I would guess that it's not so much a single factor below as it is a combo of the three that results in that title being worked ASAP.

I'd highly recommend Blue 10.

Alright here's my take on it.

In the old MiniGame they fluctuated. Shields were a pretty steady price with Commerce and Food fluctuating wildly in value based on population of the cities in question.

However, we started well into the game when the Pops of cities were pretty well established and here we are starting from scratch so some tweaking may be in order.

Food is worth more the larger the city sizes. Commerce also.

Shield values are based on production and demand for building things from the players.

ALSO: since at this point we ditch the Despot and all decisions are done by the City Mayors who are chosen by the tile owners in that cities radius politics comes into play.

Futility is the capital and has an edge on good production and low corruption. It also has 20 tiles and 20 potential people voting on decisions (that means each tile owner has 5% of the vote).

The other two have109 and 8 tile owners currently. Potentially, you might be able to buy tiles in them later and maintain a strong percentage of that city's vote but your looking at around 10% of each cities vote if you own one of those tiles.

It might be interesting if people of a specific playstyle centered around a specific city so as to not bash heads with other playstyles. Part of the fun will be seeing how everyone works out their systems of making decisions.

I would say joe's right about Blue 10 being a good tile though.

Just a thought on the tile 'auction' versus choosing-

Has no one thought to make it a 'state' lottery? Put the tiles in a 'hat' and have the despot draw out the first run of tiles for the names on the list, keeping it completely random and fair.

Emmmmmmmm


We don't trust the Despot. He's a despot.


And I CERTAINLY don't trust UnOrthOdOx. How the heck is he supposed to tell the difference between a green tile, a red tile or a blue tile?

[Esoteric]

Very nice. The freedom goes straight to me head.
Guess I ought to get a bid in-

what a nice map, Spiffor. Very kind of you.

r3>b5>b7>r10>r13
To me it seems like useful land. Especially Red 3 as it is currently developed- is that even an available tile?

Well, since it looks like we're going to go ahead and pick tiles this way, here's my top 15 choices:

G1 > B6 > G6 > G4 > R3 > R7 > R17 > R5 > R18 > B10 > R8 > R6 > R16 > B3 > B4

[Aeson]

I wanted a Volcano! I don't care when I pick. I want G2 and no one else does. Sounds like a tall mountain if K2 is anything to go by. R2 sounds like a droid more than a mountain! So it's definitely not making the cut.

I don't think anyone else has even put G2 on their short list... (this is all just a ploy to get someone in the top 13 to claim G2 just to spite me... or is it? )

[conmcb25]

OK thanks Farb

I was looking at this last night and should make my decision today.

I need to take one more look at the save, thatnks for bearing with me.

[Ennet]

R7 > R3 > G1 > G4 > B10 > R5> B4 > B3 > B6 > G6 > B5 > B7 > R4 > R10 > R12 > R6 > R8 > R16

btw, does resources (like gems) give extra income? more than the tile bonus they produce that is..

[Tassadar500]

Can someone mark off all of the tiles used, so it's easier to pick in the future?

There's only been one tile used so far.

[Tassadar500]

What part of "in the future" don't you understand?

K I have finally made it through the maze and found this. I need to get someone to send me the save as I can't seem to access it. Also if someone could send me a link to the rules and where it says what is worth what that would be greatly appreciated. As soon as I get all three of those I will be posting what squares I would prefer. Thank you.
