    I think that has been outlawed. Many people don't even know about it.

      • What about terraforming a tile before you settle on it?

        We used to ban this also in CtP2 MP, but what do you think?

          If its acceptable, is their a problem?

          I ask, because I say find 3 great goods in a forest/hills region but no water/farm potential

          i simply "roadmap" farms to me from a water source

          looking to hear more folks

            Terraforming around a city is fine of course, but I mean terraforming the future city tile itself. Say terraforming a plains or grassland to forest before you settle on it.

            I haven't used it in either of my games though because I wasn't sure.

              ok, so basically you get a production bonus "under" the city?

              I wouldnt have a problem with it

              • I would say terraforming is fine, building farms or mines is not.

                  agreed, terraform is one thing but when it comes to tile improvements, no

                  • It seems the sentiment is to ban farm or mine under city. To me, this does seem like a bug and should be banned. Here is the text of the proposed rule:

                    4d) Settling on top of a farm or mine.

                    Without objection, I'll add this to the rules.

                      • 190. hornedfrog vs Maquiladora; Started Nov 2008

                        hf resigned in this game at turn 82.

                        His new cities were unfortunately (for him) settled right across the ocean from my older more developed cities, allowing me to capture 3 quickly with SotL before he could get defences to them. More were probably to follow, so that was it.

                        We just started a rematch.

                          It was - unless both players agreed upon it before the match started.

                            But you still get closer and closer. Problem is use of your navy......... you have to work more with it.

                            And then science. You need to have focus on science from the start in case your opponent have an equal or better fleet (read more SOTLs). If so, then you HAVE to get first to aerodynamics to get fighters.

                            • Alright, here is the change to Rule 4:

                              Cheating in PBEM includes:
                              a) Opening your opponents turns before the game ends.
                              b) Replaying any turn.
                              c) Using the "rush buy - then switch queue" bug exploit.
                              d) Settling on top of a farm or mine.
