	Best options for city growth...? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Hey folks,

OK, if your sole goal was to make your cities become as big as possible in the shortest amount of time, what would you do?

I realise some of these options won't help at all, but increasing which of the below options will help the most in city growth:

- Entertainers
- Farmers
- Workers (or whatever it is...)
- Merchants
- Scientists

I figured only farmers could help, but I may be wrong.

And lastly, would farms be the best tile improvements for city growth? Again, I would have thought so, but I guess the other type to bring in production and commerce would have some beneficial effect.

Keep in mind I'm looking for the 'quickest' city growth, to help improve my game.

Cheers,

Shadow

	Just dug out the manual... Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

OK, ok... so it struck me that a bunch of this stuff would probably be in the manual. So I searched around for a while, dug it out and read the whole thing...

Anyway, add any comments if you want. But a lot of my questions are answered.

	Enslave the enemy Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Actually the quickest way is with slavers, get a large army stacked with a slaver, and roam the countyside looking for enemy units, each time you fight them the city will increase in size, I got a few cities with a size of 29 before 1 A.D. this way.

The best terrain to support this large population would be terraforming everything to grassland and building farms, but you won't have the technology or the resources to do so early in the game, just use slavers and farms.
