Worker.

While we’re waiting for the Worker, we can explore New York’s hidden terrain to the
west.We move the Spearman west, then march south and north, lighting all that dark
terrain. Finally, we bring it back into New York and garrison it.

A few turns later, Washington completes its Granary. We change the production to
another Worker (after another population check).We can use these Workers to improve
the terrain around Washington and New York.

Somewhere along the line, we also discover an advance and start on Mysticism. This
will make the Oracle Wonder possible, and maybe later we’ll try to build it.

Improving the Terrain
Soon, New York finishes building its Worker.We change production there to a Granary.
When the Worker becomes active, we move it one square to the northwest (using [7] on
the numeric keypad), onto the Grassland square. Next, we open New York’s City Display.
When the Worker becomes active, we move it one square to the northwest (using [7] on

When we look at New York’s Resource Map, we see that the Grassland square north-
west of the city is currently generating one shield and two food. That’s not bad, but we
can use our Worker to improve the production in that terrain square.We close the City
Display and, when the Worker becomes active, click the Build Road Order button or
press [R].

For the next couple of turns, the Worker works on building a road.When the Worker
becomes active again, there’s a road leading out of New York to the northwest.We open
New York’s City Display again and look at the Resource Map. After the construction
of the road, the same Grassland square is now generating one commerce in addition to
its former resources. Not only do we get this benefit, but roads also increase movement
speed; friendly units move three times faster along a road, no matter what type of ter-
rain the road passes through.

Even better, the terrain can be improved further.When the Worker becomes active again,
we’ll click the Build Irrigation Order button or press [I]. Building irrigation takes a bit
longer than building roads. It’s likely that while we’re waiting for the Worker to com-
plete this task,Washington will produce its Worker.We change production to Wealth in
Washington. This will generate some extra cash. Then we send the Worker northeast
to build a road and irrigation in that Grassland square.
