I thought about it as a production city, but I already have a VERY strong production city elsewhere with a lot of plains hills and the food to sustain them, but good call :) As for the fish, I'm not sure if I should. I also already have 2 coastal cities established (capital and first...

As you can see from the in-game label, I plan to cottage this city out. Here's the dilemma: Either way I'm getting the resource bonus of both the sheep and the gold, but I can't decide which I want in my fat cross. If I choose the gold, then I basically have a free Town+ already established, but...

I'm not saying they didn't die, but it might as well have been Axeman vs Archer. I lost all but one of them. Nothing like a normal praet rush where you can expect to lose a couple, if any.

Well then I suppose my problem is I'm rushing TOO early :\ I generally don't have Construction yet at that time Thanks for the help, I'll adjust my tech tree accordingly next game to try to get that earlier.

If you don't extend your empire far and aren't very combative, you don't have very high upkeep.

I've been lurking here occasionally for about a month, decided to post. I've always found myself to be a very peaceful player, going for late game Space Race, Diplo, or Cultural Victories. On few occasions, I would go for warfare but very late in the game, so I'm not too familiar with early...
