Should players be allowed to build cities on Mountain hexes?

[Alexander's Horse]

No, you just let em starve to death.

Perhaps that's true, but then how would you account for the french horn fanfare?

BTW, what are those things called that you always see pictures of the Swiss playing while up in the mountains? You know, those real long horns that rest one end on the ground?

I'm sorry to say that those horns the Swiss play are simply called "Alpine Horns". At least the name is accurate, unlike french horns which are neither french nor horns!

Practice makes perfect, you know.

Alexander Horse... are you able to close this thread.. are you able to not start new ones? I'm trying to learn about civ and spam is making me sick.

[The Mad Monk]

BeKind, AH starts new threads all the time--it's just that you need to be over in OT to see them.

If you don't like this thread, just ignore it, and you can be sure that it will ignore you.

Do you really consider this spam? You seem to have a different definition of the word than I do...

BTW, I just noticed your e-mail addy; do you work for the US Geological Survey, or does USGS stand for something else? Just curious...

[BeKind]

Yea, I work for USGS. In fact I am trying to send up a Civ II map to ACS that I made using USGS data.

[BeKind]

I don't know why AH is complaining about people building cities on mountains when he can be complaining about people building cities on mountain squares with a river running through it. (find me ONE city built on a mountain in the middle of a river that has more than 50,000 people in it.)

Maybe your handle is ironic, too. Are you really a horse? Anyway, I guess you have never seen a player build a city on a mountain square with a river in it (I have), otherwise you would have complained against that even more fiercly .

"Everyone?" Surely you don't mean women and children too?

At least slaves cannott vote, they are not people.

sorry, but the random map generator will NEVER put a river tile on a mountain tile. Only custom maps might have this.

[Alexander's Horse]

At last, agreement. I have never seen a river mountain hex. What's he been smoking?

*stops playing with horn*

Forgive me this post, but I've never seen a river through a mountain square. What's up with that?

*returns to horn*
