Hatshepsut is unfortunately quite reliable on getting a favorable spawn.
Culture From Trade
Hatshepsut gets a flat +1 Culture from every resource you import into the empire.
The Culture from trade complements the Culture you should be earning from the multiple Wonders you build with Hatshepsut.
As a result, Hatshepsut favors a morepeacefulgame.
This is easier said than done on harder difficulties.
The Deity AI are generallyvery aggressive.
Production On Navigable Rivers
Hatshepsut really relies on getting agood Navigable River startfor her capital.
Hatshepsut has starting bias for Navigable Rivers, but this still doesn’t guarantee it.
This is because the boost to fishing boats works well with your production focus.
Alternatively, you should go forAnimal HusbandryorPotteryto boost your production early.
Animal Husbandry is great for heavily vegetated capital cities, as all thewoodcutters will provide massive production.
Pottery is best forclay pits, mines, and quarries.
You should grab both of these right at the start of the game.
We really like to go forMasonryandMasonry IInext to unlock the Monument and the extra production on production buildings.
Government bonuses are activated when you enter a Celebration, which means Happiness is also a big focus.
More Happiness, more Celebrations.
