I think this is very iffy as to being a bad habit. Yah need more information. For instance. If that square that is two from the luxury is on a river - go for the river and grow into your luxury.
I find that I often have to make a choice in the game as to which city strategy will do me the most good... Do I need that hill for defense or the river? or the game/forest?? or the spices????. It all depends.
I don't agree. In such a case found one city on the river. Then found another city on the other side of the luxury. That gives you a CxxC spacing between those cities... *based on terrain* that seems like the optimal choice for those two cities... if you don't have that luxury already within your empire. If you already have it, then we might have a different story.

Doug you are already getting into 'And if" yourself. Like I said... it all depends.

Here's a mistake I just discovered I'm already making for ages:
116. Not checking the properties of Wonders properly and assuming Copernicus is a Scientific wonder, while it is an Expansionist one.

117) Forgetting to start building rails on the same turn Steam Power has been discovered. Damn I do this all the time! Sometimes takes me 3 or 4 turns if I'm busy fighting a war lol

I get a Civ-boner every time I can start building railroads. I certainly don't have that habit.
113. Meaning to just play "one more turn" and suddenly realizing that if I went to bed at that exact second I would then get a whole 3 1/2 hours sleep before have to wake up for work.

Death Machine: That's actually number 118. Speaking of which:
119. Committing habit 118, and then just deciding that 3 1/2 hours of sleep aren't worth the bother - I'll play until morning, "just this once."
120. Committing 119...again.

121) Being so focused on the game that it does not register that your wife is wearing a new negligee, your favorite perfume and a very, very big smile. 
122) Because of #121, accepting the fact that you've made your own Here's your sign! moment.

123) Doing all the extra work to win a 20k and having your Internet build put you over the Domination limit 15 turns before your 20k date.
124) Predicting the wrong candidates for the UN election and having the vote go against you because you are allied with the other candidate and at war with the other voter.

125) I actually think no one has mentioned reloading yet. 
Reloading when you lose a town, when someone else finishes a wonder one turn before you would have completed it, or whatever

126) Keeping your armies fortified near your core becuase you can't afford to lose an army.

127) Attacking with a wounded army because it will probably easily win "just one more". Naturally, the RNG gods disagree, and the army gets killed either in the "easy" attack or by counterattack on the IBT.
128) For us non-CAII people, not checking every city for riot possibilities every turn, then having the riot mess up your settler pump (or worse).
129) For us non-CAII people, checking every city, but mistaking content people for happy people, and having a city riot anyway. :suicide:

If you play on a non-Intel Mac, the helper programs are not an option, as they do not exist. I am debating putting them on my Windows game editing box, but I do not use that for playing, using mainly my Mac Ibook. I have a disability that makes it very difficult to sit for extended periods of time, so that my playing is on the Ibook using my lap desk. Windows game editing box means that I have to sit. Not a good idea for me. I think that it might be possible to move saves from Mac to Windows, but not sure if it is worth the effort.

131. Building 4 unit armies requiring 5 slots on a water transport when all you have are galleons with 4 slots, and playing on a water map. I keep doing that and boy is it annoying. And I refuse to change the setting on galleons from 4 to 5 slots to compensate for that. A galleon carrying a 3 Marine or 3 Tank army is enough of a stretch.
132. Forgetting the X-axis wraparound and exploring only in one direction. Guilty as charged.
