Official: Where should we build our next few bases?

[Maniac]

Seeing that my previous attempt at pinning down some colonization locations was shot down, here's take two. This time I'm taking Lemmy's approach: lots of colours! Please select as many options as you want. In other words: multichoice, five days, though Saturday evening GMT the preliminary results will already be used for the turnchat.

Please have a look at the pictures in the next few posts.

I also have two extra questions:

What to do with the next CP from Zanarkand Gate?
a) send it to the SW Freshwater sea base location.
b) send it to the upper western base location.

What to do with the next CP from Mysidia?
a) send it to the SE Freshwater sea base location.
b) send it to the eastern base location.

Eastern base choices. Please don't flame me when an option is absent. I can't read your minds.

Next is the Southeastern Freshwater Sea base. Have a look at the options:

Now we've arrived at the Southwestern Freshwater Sea base:

And last but not least: one or two western bases. There are many variables possible here, so write-in when you have another base plan for these or any other base locations.

Excellent options, Maniac!

Random thoughts . . .

Eastern: yellow best utilizes river and food specials, and provides a route to the southern seas.

Fresh, SE: green gets the food and provides best use of freshwater coastal tiles (and no overlap with F, SW or Mysidia)

Fresh, SW: dk blue optimal spacing for use of rivers

Upper Western: red is a good halfway point and will help with good coverage of our territory

Lower Western: red gets the food boost right away, and is a little closer for connecting with roads.

catch my drift?

[Earwicker]

oops, missed the questions part . . .

1 - A
2 - B

Those are both very promising areas for settlement, and will have the best immediate effect on expanding our borders.

The questions: A, B
