Of course one shouldn't expand _too_ fast. But that depends on terrain
and opposition. Early on I try to expand "as much as possible". However,
up to the maybe 25 cities there is no problem with micromanagement
(workers, after seeing to a town, can be let free), since in my games I
get practically everything, only in the border cities does the order of
getting things matter, and even then on occasion.

(Aah, of course one game for me lasts for 4-10 6 hour sessions...)
