Paradise City

[Lancer]

Do you have a city that stands out in your memory as, well, your most outstanding city? I'm not talking about something made by the hand of man, I'm talking about that perfect spot, generated by the random map generator, occupied by some o your boys, and turned into a true Rome. That's what I'm talking about...a most memorable city. Mine had gold, two rivers loaded with shields, coal and other hills, abundant shields and trade. It generated enough of both to be the ultimate science city. The shields built the sci improvements, caravans, the trade made them super powerful. This one city thrust me into the fore among civilizations, I never had to worry about meeting a superior technology it generated sci so fast...

Well enough about my perfect city, what was yours?

Hmmm...London on the Europe map. In bombing range of Stlh. Bombers, nukes and coastal bombardments. Little resources, little trade, not much food...a real El Dorado...

My current capital in ToT is maybe my best ever:

Avernath
Size = 32
Pyramids
Mike's
Magellan's
Shakespeare's
Leonardo
Bach
Isaac Newton
Darwin's
Women's
Hoover
UN
Apollo
SETI
Cure for Cancer

Note that all of my wonders are in one city, I tend to not farm them out.

Hmm.... Sounds like a good nuke target to me.........

[My Wife Hates CIV]

My best science city... 590 beakers. Of course this depends on trade routes, government type, science setting, improvements, wonders... but it was the best I've ever had.

[Geography Dan]

I remember when I was playing civ2 on my old macintosh, this must have been over a year ago. I had a huge city, Kansas City, that was size 30, had about 10 wonders, and was producing insanely high amounts of science and money.

I just had an OCC city producing 1632 beakers per turn and 87 sheilds.Sheild count is normal but thats the highest beaker count I have ever had in 1 city.

Awful hard to take. Against the AI, there's ZERO chance of losing it...against another human, that's another story. But I have an enormous lead in technology etc. from that city, so...

[Lancer]

CD, that sounds like a real drag...

MWHC, I'll have to make a note of my beaker totals from here on out. Thanks for the target...590

SilverDragon, still, Venger's got himslelf one heck of a city there. Venger, lose that city and what do you have left to fight back?

I had an OCC city, and In 1800 or so it was size 28, with all the extra citizens turned to einsteins. 80% science along with the collossus (I discovered flight soon after), newtons and copernicus', I had 834 beakers per turn. I'm thinking of using the map editor and setting myself an ideal situation and turning it as high as I can

[My Wife Hates CIV]

1632 beakers?! really???? I'd like to see that. Those must have been some GREAT trade routes. Even with science maxed at %100 in democracy thats still sounds higher than possible.

[Smash]

it was OCC fortnight#9 available for download in the OCC9 discussion thread over in strategy forum.

It had 2 wheat(which became silk) whale,wine on a nice river.Collosus.Cope's,Sir Ike's and Shake's gets the high numbers.

after superhighway and before Flight trade routes were +28

size 26 with 100% science and 5 scientists.Coulda been higher as there was food for a few more citizens.

[Xuenay]

I usually have all the wonders crammed in one city...

But then, thats on Chieftain, so...

[Jurgen de Jong]

My larges city so far is 41 (8,700,000 inhabitants or something like that), the largest production rate I reached was 101.
The science rate of into 1600 beakers sounds unbelievable! Can't imagine how to reach that.

[Scouse Gits]

Not that Smash needs the support, but he is a lonesome voice here - Yes 1600 beakers is very good, but not truly exceptional in OCC terms. Don't forget that when playing OCC science is EVERYTHING and every possible nuance of the game that leads to more beakers is exploited. Several of us have now enjoyed a tech advance a turn from our single city without the support of new trade routes to boost the earnings (of course we have all three trade routes in place as early as possible - in a recent game I was raking in 80 arrows/turn from each of my three trade routes - now that was awesome)
Good civin'
