultural victory with Brasil. I'm playing with all standard settings. My last game I was on a continent with Egypt and Nebuchadnezzar. After turn 100 or so they just would not stop declaring war on me. I traded...
