It oughtta generate culture for Vikings.

I vote for MrWIA.

I feel like going along with the crowd, I vote for MWIA's proposal too.

[ormuzd]

voted other but to place the city N of the horses (one tile SW more from MrWIA). We will grab the horses and the cow as well the two wheat tiles.
Building the next city on location 1 will give us harbor to use the horses.

The thing with going one tile further SW is that we start off with both wheat and one forest in radius, whereas if we stayed at the ONE tile SW of the cows we start off with the cows, one wheat and a forest. This will give us more raw production to work with (albeit some will be lost to waste) AND the food bonus.

The wheat gives +2 food each (effectively +1 for Despotism), whereas the cow gives +2 food (effectively +1) AND +1 shield. Thus a cow and wheat start is better than 2 wheat start. Either spot will give us both wheat and the cow when the culture radius expands, but until then let's have the spot that gives us the +1 shield straight off. Sound OK, ormuzd?

Uuuhh... it's true what you say, MrWIA, but keep in mind that SaG can also use those cows.

hi ,

not to mention all the bonus grassland tiles that lay around , ....

that island leaves room for at least three cities so far , ......

the only thing we should invest in on a priority level is the protection of our foothold there , ....

have a nice day

[ormuzd]

My idea is that placing there the city the cow will be captured between two city borders. This way it will be into our territory and we will use it. And we will have access to horses while not loosing those tiles. As a drawback I can see that we need another city with harbor to use the horses.

Add one to "Other"

I'm thinking that the first Viking city on that island should be "Jean."

Next: SW of cow.

Third: #1.

It might not be the first, but it will be ours soon. .

I think it's safe to say that MWIA's proposal is what we'll be doing. We should be able to have MWIA's location settled in two turns, and placement 1 settled within about six turns or so. We can get a few workers ferried down there to begin tile improvement and some archers for the eventual takedown of Jaen. The southern continent IS ours after all, it just has squatters right now.

Works for me.

SW of the Cow is a very nice place.
