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

[notyoueither]

I agree with Sir Ralph's variant of what I proposed. Uber's pic with the white dots has it right.

City Blue is good filler between Red and Thebes.

A future city could be placed 3 straight NW of Blue, to get the benefit of the far side of the river, depending on other undiscovered terrain, of course. Blue could stick around indefinitely as a smaller burb. Or not, doesn't matter at the moment.

Uber. The reason why I'm glad you are paying attention here is that every move we make and every other thing we do must contribute to the war effort. We have no room for wasted effort.

This looks like a very good plan.

After consideration, Sir Ralph's plan seems like a very good idea to me. People have made good arguments supporting it and it seems like many people like it. It seems better than my ideas, I just didn't consider those spots because I usually don't build cities so close together. This plan allows us to maximize our usage of our grasslands and reduce corruption because they are so close to the capital.

I will most likely build cities in those spots, if elected IE minister, that is.

As there is probably a lot of time befor the next city, and I am guessing that it is more likely to come from a goodie hut than anything else, I say build out as far away as possible to help expand our borders beyond the jungle.

Sir Ralph's plan seems to be the best.

I agree with site #6 for the reasons Timeline mentions.
We also need to explore site #3. It's probably just jungle, but you never know. It could be jungle with resources, which would complete change our location decision.

We do need to see what is near site 3.

[GodKing]

Explore. Explore much more before a decision can be made. Not enough information at present. We are lucky in that we do still have some time.

That is one thing I do when I play, I explore, top priority of any excess military, and one of the main reasons I build extra military early. I send them on exploring missions; and I later I use them to garrison my cities and for other purposes.

Helps to find goody huts, other civs, resources, overall view of the map and the locale I am at, whether island, etc.
