Aqueduct Initial cost: 405 Engineering, the prerequisite for the aqueduct city improvement, offers other rewards, such as the Forbidden City wonder and the coliseum improvement. However, in the early game (and in the short-term), the biggest reward of engineering is the aqueduct, which can boost food production and reduce pollution all in a single, inexpensive improvement. Once acquired, the aqueduct makes a nice addition to nearly every city (once you have the resources to construct it quickly); the additional food assists in growing your population, which, in turn, quickens resource gathering allowing for speedy expansion.
Initial cost: 5,000 Resting one advance up from the aqua-filter (there are also other ways to reach arcologies beside through fuel cells), the arcology city improvement shares obvious similarities with subtle differences in effect, start-up cost, and maintenance costs. Although the improvement only reduces overcrowding by four, the start-up cost is nearly 40 percent less expensive than that of the aqua-filter. But, that bargain comes at a hefty maintenance cost price tag; the arcology costs an additional 10 gold per turn more than the aqua-filter. If overcrowding is causing you problems, and you don't have the income to hold out for the 8,000-gold aqua-filter, you might go for the arcology, which is cheaper in the medium run.
Initial cost: 1,125 A must-have for early game growth, the bank not only boosts gold with its +50 percent bonus, it also allows merchant specialists, who will add even more gold to your savings. Adding the bank improvement to your most prolific cities can really boom early growth and speed you through early game research and expansion. Because gold is valuable to every facet of the game, whether it's expansion or maintaining a huge army, anything that assists in stuffing your bank account is a smart move.
