Further Exploration of the City Improvements "When to Build It?"

[TheWilltoAct]

Good to know though that the Theater only gives +1 Happiness, always thought it gives +1 itself and +1 for the Dye.

Well it does give you an extra for every 10% of the Culture slider.

And I find that building Research or Wealth very interessting, actually never used that, unless a city had nothing else to build, or the game was soon before end.

I tend to forget about it also! By building wealth in a city with production potential, you can turn your mines into a bounty of money, keeping the science slider from falling lower than desired. No buildings are required for this approach, although a forge can be nice. Once the expansion or war crisis has ended, you may want to return to building units and leave the generating to cities more suited to the purpose.
