Fertile Terrain

Fertile terrain, such as forest and grass, is extremely valuable. It is the most efficient source of food as well as the only place you can build most kinds of agriculture.

Some tips for making the best use of fertile terrain:
  • try to place agriculture on grass, not on forest
  • try to place terrains that need mediumfertile on steppe, not on grass or forest
  • try to place other buildings on rock
  • try to design cities to make use of the terrain that they start with, and use a strong trade network to distribute the goods
