I have played my first game in a little while. I have A New Dawn and the latest ROM on prince difficulty. I played how I usually did, I built mines where hills were and supported them with farms and built towns around plains and grasslands with a few farms to support. I was leading for a little while mid-game, but for the most part I have had lower GDP and GNP. Recently one computer player over took me by a large degree in GDP and GNP. This is all despite me having the largest land and largest population.

So I checked out what they were doing for improvements, and the leading computer player was spamming towns. I mean every single tile except those that need other improvements (like resources) was a town. And this was beating my combination of farms/mine/towns. I wanted to know, is this normal? And is the best strategy really to just put towns on every single tile except those that need specific improvements?
 
Yeah, spamming towns is a bit of a problem but it has at least been noted and there is a discussion about it going on here.
