@pwaring Afaik, building wide (many smaller cities rather than few massive ones) is still the optimal strategy in the recent civ games. But there a lot of important details related to city placement and management and AI exploitation (critical at higher difficulty levels) that I'm not really qualified to explain.
I can recommend watching a few videos (at least early game) of players that are both good at the game and explain their thought process. e.g. https://youtube.com/user/PotatoMcWhiskey
