How many territories do you generally have per city?

[Eldrin]

I generally try to have 2-3 territories per city.

[Townsendvol]

Yeah I would say 2-4 but no idea if that’s good or bad

Well there's a trophy for having a 20 territory city, so at least once you should try to make a 20 territory city. A large pangea map would probably be best.

2-4 but I'm only gradually raising difficulty so it's not much of a problem yet. You definitely need a couple for end game nuke and spaceship stuff.

Wow that’s a big grouping. I don’t feel bad at all now for my 4.

Not necessarily. I won with a score victory a bit ago. It didn't require those things, just getting a higher score by the last turn.

Irrelevant. If you want to use nukes, you will need territory for tests. Same if you want spaceship victory.

The largest I've had was 8 territories + the city territory itself; happened after a merger of two big cities of mine.

Generally I'll go for 3-4 territories each city, although it does depend on location.

AS many as I can get away with.
The less Cities you have, the stronger they are, and the harder it is to capture Territory from you, in the middle of War.

I usually end up with my main city having 5-7 territories, and a second and third city with 4 to 3 each.

I see. I misunderstood your intention. For a target of your nukes I suggest pandas. Things would be a lot simpler if we didn't have to deal with their drama.

Won a match with a single city, will load it up later to get an exact number on the territories, at least 25.

As someone who was Chinese at that state, Pandas were under my protection. I did nuke French once to test out nuclear capabilities.

Boy do I love them nukes in this game more than in Civ games. They actually behave like you expect them to behave.

How is it harder then? The AI will just go ransack your non city territories.

I went with 1~3, but late game after a few conquests, even though I merged a ton of enemy cities I still had like 14 of them and I was 3 or 4 above my limit, micro management was starting to get annoying, maybe I should have merged some of them

In my mainland the capital got 3 to get access to a huge stone/forest area for production and stacking 3 egyptian pyramids, while the rest just got 1 or 2 other regions according to their needs.

IE: The capital in the jungle needed some farming land to grow food, and some more space to build it's 9th wonder

I also had one city of 1 region into an enemy continent, just because I wanted to have a foothold on it, just in case, and I was spreading culture and religion everywhere but that continent was being harder to convert, in the end that one territory city ended up taking every single tile and turning everything into districts, it wasn't bad
