It's not a bad thing to restart the game because of a shitty location, that can sometimes happen. \newline % Row Count 6 (+ 6) {\bf{2.}} Start off with a scout or a slinger (2 if on high levels), as the main priority at the start of the game will be to defend your city and to explore your surroundings. Look for city-states and tribal villages, who can give you random rewards including relics which are extremely useful if you want to try for a religious victory as they can give you a pantheon earlier than other civs and drastically increase your faith (early game). \newline % Row Count 15 (+ 9) {\bf{3.}} The first research you will have to make depends on what potential improvements you have (if you have stone research mining, if you have cattle choose animal husbandry, etc...). If you have no tiles with animals or mining resources, choose pottery. Don't choose sailing or astrology unless you have a boost for them. \newline % Row Count 22 (+ 7) {\bf{4.}} Look out for barbarian camps; barbarians will come after you if their scouts spot you and have time to return to their camp. The best way to take down the first barbarian is with a slinger so you will get the technology boost for archery. \newline % Row Count 27 (+ 5) {\bf{5.}} City states are incredibly useful, but only attack them if they are more useful to you as a city rather than an actual city-state.

Pantheons and beliefs can give you incredible bonuses such as gold, science, food, yield bonuses, etc... If you want a domination victory, use the crusade belief which will give you +10 combat strength in your enemy's territory if they follow your religion. Or if you are scared of being attacked, use defender of the faith which will give you +5 combat strength in your home cities that follow your religion. \newline % Row Count 21 (+ 11) {\bf{9.}} Pro civ players always change their policies according to what they need in-game. Try and change them as much as you can (if it benefits you). You can change policies after every new civic researched. \newline % Row Count 26 (+ 5) {\bf{10.}} Great people are incredibly important; they can be earned through great person points through specialty district buildings, wonders, and wildcard policy slot (not recommended). They can give you very powerful in game bonuses and you should try and have at least 2 before the medieval era.
