  • The same thing u were smoking on page 3

    • I would consider La Paz, Bolivia a city built on a mountain hex. Population 713,000 (1997) metro 1.2 million, elevation 3630 meters (11,910 feet). Administrative capital and largest city in that country.

      The city itself is actually in a valley, with a nearby plateau another 1400 feet up and nearby peaks extending over 20,000 feet. A third of the area of the country is above 10,000 ft. Over half of Bolivia's population lives at those heights. If you're looking for a nearby special square, add Lake Titicaca at 12,500 ft.

      In short, if I was designing a historic scenario, both La Paz and it's Incan predecessor Tiahuanaco would be in a mountain hex. No second choice comes close.

        • I still don't know why you're talking about hexes although the game deals with squares...

            • I just couldn't pass this up...

              This was just posted by AH in the MP thread section:

              "Actually, um, I build mountain cities - but don't tell anyone on the civ general forum "

                      • I'm so glad I won this argument, against so much opposition too

                        • IMHO, by making that snide remark, you just lost the argument.
                          main(i,_){for(!_||(--i,main(i+2,i["FHhhTBFHdhTBFBQT\2TBF&]zRF$hh*:FHhh+&FBIsbDF"]));
                          i&&_>1;printf("%s",_-70?_&1?"[]":" ":(_^=_,"\n")),_/=2);} /*- Mark -*/

                          • You're the one who made the snide remark Mark the nazi!

                            • Why are you referring to me as a Nazi?
