Granary Initial cost: 540 Nearly every game of Civilization: Call to Power will begin with the ability to build the granary city improvement. Don't hesitate to do so. Food and population growth are two early game issues that the granary will tackle head-on. If you have enough food for your populace to consume, it will start to grow. Once you grow, your empire will begin to expand. When you expand, you'll bring in more revenue to construct new cities, improvements, and units. You get the picture.
Initial cost: 2,250 With the medicine line of advancement comes many opportunities to improve your civilization's state of happiness. When deciding to build a hospital, you're probably battling overcrowding, which causes both unhappiness and pollution. A moderately priced improvement, the hospital would be a worthy improvement to combat any overcrowding problems as you try to keep your cities happy while churning out production and research. Combine the hospital with the less expensive aqueduct to significantly decrease overcrowding while boosting food production.
Initial cost: 5,000 Huge maintenance costs make
the house of freezing a potential improvement to pass up, although the
significant gold bonus makes it worth a second, or even a third, look.
Should you be under theocracy (the only way to get the house of freezing's
+5 happiness bonus), your civilization should already be fairly content
from your likely uses of temples and cathedrals. If not, though, the house
of freezing could be a smart buy to raise those happiness levels while
also shooting gold through the roof. If you aren't under theocratic rule,
however, the benefits of the house of freezing don't outweigh the high
start-up and maintenance costs. Initial cost: 2,500 Reaching the human cloning advance could greatly benefit the defensive-minded player who hopes to expand his empire through heavy production. The incubation center city improvement boosts production by 25 percent (and is cumulative with other improvements that boost production, such as the mill). The micro defense, also awarded by the human cloning advance, can protect that important city from infect city and nano-attack. Any increase in production rarely has a downside; the only concern with the incubation center is its relatively high maintenance costs.
