Thanks for the post Possibility! This was for me a helpfull lesson! I didn't realise that the system works withoud a slider while my first game is in progress. I was looking for it LOL. If I think about it, I think that you can still specialize your city's does it? Or do you find balance in every city because of the need for farms everywhere? If you want to create a gold city, how many farms to you need? Perhaps create in turn TP and a farm, en keep on do that. I have no idea. I used to specialize my city's in civ4.

If you want a gold city then choose a place with lots of luxury resources (especially gold and silver for mint) and build more trade posts than farms. Bear in mind that you'll still want growth to use plenty of tiles so you may want a farm or two but you can help growth with granarys and lighthouses etc so don't spam farms in your gold city!

Originally posted by pdxsean View PostThat is a good question. I am pretty sure that you only have to pay once, as in you now pay 2/tile instead of 1/tile. I do know that trade routes stay valid with the rails, although I haven't done any specific study to make sure there's no penalty. I'm about to enter the industrial age in my current game so I will keep an eye on the numbers and see what happens.
When you test it bear in mind that even if there's no road link they may have a sea link.

Yup, i agree to that. In my first game though I was always happy, never unhappy. Buildings can also make happiness if you don't have any luxury resources.
I think you can specialize cities fairly well in this game, if you have a city with lots of food resources, spam more farms in that city and grow it to a large size and focus on librarys and other buildings that increase its science.
On the other hand, if you have a city with lots of luxury resources, then spam trading posts in that city and concentrate on buildings that increase money like the market. Of course getting the city to large population is also good in order to work as many tiles as possible.
