I have been playing Civ V for a little while now and am about to jump from prince to king.
Most of my games, so far have me trying to go tall (usually 3 cities), turtle, and play peacefully. I would like to try playing a bit wider game (somewhere around 5-8 cities) but I'm not sure how to get started. When going wide, do you limit growth in your cities once they hit a certain population so that your happiness doesn't drop significantly? It seems once I have 3 or 4 cities, I have a tough time keeping up with unhappiness, not sure how I'd keep up with 8 cities. Any advice would help. Is there a thread like the 4 City Tradition thread that's geared towards how to manage/build a wide empire?
Thanks!
