  • Building harbors in cities with few ocean squares

    I believe that it is often useful to build a harbor in a city with only one or two ocean squares. I wonder if others would agree.

    The typical situation (in midgame) is a city that has stagnated or has extremely slow growth. Perhaps you have maximized production, or there was just no conventient way to expand the city. The one or two extra food that the harbor provides can be just what you need to get it growing again.

    If production was good, it won't take long to build the harbor, and the maintenance cost is only 1.

      Good question, I have to admit that I always do. This begs the next question, do you do the same with an Offshore Platform?

        I like the har harbor I always build it. I usually am to busy building cravans to build the platform.

          Miner..... it is too costly with only one or two ocean squuares unless building it will make my city over a certain level in production.... then i might.... its 4gold i think and that could be spent somewhere else

            I am an irrational perfectionist so I always build the Offshore Platform (just as well I don't play MP!)
