The settler lens that suggests where a city should go can sometimes be pretty bad. Like next to one bonus resource and mostly trash land and no water or aqueduct possible. A newer player might not know the benefit of moving one tile over to make a city a harbor town or an aqueduct city. They just thought (understandably) "well the game suggests this is a decent spot and what do I know? Sure!"

All you need to win a game on normal difficulty is to plan 3 cities to have 3 aqueducts near each other as close as you can and then build industrial districts with 4+ bonus (try to get this technologies first and find a good place near a river/mountains). Usually you can add government square near 2 industrial zones to make them very powerfull. You will be in a bad shape at the beggining, but after the construction you will build your city/builders/military very fast. Production is a main key to win.
@iinsaniity6729Ай бұрын
When would you decide to build a lumber mill instead of chopping? There are times when I'm settling in an area with no hills for mines, and while chopping the trees of an area gives you instant production you could be starving production for that city later (at least from my perspective). Is this a scenario where you would plant forests later on to overcome the reduced production later on? Does an industrial zone or encampment make up for the production deficit on its own?

The truth of the statement "settle more cities, improve more tiles" cannot be overstated. I recently spawned on a map where I had a ton of free land to my North and East, with China to my West and Arabia to my South. Once I discovered I could forward settle China and Arabia then have like 2/3 of a continent to myself I got those cities up with encampments and made sure I could keep them loyal while any other city not worried about being invaded pumped out settlers until the industrial era. On stats alone I may have just looked competitive, by the modern era I could win any way I want, though I failed to win culture and science on the same turn on Deity.

@karinlindblom2934Ай бұрын
I did the same misstake when I started. If you calculate the amount of tiles avilable in the first ring around the city it's 6 tiles and in the second ring it's 12 tiles. Thi smeans if you put your cities whit 4 tiles between them you have a city that has tiles for 18 citizens to work. Whit districts that has buildings in them you can add some spots as specialists. You don't need more space than that and usually a lot less. Today I spread my cities a long way from each other only when I plan them for national parks
@aydinu25Ай бұрын
Really depends on the civ you're playing as, and if you want to build wide or tall. If you're in a situation where less cities = more power, then building them that far apart is a fine idea; usually however, you will want to try to cram as many cities into your land as possible for loyalty, cooperation b/w cities, and generally having more cities translates to more yields
@GhostranderАй бұрын
The key thing is this: Placing a city with purpose is more important than spacing. If you're playing a game with plenty of open land and can make great cities, then placing further apart can be great. If you're on a smaller map with less space, having more cities with less land is often better. The big benefit to settling close is that it leaves room for more cities which means more specialty districts in total in your empire. If you're playing with DLC, having closer cities also helps with loyalty so they will be at less risk to flip (as well as put more pressure on foreign cities to possibly flip them). The reason to spread further is to have "tall" cities that can "do it all" as it were. Say you have enough space for only two cities in an area, and if you settle in the middle you would be out of reach of usable tiles, then it makes more sense to settle two cities instead to grab more of those tiles. Probably 75% of the time it's going to be better to settle in 4 or 5 range of other cities, but not always, and for some Civs going tall will be better. Especially, say, you're playing a wonder-heavy game, having more space for those wonders in a given city could be advantageous. You might also think about it more like this... What is the purpose of this city? Is there a really tasty +4 or +5 campus? Make that campus your priority (and build up your other tiles to support that initiative). Or is there a mountain path that would give you strategic control in order to protect your empire from getting invaded by being much more defendable? Grab that path and solidify your borders, place an encampment and build a wall, make it a fort that can bide time for you to produce a military, etc.

@lyons2577Ай бұрын
Over a standard 500 turn game, the +1 from the forest would net you considerably more than chopping it. But the point is exponential growth. Chopping helps you get districts put up significantly faster, which will ramp up your production far further than the forest tile would ever get you. Also, as he said, you should be improving each tile. Chances are it's not a good idea to put lumber mills everywhere, so more often than not, you're going to be removing them at some point anyway. And this is a competitive game, so you want to build up your empire as quickly as possible. But everyone has their own fun. If it feels nicer to have lots of trees, go for it.
@iainjames313Ай бұрын
If a city has no hills (e.g., it's all plains and grassland) I usually leave the trees to make lumber mills since they're the only local source of production for early-to-mid game. If the city has 3-4 hill tiles, you can just build mines and chop the forest. Forest-on-hills or stone-on-hills is a no brainer chop since you get instant production and can replace with a decent mine tile. With Magnus established the production you get might even outweigh the value from a lumber mill, if you chop at say turn 100 and win around turn 250. And if you're chopping out something that gives yields, even more so.
