Official Ministry of Expansion Poll Uber Island

[joncnunn]

I voted for #2 because on Plan 2, the North East city (C)adjoins the lake and won't need an aqaduct unlike plan #1 (B)

In addition, plan number 1 E is one tile away from the ocean, which won't allow the habor of plan number 2 Es.

#1! It's much more efficient with the land and our resources

[joncnunn]

Panag, I understand what you mean.

I personally think that plan #2 could be perfected by shifting city F one tile NW to where it is on plan #1.

[E_T]

More cities means more trade, i.e. more Science & Lytons. With the closeness to Apolyton, Corruption/Waste wont be too bad. One of the ways that the Other Civ's get ahead in Techs is the fast expansion of there empires.

Make 7 cities!

[Aro]

Good point, E_T. Option two has only more two tiles shared than option one, and the gain in lytons (and shields) means more science.

#1 looks nice and square, but I voted #2 because all cities are costal (ie: harbor and Offshore platform) plus it eliminates the need for an aquaduct.

Sure it might take longer, but I think we have three settlers being built already. Bingo! Thats half being made already and I'm sure we'll have another three going before we realize it. AGC should be able to poop them out quickly now that it has a grainery.

Hmm, tough one, I think that we don't need any more coastal cities from a strategic point of view, however, seven cities will produce more science etc., than six, and we don't have to build an aqueduct and we can build all the improvements associated with being next to the sea, in the event of a naval war, it could become vital, so I say option 2.

P.S. As you may have noticed, I haven't and won’t be posting as much.

first used in our language , a bridge for water , aquaduct , ....

You're a very talented linguist aren't you?
It's aqueduct. The reason why it's not spelled aquaduct is due to a problem with pronounciation in the Greek accent, I believe (Hebrew has similar phenomenon, you must have learned about this in school).

1. You have a terrible sense of sarcasm. Take it easy! It wasn't meant to offend you.
2. The civilopedia says aqueduct, not aquaduct. So do the several dictionaries which I checked. They all had entries for aqueduct but none of them had an entry for the spelling aquaduct (except one, which had an entry which said 'see aqueduct' ).
3. It's possible that both spellings are accepted, but aqueduct is certainly the popular spelling.
To prove my point, a google.com search with the word aqueduct brings up ~131,000 results, whereas a search with the spelling aquaduct brings up ~10,200 results. Congratulations, you're part of the 7.786% of the population who spell aqueduct wrong.
