Latest Maps of UberIsle

[GodKing]

For the first city, these are the first two build items
- grainery (to be purchased when possible - hopefully just before the first growth to minimize the $ amount)
- worker (as we should have a size 2 city when we start, just put 1 shield into and then purchase)

After that, it depends more on what we need. Defence, settlers, port, etc.

Wow. Awsome!

I say that we move up our building capacity on the main land and have several cities produce units and settlers for the Island -- it's risky, but we need to expand fast.

I'll leave the specific details to the experts, however.

Uber Island looks great but I don't think we should divert resourses from the war in Persia. Uber Island should colinize its self.

[adaMada]

My post was before the idea of a war on Persia was brought to my attention as a serious issue.

Now I consider it a compromise -- we'll probably either do one or the other.

I'll probably post some of my thoughts on that issue in one of the threads shortly...

Please discuss city placement here

[disorganizer]

I think you should propably try to take this island as soon as possible, before the other nations get to notice and settle it. This will only lead to a future 2-front war if shared with someone else.
So i would propose giving 2 more settlers out to the isle + 2 spearmen + 2 workers. After that, maybe a harbor rush in one city + urgent road building to keep people happy.
If all that is finished, the island could be left for itself without mainland support.

I have been totally out of the loop due to just going to school, but it seems to me that i'd place a city SW and NN of the condition. Placing one city in the middle of that is a waste, unless you are looking for a producer city.

Yeah - we can't forget the Barb explostion in about 500 years (about 450 AD - Stupid Roman Empire).

The barb explosion happens when 2 civs advance to a new era, according to Firaxis. When is that likely to be?

[OPD]

That shouldn't be for a long time now as most civs have only just entered the medieval age.

Should we risk another galley and send reinforces to Uber Isle?

Ideas for other Uber sites

(Maybe we can call the colony Whales or Wales? )

[Shiber]

IMHO the orange sites are much better.
It's a good thing you highlighted both sites in the image.

The orange ones are my first choice as well, although the others are options depending on what is found in the uncharted areas.

EDIT:I'm codenaming them "Orange Peel" and "Green Banana." Why? Because I'm bored........
