- Saving buildings in the inventory is fine, if there is no need to use them.
- Try to save the City Pack for as late as possible.
- High base scores mean it’s ok to place many close together (eg sandpit) if the main building will score higher, and it will save space.
- Sometimes it is ok to lose points if the position will gain in the future.
- Houses are for devout workers, whereas mansions prefer to be closer to luxury goods.
- The city centre does not have to be near the statue – you may even get a few city centres.
- You do not need an “official” city centre structure to make a new urb.
- “Useless” structures that are being saved may have to be placed in order to progress
- Unlock the new tier as soon as possible – don’t wait to place what is in hand before doing this.
- Placing a building that will add to the value of another is good, however it is worth checking in which order to place these – some might squeeze a few extra points, eg, a park placed next to some trees and houses, before a fountain is placed on the trees and surround with more houses, will net more points than building houses and then placing the park and fountain.
- There may seem little point in unlocking a Shaman in a land with no flowers, but it will add some value, the same with other agricultural things.
- Choose the industrial pathways depending on the space and resources available.
- Where there is a Gold Vein, remember that – without enough mansions, the jeweler is always a loss – so it might worth extending the richer part of town to this richer area.
- Keeping space near industrial parts for future warehouses is useful, as is saving some unused industrial buildings to boost the area.
- Sometimes you just have to place that building you’ve been saving, because no Hop Fields are coming your way…
- Once into past the City Pack, it is less often to get agricultural or industrial drops until after Gold Mine / Plateaus / Temple.
- When planning for a future Market (a potential +100 point build) an town of mansions, leading from a gold vein and within reach of the industrial / agricultural areas is important.
- Temples and Markets do not fit on plateaus *doh*! But they can be used to build around these things.
