City Site Possibility near Napoleton

[Donal Graeme]

I have examined the map and found that there is a possible city site near Napoleton, approximately 4 tiles to the north-east, and then one to the north-west. It is directly on a hill, with access to two grassland squares, and one forest squar on a grassland. It is outside German influence, has room to grow thanks to Grasslands, has acess to minerals thanks to the abundant hills and mountains, and would give us access to the large inland sea that is currenty controlled by the English. I don't know if this large body of water has a name, but if it doesn't, I would like for it to be called: The Graemillian Sea. This new City, which goes without a name for now, would give us acces to the Graemillian Sea, Access to the closest English Cities, and most importantly, put us only two tiles away from the German capital of Berlin.

I wouldn't mind going for it. If we can open up trade with England, maybe we can get money for more techs. We would also like a friendly England to counter Persia and Germany.

I see the location, but so close to high culture Berlin? It's asking for a culture flip.

[Donal Graeme]

No, the cultural barriers of Berlin will not push against the city for a long time, until it reaches a very large cultural threshold, i think 1000. So we will have plenty of time to build a tempe and another cultural building.

Good site.

That site, once it expands culturally, could even challange the German iron that's N, N of Napoleton.

[rendelnep]

sounds good but to who's province will it go to?

[Shiber]

How about the site N NE NE of Napoleton? It can take Germany's iron tile immediately and maybe even push against Norwick if necessary (though I must admit I'm not very enthusiastic about the idea of sharing a border with England. You know how touchy those expansionists are when someone tries to block their expansion).

[Shiber]

Oh wait, Germany has another iron tile west of Heidelburg. Scratch that.

Edit: this just isn't my day. So far I've made false assumptions, wrong quotes and spoken too soon. Somebody shoot me.

Well spotted, the site 4x NE, NW of Napoleton is now called city 1 (for the time being!!).

Edit: got location wrong!!!

[Vlad Antlerkov]

I like it. Gives us a port on that inland sea (and access to the English, once we build a harbor). Also gives us a defensible city on Berlin's doorstep (very nice).

Just put in defenders (what we have left of the swordsmen from the French war), a temple (so it will be harder to flip), and bang!

And if their other iron runs out...

[Reddawg]

I agree that it's a good site, mainly because it's only a matter of time before Germany or England grabs for that area, and because it's our last chance to build a seaport of our own on that medium-sized lake.

It's always good to push out around all the core-cities, of which Napoleton may become one. It'd definitely become part of Region 3.

[GodKing]

It would go into provence 3.

Before we settle there, I would recomend blocking off the persians who are trying to get the land near your areas 2a & 2b. Thay IMO have higher priority.

[Reddawg]

ok, i can't stand it anymore... WHAT IS "IMHO"! I see ppl saying that everywhere, not just on Apolyton boards.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

IMHO= In my Humble Opinion.
