Hey all,

I've been playing CIV for about 4 months or so and I swear that I am STILL getting my head around how complicated this game is - but that's a good thing :cool:

My question is this - I'm playing Noble with three other AIs on a big arcipeligo (sp) map. I have started out conservative on my cites, I had 4 of them, then went out to conquer Mao. I picked up a penninsula of his with 4 more cities on it and man - the number of hammers that a city produces varies incredibly.

I think Bejing produces 51 hammers or such each turn! And the city south of that produces something like 7. Even my cities (which I think I place well) don't produce nearly that many hammers, a high production city of mine might be low 30s.

Thoughts on this? As I said, I THINK I'm placing my cities well, I don't overfarm, I use mines where I can, and I use windmills / lumbermills / watermills where I can...

I'm playing a pretty big map with 4 players - if you have more players in a game, are there more resources? (This could be my issue)
 
depends on tiles around city (hills & plaines), buildings in the city (forge, factory, etc) and any specialists being run (engineers and super specialist engineers).

all these things add up, cehck the war academy city specialization threads to get more detailed (better) advice
