@scapheap: You don't have enough resources to build that in your city. It's going to fail next turn. You can see your Resources under the Resources tab. If you're in the negative for anything next turn it will cancel what it needs to to prevent that. You also may want to claim more land with your spare population, since it will mean more resources.

I thought that the labor would mean that it a three turn thing. I'll change my moves.

It's good it has been clarified though, since I thought the same thing.

[Squeegy]

Nope, every action you make will be completed by the next turn.

That's kind of awesome

[Squeegy]

It certainly makes things simpler, and keeps the pace fresh.

Worth noting: The order in which you all take your turns is randomized every turn. Cities and tiles complete their actions first in that order, then units in order of move speed, and then I believe conquering is last. During an attack, attackers move first, generally giving the defenders the first attack as they approach. Keep this in mind when planning strategy; randomized initiative can make a huge difference against an enemy. Also, heads up: I don't believe mines do anything unless they're on a tile with iron, gold, or gems.

Additionally, a size 5 city will produce 2 labor, allowing you to build two things each turn. Spending one free population on another city, and then raising it to pop 3, will also give you a second labor per turn. An Engineer's Guild will give you an extra labor per turn in that city also. Building an Aqueduct will let you raise your city's size to 6, turning it into a Metropolis that provides 4 labor (counting the Engineer's Guild). That's essentially the whole process of expanding your empire and allowing you to increase concurrent production. You will need to balance this process of steadily putting down cities with making units to defend yourself and attack others, and expanding to lay claim to as many resources as possible. To this end, I recommend in addition to getting your cities to size 5 as soon as possible, to also put down another settlement in an advantageous position (bear in mind terrain bonuses to defense; forest/swamp 25%, hills 50%, mountains 100%) this turn or next so you can bring it to size 3 and get 3 labor per turn.
