Cities are the centers of population, production and power. When founded or captured, a city is assigned to a Family.
Cities can only be founded on certain locations called City Sites. Originally those are controlled by Barbarians, who are constantly as War with all Nations and have to be defeated to gain control of the City Site.
Culture level
Each city has a culture level, which is increased each time the Culture bar fills. Culture level provides increasing bonuses to the city but also increasing costs per population.
Improvements
Improvements can be used to grand various bonuses to a City. There are two types of improvements: rural and urban. If a Worker is selected the game will suggest the tile where each improvement is most effective.
Improvements without a Specialist will increase the City's Maintenance.
Rural improvements
Rural improvements can only be constructed on non-urban tiles. They require either certain terrain or a certain natural resource present on the tile.
Urban improvements
Urban improvements can be constructed only in the following:
- An urban tile.
- A tile adjacent to two urban tiles. The tile will become urban once the improvement is completed.
- A tile adjacent to one urban tile and one water tile. The tile will become urban once the improvement is completed.
Barracks and Ranges are limited to 2 per City.
Hamlets
Hamlets may be built anywhere. In 20 turns it will grow into a Village, and in another 20 turns it will grow into a Town. Only one Hamlet may be built for each Culture Level of a City.
Shrines
Shrines may be built anywhere and gain various bonuses depending on their location and the Nation's Religion. They may not be built next to each other.
Specialists
Specialists are unlocked by certain Improvements that can be trained to boost the yield of the Improvement. All Specialists also produce a small amount of Science. A Specialist's production cost increases with each one built in a city.
Rural specialists
Rural specialists produce 1 Science. They can also provide Luxuries if the Improvement is built on a natural resource that can produce it.
Urban specialists
Urban specialists can be upgraded, improving their bonuses. Upgrading a specialist does not require Citizens.
- Training an Apprentice specialist costs 40 Food and 40 Civics and produces a bonus of 2 Science each year.
- Upgrading to Master specialist costs 60 Food and 60 Civics and produces a bonus of 3 Science each year.
- Upgrading to Elder specialist costs 80 Food and 80 Civics and produces a bonus of 4 Science each year.
Wonders of the World
Wonders of the World are powerful Improvements that can only be constructed once. As soon as a Nation begins constructing a Wonder of the World other Nations cannot start it unless a hostile unit enters the tile of an unfinished Wonder of the World and destroys it. Not all Wonders of the World are available each game. They are chosen randomly at the start of each game. Most Wonders of the World require the City to reach a certain Culture Level before they can be constructed. Each Wonder of the World provides 2 Victory Points.
