Do you expert players take care to build specific buildings in certain cities? Or to make one city your unit-production center, another your research center, etc.? If so, what kinds of specialized cities do you create?
Do the resources and sites within the city domain determine that city's specialization?
For years I've heard about doing this in Civilization, but I've never been able to actually make myself do it. Instead, I just try to build everything in every city. And I do the same in AoW3. I start with a store house and builder's hall, then build whatever my intuition tells me is needed next. Every now and then, I build a couple units to help defend or to flesh out an army.
Trouble is, I almost never have time in a game to build everything. War breaks out, and I can't afford to build an observatory or anything like that; I have to focus on survival.
