So I built a settler unit in case I lost my capital. I would have a settler hanging around in case I lost my capital. I would not "settle" the settler, just having it chill and avoid comet strikes. Luckily I kept my capital until my crew made it to the new planet.

So, a few tips if you try something like this ever again: 1) even though you can't WORK tiles farther than 3 from your city, you still gain amenities from improved luxuries and strategic resources 2) everything else in those tiles can be chopped and so you at least get something out of those tiles 3) You can troll the enemies who attack your city-states by levying the city state units and making a ring around the city, then replace those units with something cheap of your own near the end of the levy. They can attack the city with ranged units, but never capture it. Works particularly well when the one attacking is your ally so there's no chance he declares war on you.

@Jack_Rakan4 жыл бұрын
@@krishnakamal7795 Cities could always expand past the 3 tile mark, even in the base game. It's just that you cannot buy tiles, or work tiles, or build districts/wonders outside the 3rd ring. However, even if you don't work Luxuries you still get the amenities in the empire for the improvement, and even if you don't work strategic resources, you still get them added to the empire's stocks. So you can only expand to those tiles naturally trough a cities' culture production, and can only make any use of them trough passive means, or by chopping features.

I mean I know if I'm doing a science victory I need to build campuses (campi?), but what should I do to maintain a reasonable culture/gold/etc., outside of building theatre squares, commercial hubs/harbors, etc. Policy cards, pillaging, stealing with spies, etc. 2) A video (or series of videos) on the different map types and how they change the world. Land/water ratios, distribution of land types, land vs coast, etc. The one sentence description that the map selection screen gives you is pretty unhelpful.
