you can maybe make an exception, but it has to be worth it (so, no terracotta army) and you have to be confident you can make it.

it's a huge ass project when you could spend your turns better, reinforcing basic infrastructure and making units to defend your ass - because the ai gets aggressive now - and deter unwanted guests. i'm honestly a bit lacking at this because i use a lot of trade routes for gold and end up playing wide (many medium-to-large sized cities) rather than tall (fewer cities but stuffed full of people), but most will tell you that tall is the way to go, and to use trade routes for pushing food to the capital.Īfter that, a crucial point. your second priority is still science, because science needs population growth. get the library, the national college and universities asap, and build them as soon as you can. and they are enough to keep you behind for the entire game if you don't go to work.
