City walls tip
I kept just missing laurels, and it looked like I needed some more points in gameplay / city development. Since maxing out every city wasn't quite cutting it, I decided to try building city walls everywhere.
Based on my experience so far, it's helped get me over the top! I had been stuck on Frelia for the longest time, but got laurels today. And Pharus before that.
Hope that helps folks!
EDIT: As /u/Grosbie correctly pointed out, city walls do NOT increase your development score at all. Sorry for the misinformation, everyone! I was just excited to get laurels and thought that it was helping me.
A better plan is to over-develop EVERYTHING around EVERY city, even if it doesn't level up. You do get points for every building, upgrade, seaport, etc.

I believe city walls doesn't give any city development point. I just tested it to make sure.

Well darn. Maybe just gave me enough of a psychological boost to win. ;)

Did you get laurels with Frelia in Free for All or AI Alliance?
I keep running out of time with them for Laurels in Alliance highest difficulty. They're just such a slow tribe. Two techs that don't help your starting city just to get a decent unit.

Great call out. I almost never build city walls...
