Im sure this thread has been done before but im gonna go ahead and ask this question anyway.
Ok, I can master civ 3 on monarch level, but when i move up to emperor i struggle. The main reason I struggle is because the AI expands so quickly that I end up with about 6 cities before ive ran out of space(on a standard map). The AI on the other hand will have double the cities, and i never really manage to compete with them in terms of military and science. Therefore i end up losing miserably. One way i could combat this is by building loads more cities in a more confined area, i.e. building the cities only a few squares apart from each other. What i just wanted to know was how will this effect the cities themselves? Will they not grow higher than a population of 3 because there competing for food? What is the minimum space you could get in between cities that wont hinder the city growing above a level 4 population, does it need to be at least 3 squares? I usually do what the AI does and leave about 6 squares in between each city but this dosent seem to work because i dont expand quick enough.
