Once you’ve founded, captured, or gained a city, you need to direct its
growth and production. Each city has different assets and demands, so each
should be managed individually. You must keep several goals in mind when
managing a city: maintaining population growth, maximizing a useful mix of
economic development (food, raw materials, and trade), producing tax
revenue, producing technological research, and producing useful units and
improvements, all the while maintaining an attitude of contentment and thereby
avoiding civil disorder. For cities to grow and prosper, they need to balance
economic output with the citizens’ needs for infrastructure and services.
