Civ 5 tips

I know that there are many who claimed Civilization 5 is too easy for them. Well, I seem to have some trouble with the game and maybe there are others who feel that way too, so let’s have a thread with some tips!

My biggest frustration now is my starting city. Sometimes I get a sweet good spot and I have ample food and hammer; but usually I tend to have towards either having lots of food or or lots of hammer. (Gold seems to be surprising easy to get though).

So when you have lots of food, what shall be your strategy? Likewise, what shall you do when you have lots of hammer, but not food?

When you have a lot of food just place trading posts instead of farms. That way you get your gold and instead of building things just purchase them all out. Of course you won’t be able to build wonders in your capital but by then you should have at least one city dedicated soley to production.

If you have too many hammers you should still have another city dedicated to gold so just pay off maritime city-states.
