Our 1640AD Map

[cavebear]

First, let me say that my delays in getting these posted were unavoidable. Matters of State intruded.

To wit: The semi-annual migration of the Presidential Mum and Dad has been completed and those two Honorable Ancient Ones have departed along their traditional pursuit of Endlessl Nice Weather. They were entertained in the Presidential House with delectable meals, respectful conversation, unusual books and long bouts of CNN (none of which, by the way, were provided at Public Apolyton expense)! Surprisingly, Number 1 Son even gained some Parental credit for having been elected your President. Wonders never cease!

It's hard for me to shrink graphics with my pathetic Paint program (suggestions for better programs hereby solicited), but here goes:

nice nice

thx for all those lovely screenshots

It's hard for me to shrink graphics with my pathetic Paint program (suggestions for better programs hereby solicited), but here goes:

some hints to help you out:

• When making the screenshots you probably use a keyboard, and all those little buttons have those strange signs on them...one you already figured out(it says Print Screen(or something like that)) Now take a look around and see if you find the X-button (you can recognise it because it's marked with a big X) and hit it when playing--> look what happens you just zoomed out...don't panic you can zoom in by hitting the button with this funny sign on it 'Z'.
• a tool good enough to do the cut/past work is just plain old MSpaint,simple as hell and good enough for the job(and if you use 2 windows you can automate it a little)

(sorry just could not help it )

Don't expect this every week. It won't change much.

Why not??I did

Can I make a couple of suggestions to the cityplanner?

First of all, 2 new city's on island 2 and the island north of it, you should never waste a whale.

The 2 islands north of phily look good also for naval bases.

The island south of island 3 same thing.

And a city out of Dortmund with gold and fish

As we are in commie now and going towards naval supriority we need as much of these bases as we can get.
And as we have no corruption anymore this will also benifit our trade and sience.

Just a thought.

We should fill all available space with cities, so that we can utilize all of our tiles to maximum effect.

I'm on Skywalker. I'm a total newbie to this form of game but the space seems to have been missused somewhat. It's 1640 now so it's starting to get late but that outpost Babar is close to a few good spots like the one down at the coast, left to the whale.... Are we building Engineers to get there?
