At the start of civilization stage, capture all spice geysers that you can by selecting your vehicle/vehicles with left click and capture spice geysers with right click. More spice means more currency and if you are going the Economic route, Sporebucks are going to be your best friend. If you trade enough with a neighboring city, you'll eventually be able to buy it.
