By cranking up Luxuries periodically you can have a bunch of cities celebrate to their food maximum, then back off Luxuries to minimal levels until you get some additional square irrigated/supermarkets built. Repeat process every 15-20 turns. ![]() |
Wow... taking notes here. Sounds great! How do you know when is the right moment to increase luxuries? When a certain number of cities have no discontented citizens or just one?

Another trick I didn't know. It works because military units cost less than settlers, right? Sounds like a real time-saver.

Not sure I follow... Rush warriors and then switch to settlers to increase trade production? I'm a compulsive irrigator, so I may be misinterpreting here.
