Migrants can be used to more easily move population from one city to another. They cannot found new cities on their own.

With migrants you can make a big wonders city fast. A big wonders city or a city with library and a market is a very good idea.

Thanks for this astuce

From what size of city is a market or library interesting? I read your post on a big city project, and it's also full of goods advices !!

Good to hear that the stuff about big cities is useful.

As a rule of thumb you should build a market if the city generates 10 gold. With libraries it's more complex but maybe go for libraries if the city can generate maybe 14-16 science. However if the great Library has been built you should do libraries when the cities generate maybe 8-10 science.

The markets, banks, stocks and super highways generate also lux. That makes them important for keeping the cities happy. A big city will benefit more from a market or bank than from a cathedral. If you need to choose between a market or a temple and the city is size 14 I would say go with market if Shakespeare's has been built. Anyone else commenting on this?

Plz tell me:
1. How to use caravans as a trade unit? And what proffit is it giving?
2. How to use Leonardo workshop? Is it works automatically with upgarde or it is influence only on cost of upgrade?

1. When you move a caravan into a city that is far enough (depending on the ruleset), a "trade route" is established and from that moment on, both cities receive an amount of trade every turn. It is automatic, you just need to get a caravan to a suitable city. However, in most or almost all LT games this is disabled so caravans are ONLY used to help build wonders.

2. Leonardo works automatically. Every turn, at the beginning, you will get a notification that units have been upgraded.
