The production city

[Circee]

Yes, the prod city!

We frequently talk about the science city, but what about this one?

Having a prod city(a city were the prod is 15 or more) in the "early" times of the game (50 first turns at my eyes) is very useful:

• The prod city let you produce big cost unit rapidly
• it let you build wonder VERY rapidly (10-15 turns)
• In the same way, it permit to build rapidly city improvements such as libraries, universities, laboratories, banks, stock excjanges, and market if this is also your science city (not impossible !)
  [/list=a]
  
  the best conditions for a prod cities are, for far I can say:
  
  • Great numbers of hills, plains and forests
  • presence of good prod/trade (the combination is the best, for example: mined Wine) ressources: whales, coal, musk ox, iron.
  • Some grassland(with shields, if possibles) and wheat are very interesting for grow
  • It's the place where you build(of course!!!!) King Richard's Crusades and other shields improvement (Offshore platforms)
  • Finally, having silk, wine or even furs and Ivory are very acceptable because they let your prod city be also your science city
    [/list=a]
    
    
    This is only what came to my mind when I try to describe the prod city, so it is not necessarily well organised, post here for note and comments: they are the welcomes!!!

Don't forget to build Shakespeare's Theatre there too--you can then build a HUGE force under fundamentalism, switch to democracy and voila! no unhappiness ever.

(THought I'd get some French in there too. Are you Canadian by any chance, Az?

)

I think having the theater in your Prod-city is a good thing...

No I'm not canadian. I'm greek (from my father) and french (from my mother)

Yeah, it's better indeed in this case to have you prod city as a hub and the other ones around like spokes. Just connect them with road, then produce-transfert-produce-transfert, etc... Don't forget to set the new home for each unit if you're under democracy.

--Translation--
Bon les gars, on se tape une causette entre nous dans la chatroom? Hein?

Entre francophones.
