I play on my phone it works well, don't have any problems wit it.

1: login rewards IMPORTANT
2: play greece: early clinic building 16x16 area. So build WISELY. A: You can place clinic in the middle, B:or start north and place 2 clinics on each site. Option B is easier to maintain.
Storage, wheel/masonry, sculpture, currency, religion and roads are very important early game and you'll need trading station, costs gold and daimonds. However, there are 4 municipal buildings to build with daimonds, so I've you don't want to pay in game, then DON'T forget login reward and NEVER USE DAIMONDS FOR OTHER THINGS. ONLY FOR the 4 municipal buildings. Dont lvl your buildings to fast to lvl 6, from then you'll get religion/happiness problems. Focus on commerce buildings, DECORATION, etc. You'll need to plan for roads to fishery, but that's lvl 20. Try to find friends, it helps costs and time reduce building. So in early game it's not so difficult to start, but from lvl 15 it will get more complex and to resettle population.
Start roads 16x16 and use every corner in the end. L3x2D, it means you'll have in every corner 24 places to build and make roads in it. Place a fountain in the middle of a area 3x2, and use the crossing point empty corners for basic commerce buildings, like grain or meat for example. On youtube Bo Recchio has a few uploads. So I used his strategy of how to start sim empire and build as wise as possible, to get religion later religion buildings. So watch out before upgrading everything. Last but not least. If you resettle: you'll need clinic, fire station, repair station, watch tower and fountain for civs. For upgrading/resettle buildings costs also food and other rss, like clay/clay tiles, cabbage/grain, wood, stone etc. But there are much more to discover. Till lvl 15 build wise, after that build wrong will get your civs indifferent or worse. Have fun with this game and try to find people who don't make war, just build and trade.

If you play random play field you'll don't get extra rewards. Only 1 time to restart game, but if you not connect game, then you can start over and over again. So beware of buying stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
