It would be more efficient to put our capitol in the French conquests, as our empire will likely build up around them.

Before we decide that, we need to know more of the island/continent/whatever we are located on actually is. The lay of the land. That way we can figure out if moving the Palace there is good idea or not. Ideally, we want it centrally located to provide maximum benefit.

hi ,

, true , and we could shape the nation a bit , we have the palace and the forbidden palace , so that should be like two cirkels , ....

have a nice day

Exactly, the best way to do it, as long the terrain allows it.

hi ,

terrain there shall be , that shall not be the problem , the main concern for now shall be to build with what we have , and to make the best from it , ....

to explore now is a must !

have a nice day

By terrain, I meant the shape of the terrain, as opposed to the type of terrain. I apologize for not making myself clearer. The layout of the island/continent/whatever. Some map layouts lend themselves poorly to the 2 circle plan; others work great.

Actually, once we have most of the continent, we should put our palace near one end and the forbidden palace near the other.

hi ,

, not in extremes here , there is no point for now to put it near the water , .....

have a nice day

[Kuciwalker]

I said near one end, not at one end.

That may not be the optimal placement for them though.

It is better to put them about 1/4 in from either end of your empire. Allowing variables for shape of the continent, terrain, etc. It is best to have them where they are clustered by fairly productive cities when possible. Sometimes, even on different continents also. We need to know more of the map before we go recklessly advocating placing them here or there.

I agree with the forming consensus that more exploration is needed before fixing a location for our capitol move. In terms of focusing exploration and massing for war, though, it seems clear to me that we need to concentrate on the vicinity of Paris. Some juicy looking land there: enough grasslands to grow population and seed culture; gold; mountains (good for initial defensive lines, and for resources); jungle close by but not too close (remember, eventually we will want to be close to rubber supplies) .... I am becoming convinced we need to take on France, as soon as we can prepare our army -- before they have a chance to consolidate this ground in the form of a formidable civilization. We need this territory -- and we can't afford to coexist so closely with an opponent that has it. We need to strike while they are still in REX mode.

What are the possibilities of pop-rushing for the war effort with the third citizen? (I don't know - I NEVER pop-rush).

[jdd2007]

it might be better to make a settler or worker than pop-rushing...

[MrWhereItsAt]

Agreed, but that takes some time to build, whereas a pop-rush reduces the time to build something - that was the main idea I had in mind.

hi ,

understood , it was that banana drink , ......

sounds good ,

but lets say that we find a place that is really nice , big open terrain , and we put one of the two there , and the other one whereever we need it

anyway , as for now we shall have to wait , so we can see what the world is like , ....

have a nice day
