OFFICAL: IE - Where Should We Build Our New Cities?

[Timeline]

People, Jonny, this is where our next city should go:

Spot 4......

(True, it's not on the river, but it gives us a nice grassland spot to work off of, which will make it useful quickly.)

[kring]

In that case, I change my answer to Spot 5, which is in between spot 1 and 4 on the coast. Spot 4 is to close to the capitol, and spot 5 would still give us the grassland tile.

Spot 5 would also allow us to build a city fairly quick once we do get a settler since it is close to a road. Finishing a road wouldn't take long either.

[notyoueither]

Timeline is correct. It is the only productive site.

It can share the grasslands with Apolyton until some jungle can be cleared.

[Harovan]

Yes. It is a good spot. It has always been.

[wervdon]

Id vote for spot 5 too

Then next just east of spot 2.

The reason I recommended spot 5 is you get more workable better land since the city auto clears that one jungle spot, and you get a bigger border since the game usually would add the extra space that close to the capitol. Also, you wouldn't infringe on the capitol super x as much there.

The other spot you mentioned is good too. Again you would clear a jungle space and keep a grassland space.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

Alright then. Spot 5, then one to the right of spot 2.

As for spot 3... I'd rather settle somewhere I can see.

[Timeline]

Yea, spot five is not bad kring, nice 1........

Just to play devils advocate here for a sec: The only thing I see wrong with spot five is that is is too close to the river, yet not on it. So it would mess up our city grid down the road if we wanted to settle on the river. (not a big deal but just pointing it out)

Ok here is what I now suggest as an alternative to spot 5.... spot 6.....

Trades the coast for the river, it still grabs the grassland tile with its border. It also fits in with a city grid much better.

[Harovan]

Spot 5 and 6 are mediocre and both give access to only 1 grassland, not even shielded.

If we do not get one more productive (at least 3 tiles to work) city very soon, this game is most likely already lost. There's nothing as bad as a bad game start. Take in account, that the settler is already delayed by the decision to build a worker in Apolyton.

The city should be built either southeast or east of 5.

This poll is invalid, or at least unofficial. You have not been elected Imperial Expansion Minister yet.

[civman2000]

He is acting as it to fill the role temporairly (see previous posts and code of laws). In any case, it is invalid anyway IMHO because of all the new options now emerging...it needs to be repolled with them

If 6 was uncovered better, I could consider voting 6, but I would want to know what is around it more.

you KNOW it's going to be more jungle.

[Inverse Icarus]

here, look.

Red tiles are jungles on the border of the unexplored area.

i have set it up so that the blue tiles ONLY color non-black pixels, so that you can see any hint of color / shapes in vibrant blue.

the blue reveals that many of these tiles will be jungle.

( man i sure am bored today, )
