Top 10 mistakes

  1. War too early: ancient military pays poorly; grow first.
  2. Cities too spread: 4-6 tiles apart; too far can't support.
  3. Ignoring happiness: check on founding, fix negatives first.
  4. Blind districts: building without adjacency preview wastes yields.
  5. No trade routes: idle Commercial Hub wastes the economy engine.
  6. Poor scouting: blind expansion, passive from info gap.
  7. Idle gold: not spending wastes per-turn output.
  8. Single route: one victory line only, easy to counter.
  9. Ignoring crisis: no gold, no paths, collapse in crisis.
  10. No civ swap: not adjusting pairing across Ages, bonus mismatch.
Stick this list by your monitor. Before any "declare war / rush units" impulse, check it — most pitfalls are impulse decisions.

Right habits

  • First 30 turns: scout, settle, internal growth.
  • Check happiness per city, read adjacency per district.
  • Keep 300+ gold for crisis, routes always open.
