most important city improvent
- Thread starter jtb
- Start date
well i kinda like factory but it gives me waste. I dotn really mind 1 waste or corruption. I like library's and i use temples a lot but they cost a lot of money and i always end up having 0 money unless i start building and selling and building and selling.
I use city improvents all the time, but I am careful about cost...
I like libraries, and I build a lot of those, temples, of course, I have to build, I also use courthouses when needed. Later in the game, I build a lot of improvents, airports are very useful, and might be my favorite along side libraries. I build some of thee nuclear, air, ground, and water defence improvents later in the game, and also happiness, food, and sheild production improvents when needed. (Food ones are very common.)
My overall favorites are probably the airport, the library, and the supermarket. Earlier in the game, my favorites might be the library and the granary.

What's the point in that, jtb? If you keep the improvements, then you get advantages. Same with wonders. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!! DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT CITY WALLS, LIBRARY AND BARRACKS ARE FOR??? WITHOUT THEM YOU HAVE NOT GOT A CIV!!!

Erm, I build them all exept stuff you get a Wonder that counts as it (Women's Suffrage instead of Police Station, Pyramids instead of Granary, Hoover Dam instead of any form of power plant except solar). I usually have enough dosh by the end. I don't spread like a plague to start with. Maybe 6 or 7 cities across a few continents. I build up to about 20 or so by about 620AD. By then, I have enough to build as I please and maintain it.

HUH!!???
only small advantages. YOU CANT SELL WONDERS. I TRY TO BUILD ALL WONDERS CUZ THERE ARE large ADVANTAGES. but money is important to me and the advantages for improvents are small. CITY WALLS!!!??? no way i just guard my city at first wit a great walll and then i use like 2 alpine troops 3 riflemen and 1 mech inf.
and i win
but sometimes i use library's
barracks stink

I was gonna say! City Walls TRIPLE your units defence rating. Therefore they are essential. Can I ask you to put your Location? Since you only replied a couple of minutes ago, I'd say you're somewhere in the UK, yes? Put your location in the area provided!
you dont understand!!!
i just find one improvent and then a ton of cities and then i just build sell build sell build sell on and on
i dont actually need the improvents
and i do it cuz i have nothing else to do!
NOTHING
no wonders
1 production or 2 prodution or 1 size cant buil;d settlers or dont want to build units.
i call it doing nothing!!!
I usually have thirty or fourty cities by the year 1 AD! I find it allows me to quickly get armies, science, or whatever I need, right when I need it. In the game I'm in now, I made the mistake of building too many caravels, and now I have about 7 or 8 extra. I could disband them, but I hesitate because some of them aren't even taking support, and I can use them When I don't have anything to build in a city, I just build settlers or city improvents that I don't need, just to sell. I need to do the last part because often my cost gets above my income.

because Jtb the higher the population the more money you get, and the more money you get the quciker you will be in science develpoment and also you will be able to afford every esingle improvment.
guide to pop
city size: 1 pop:10,000
city size: 2 pop:30,000
city size: 3 pop:60,000
city size: 4 pop:100,000
city size: 5 pop:150,000
city size: 6 pop:210,000
city size: 7 pop:280,000
city size: 8 pop:360,000
city size: 9 pop:450,000
city size: 10 pop:550,000
so if you cant see the pattern this is how you would work out the population for the city size 11.
550,000 + (11*10,000) = 660,000
