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

[notyoueither]

We have room for 2 productive ancient cities.

1 on site 4, and another 3 tiles straight NE. Each city would have 2 tiles of the Apolyton plains that could be mined. 1 or both should be used if we opt for the early war strat.

BTW. As a matter of principle, it is best to have the discussion thread prior to the poll. It's kind of hard to go back and change the poll if better ideas come up in the course of discussion.

I wish to thank everyone here for giving their ideas. They will absolutely be considered when building a new city.

This is a very good plan.

correct me if im wrong, but this is what i'm picturing.

and it looks good to me.

the way i see it, after the french war, the cities could be used as "worker farms", using one grassland or so to pump out a worker every so often.

and in the long run, we could even disband them and add them to thebes to make up for lost time.

UberKrux is correct. Each city gets 2 mined grassland tiles. That's good for 3-4 shields per turn, without corruption. But the workers will have to stop to improve Thebes as soon as the first settler is built. By this time, they can be ready with jungle clearing. then Thebes can build a worker itself for further improvement.

EDIT: The right of these cities could even been built 1 tile more SE. It would even have access to 3 productive tiles then.

i dont know why i'm so vocal in the IE post, but things seem to be getting done and i dont mind helping a bit.

this is sir ralph's current plan and overlays of tiles for immediate benefit for the two.

i think its the best so far.

since apolyton has it's fish and whale, it wont need all those grasslands for a while.

we'll use the river soon enough, dont worry friend.

the problem right now is that we need cities to produce war units NOW, not in 50 turns.

after we secure our empire, we may even disband cities. we'll see.
