Jackpot? No. The large number of BG's is good, but you also want some hills in the radius, and no starting location is complete without a river.

Well, I hit the BG jackpot, then.
 
For future refrence there is almost never a circumstance in which you should be producing wealth. The only situation which would warrant it are small corrupt cities on the fringes of your empire,
Alright, thanks. So instead of wealth I should be producing workers or something?

I somewhat disagree with that. On very rare instances, I will put a city on one or two turns of wealth in order to time another project.

...You can't build a warrior and have your settler build work... so you just go for that "hold 'em" strategy of wealth. it gives you some extra money to have on hand and doesn't cost your empire any upkeep as other builds might.

That's why I do it. Even if you're losing money, it reduces the amount you lose, too.

There is that too, I occasionally do that sometimes as well but find it doesn't happen very often for me anyway.
 
I will use wealth after I have my Specialist farms stabilized and I have plenty of workers and bombardment units. Otherwise, wealth is a risky source of income or a short-term placeholder. By risky, I mean that it gives income without the work involved in building up your empire properly and lulls you to sleep.
 
Later in thgame, when you have at least a size seven city that has all available buildings alrady built, I sometmes switch produtin to wealth if my economy is going down the drain because the large populace and production can actually amount to a pretty good sum of money. At least 15 gpt.
 
The Roman people love their coal, apparently!

I would guess that he is planning a war soon. :sad:

Great. What gives you that idea, though? Coal only allows railroads, right? And there's only two of us, and he's polite towards me.
 
It has been my experience that they are planning a war with you when they turn down an excellent trade deal.

If they take the deal and then declare, it ruins their trade rep with all the others. (oops - just saw that there are only 2 of you left.)

I would be beefing up my roman border at this point.
 
Either your rep is trashed or you are trying to trade for Ceasar's only Coal. Those are the only possible causes that would get you the "never accept" here.
