Chieftain
I started a new game yesterday and figured it might be time to move up. So I played as the Iroquois on Regent (war academy claims its a good one to move up with). To my surprise, by the 10th turn my nation was completely unproductive because of unhappiness and the closest luxuries nearby were a few tiles up. My income was breaking even. Not to mention that while I was REXing the AI was still popping cities out at a rate much higher than I could even hope. Any tips?
