and i a gree with you... on larger maps you want less corruption

**rah** · May 30, 2003, 13:26

For 4 man we go 39x49.
Even if it's full of corruption, once you're in monarchy, it can provide a good expansion base that would be time consuming to get settlers there from home.

And despite any corruption, it's still a beaker, and we know now important everyone is on the way to monarchy.

not too mention , the sooner you build it , the better your chances for another one are

**rah** · May 30, 2003, 13:39

Yes, I've delayed opening a hut for a turn or two, if I'm almost ready to settle a current nomad.

You get such a feeling of satisfaction when you delay that turn, and then get another one.

Who cares about corruption... a free city is a free city. And the farther away from my capital, the better. As stated, it gives you a chance to build a second empire quickly, instead of waiting forever to get a settler there from you starting location. Unlike Civ III where a far away city can't produce squat, even a corrupt city in Civ II can spit out settlers.

**War4ever** · May 30, 2003, 13:54

yup...plus it gives you a point in which yoru likely closer to your rival...there fore can build new cities accordingly

And makes your opponents think that they're wasting their time sending settlers that way. So you can sometimes settle the land inbetween at your leasure.

civ is about head games after all

**rah** · May 30, 2003, 17:15

Yeah, nothing like showing your opponent a chariot prior to 3500 in an area, he's likely to avoid it for awhile fearful of losing any units sent back there.

**War4ever** · May 30, 2003, 17:34

hehe....i love chariots...... , a horse doesn't have the same fear factor

**Ming** · May 30, 2003, 19:24

No... but it can discourage somebody from sending un escorted settlers in that direction

**War4ever** · May 30, 2003, 21:16

why yes it can........ and it does... many a time lol

**Ming** · May 31, 2003, 03:42

As stated... half the fun is convincing somebody they shouldn't come your way. You can fill in at your leasure while taking other land that is still in question.

**War4ever** · May 31, 2003, 18:41

with all the secrets out in the open you would think the jr. players would know what to do now
