Is a hill start the best start you can get? I restart all of my games at about turn 100, but from what I can gather, settling on a hill means I get Liberty earlier, and get my Settler about 7 turns earlier. The earlier Monument means that if you go the Pottery > Writing route, you can slingshot into Medieval by getting the Great Library. You get the additional hammer for production early on, which means you can strike out a Monument 3 turns earlier. So like this question which asked how important it is to settle next to a river, I'm curious: If your Settler spawns on a hill, is there ever any reason to move it to another tile?Ĭorrect me if I am wrong, because I have only completed one settler level game and now I'm running immortals and deity, but doing the math, a hill tile is always better. Sure, you will lose out on some water buildings, but overall, they aren't worth the hammers they cost to build them anyway. Civilization 4 was a little different with where you might want to settle, and in Civilization 5, there is no real benefit of even settling next to a river for your capital.
