City number 2 - where O where?

I'm not so sure that new #2 is FP from the map alone.
Would be easy to tell from within the game. As an Agricutural civ, we don't want to establish a city in the desert under despotism one tile from the extra food bonus.

In any case, #1 is an excelent spot looking at the known screen shot, and voting it.

Warrior needs sent south to explore more surronding terriagn for #2A and #2B, particularly to discover the ocean.

There are possible ocean locations that would result in #2A and/or #2B being absolutely horrid.

OK, sounds like a new poll will be needed after I play the turnchat and have more info on that area.

I intend to have city 2 up by the end of the weekend though (turnchat 2 gets us to settler, poll for about 2 days gets us the placement, I don;t need to schedule a time for a turnchat just for the 1-2 turns needed to build a city and get the Feudal side of things going).

The real Citysite # 3 IS a floodplain tile, I looked it up in the save before I suggested it originally. It has the advantage or Forested river tiles that give us shields, food, and commerce UNDEVELOPED right off the bat even before the cultural area expands.

Assuming we found cities closer to the capital later it gives that city a chance to get a head start on building before it gets moved farther down the city pecking order.

What about one tile NW of the warrior in GF's pic. That would give us access to both Oasis' tiles.

OF the two though, I like option #2 better.

I have no doubts that we will evenually build a city to give us access to the other Oasis.

Were better off spreading the wealth (Oasis) among multiple cities.

Well maybe we are, but I don't think you can say that with complete confidence until we know more of the surrounding area......likewise, I cannot say putting both Oasis' in the same city would be the best thing until we know the lay of the land more completely....

but in the interest of getting out a 2nd city asap, I would be in favor of the 2nd spot, which is favoured by most people here anyways......
