Haven't seen these explicity stated before, but then again, I haven't trawled through all the archives. Comments?
1.) End of turn resource reallocation. If you have a city (mid-size, flexibility about which squares you work) that only needs 12 shields to complete what its building, if its producing more than 12, reallocate to produce more trade / food. Don't waste the surplus shields.
2.) If you have a mega-production city, you can use it to set up trade routes for your smaller counterparts. Build freight, send it to the smaller city (choose "keep moving" when it arrives), and then "home" it to the small city. Helps when you want to keep the smaller city producing improvements / units rather than caravans / freight.
3.) Early in the game, send a lone settler to build a city close to the AI, as far away from your own area as possible, and preferably on a mountain (for defense). Don't use it for anything other than a target for the AI (build a couple of defensive units in it, plus city walls). This will keep the AI busy for a few aeons, and allow you to build up your home continent.

Andrew
