Longevity

[jlindy]

I alway seem to lag behind on population longevity until I get medicine and can start building hospitals. Whats a good strategy for longevity in the early to mid game? I try to get aquaducts, graineries,markets, and grocers in all my cities as early and quickly as I can (balanced against military needs). Few if any of my ities are smellies, but yet I lag behind in the early going. Can longevity be tied to leader traits?I generally go for org/ind or org/fin leader.

Does longevity help you in any way? AFAIK it doesn't, and so i wouldn't go out and purposely try to improve it.

By the thread title, i thought you were going to ask how come the leaders can live for 6050 years!

Quite true , it's just a point of pride for me I guess, that and just a bit of wonder in that how a civ thats technologically inferior to mine have better longevity! As for living for 6050 yrs. once you've researched mysticism anythingis possible.

And you know what i just realized? In those 6050 years, they never age a bit. Now that's impressive! What's Hatshepsut's secret for looking so young at 6050 years old?

An expansion trait has +2 health in a city, I'm sure you have noticed that. Maybe try that one out for once!

Make sure you get the Hanging Gardens. I've noticed the AIs don't really go out of their way to build it.

This is a useful wonder in ALL games, no matter your strategy.
