In any case, SW shield tile on our side of river would be best for Mine or road...

Go with GF's plan, then build road there later.

I'm going with what I proposed.

A mined shielded grassland will produce the same number of shields as a forest or mined hill but with more food.

Glory city site rocks. Its just what I hoped for! On a hill by a river!

ALL PRAISE OUR GLORIOUS EMPEROR ON HIS CHOICE OF WHERE TO SETTLE!!

I think we defintely have a good position, much better than the endless jungle in the demogame.

Is there a way we can each load the sav?

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

Now have FOUR wine, TWO game, 1 fish, and four shielded grassland in our capital's radius.

We also have seven hills in addition to the one our capital is founded on to mine for production.

The yellow circles are prime camp sites for our next cities.

[Donegeal]

With our next cities being forts, right?

[Panzer32]

I like the site on the right the best. It guards the stash of wines the best.

Yes the yellow sites will build a barracks then nothing but troops, settlers, and workers.

They are only one space away form the capitol and will have virtually no corruption, just think of them as extensions of the capitol.


Once our cities can exceed size 12 we can dismantle them.

I would agree that the locale to the upper right is best. The one to the south would have a river in it and might exceed size 6 (I am not familier with this stragety, maybe I am wrong), and the city to the North West would be to inclined to use the fish which wouldn't produce any shields.

However, we should explore more before we decide (and get that GOODIE HUT!)

They won't exceed size 6, heck they probably won't exceed size 3 as they will be building settlers as much as possible and warriors/archers to kill time between settlers.

Wow, this is the youngest and LONGEST thread in our forum.

[UnOrthOdOx]

sweet starting location.

I agree with upper right as our next city site, followed by lower right (barring anythng exceptional within reach)

[Inverse Icarus]

this start will prove most habitable
