ok since this one is about history

you dont concern yourself with granaries or walls or mills or factories?

I understand about the settler producing machine

thanks for any additional specifics

afterall, even you must get tired of whooping on a grampa

slider positions?

unit health?

anything to take my game to the next level

(Im currently in basement so like any help would be appreciated

Im learning

but what you did was well, awesome

[EPW]

To start off,
I move the sliders to maximize growth and production, sacrificing science and gold.
In my river cities I build settlers, and nothing else until I have forty cities. In non-river cities, I usually start off by building a granary, to increase growth. In between a settler build I will usually build a defensive unit, more for happyness than protection. This depends on land of course. Depending on the situation, I may build growth tile improvements early on, but usually I focus on getting 40 cities. Once I have enough settlers for 40 cities, I will finish building any granaries and also construct aquaducts and caravans. I will also have 1-5 turns where I set the pw % to 100, I build as many growth and production improvements as possible. When mills become availible I build those. At this point I usually find myself behind in science and adjust sliders to try and catch up. In shorter games I will pump out cavalry when they become availible. In longer games I usually terraform to increase production. Hopefully I win.
