My thought would be set 4. With temp trades for infra buys, and possibly bills.

@alden peterson

I was always on the fence with the Affluent Population build. Lots of income boosters and decent population bonuses... no Water. =(

Gold
Silver
Gems
Coal
*Fine Jewelry
Wine
Furs
Fish
*Affluent Population
Iron
*Steel
Lumber
Lead
*Scholars
Wheat
Cattle

So you mean collecting income and paying bills, dropping Wheat and Cattle, getting Marble and Aluminum, and buying infrastructure?

Which would be best for someone too lazy to switch trades?
