Where to build our 3rd Viking City?

Thanks.

Might I sugest for future screenshots that "fog-of-war" darkening be turned off? (Or else the entire picture brightened up?)

Another screenshot request, could you put the grid when taking the picture please?

[Makahlua]

Like this?

[ormuzd]

wow!
relly good work...

I guess it was done using a mod and Ctrl+Shift+N

[Paddy]

Great pic, thanks...

I hope that we stay to the 4.5 plan...

[MrWhereItsAt]

Very nice pic. What IS that mod anyway? I really need to find it.

[Makahlua]

sn00py's terrain mod - i had to manually install it on my Civ3 vanilla ages ago, so all my games even in ptw use it unless I use a bix I love the definition in the continental shelf, and being able to tell jungle from forest I can't remeber off the top of my head if it's the regular or greener version tho.

Looks like I'm not gonna win this vote!!!

Ok, 4.5 plan it is

[joncnunn]

Hum, I'm thinking we have two choices:
Directions are from the capital.

If we're not worried about losing the fish (or plan to use it from a city in the northern landmass), we should have the 3rd city at W-W-NW-NW.

If on the other hand, we want to have both the fish & whale in use on our starting landmass (which would lose the shield), then the 3rd city should be at W-NW-NW-NW and the 4th city at W-W-W-SW.

joncnumm, both cities are distance 5

I liked this outline as layed out in another thread:

[joncnunn]

Yes, but I think the bonus resources justify a departure from the 4.5 guideline to 5 in those two instances. (Particaly the whale, which is located in a tile that can only be used from our starting landmass)

Are we computer programs that competely ignores the realtive values of tiles or humans?

That screen shot is somewhat obsolete; it was taken prior to us seeing the whale.

Succinct. That would be the best place for it. As a UOA member I'd agree. Vowels and Violence.

Don't tell the other UOA members, but we need to build up some military and find out whether or not we have a land bridge to Spain before making war on them so my sensible side says wait.
