Most cities will happily reach double-figure populations without any tile improvements at all. The first problem is whether or not to invest in public works (PW). With building and exploration under way, the next 2000 years should ideally be devoted to growth, and to do that you've got to get to grips with your economy. As you grow, try to keep your empire as rounded as possible - if you allow it to string out too far, you'll suffer from added unhappiness and awkward communications problems, at least until you acquire a railroad. If you have to build on a less than ideal spot to achieve 'shape', don't worry. Keep them in a group so they're not too far from the capital. On the other hand, if you're setting up one or two cities as specialist centres (see Combat Crisis? panel opposite) then it's not important. It's not wise to build them too close together -if they overlap, one of them will have fewer resources to harvest. Aim to have about six to ten strong cities rather than 30-40 weakish ones. If there's no sign of the opposition, start churning out more settlers. From now on, your moves are going to depend on what happens around you. If all is clear so far, aim for a second city. Investigating ancient ruins close to your city is a bit risky unless your city is defended, but it can be worthwhile, especially if you grab a new advance. Look around your continent methodically, moving diagonally where possible, because that way you uncover five squares a turn as opposed to three. The latter are handy if the terrain is flat and open, but a complete waste of time in mountainous areas. Next comes a unit for exploring - either a cheap and cheerful warrior or a horse archer. With your first city's foundations laid, the next step is a defensive unit, either a warrior or a phalanx, fortified in the city square. It you slip behind your opponents in technology or growth, the next 7000 years or 350 turns will be a real struggle. Don't dally long though, even on a big and apparently empty map. If you haven't got those, move two or three squares in a diagonal direction (or up or down the river if there is one) and see if things improve. Ideally, you want two mountain squares and two forest or jungle squares inside the city radius. Look at the square you're already in - will it make a reasonable city? If it's a food-producing square such as grassland and, even better, on a river, then build straight away. If you specified an earth-type world in the starting options, you can expect ice in the polar regions, so if you happen to be sited close to the top or bottom of the map, head the other way for the more fertile land. Before you even touch anything, look at your 'radar' map in the lower-leftД¬orner. You kick off with a settler, nine squares of visible terrain and a big black curtain covering the rest of the planet surface. However, you don't have to decide which route to take right away, as the strategies and tactics employed are broadly the same in each case.
