BC 3700 - 2950 (Worker, Build and Tile-Working Orders)

[Admiral PJ]

I think we should build a road with a guarded worker to the cattle area,
The wheat , game site looks even better to make a city, we could easily extend the current road northeast too.

We should use our powerful workers to best effect I think, its one of the few advantages we have.

I suggest we concentrate on mining grassland with shields too, like we've been doing, but roads for military / exploration are most important perhaps.

We may have an advantage over NDE if we find the iron locations first.

You're saying a few things:

a) build a road to the red square near the cattle;
b) build a road to the northeast to the wheat-and-cattle site;
c) mine grasslands;
d) build a road for military purposes;
e) build a road for exploration purposes;

In which order would you like to see these things be done? I think it is crucial to work the tiles around our 2nd city. If this is on the red square, we might want to send our worker there, possibly building a road. However - the NE area also looks good and is much closer to our capital.

After some thought...

The poll clearly established that we'll want to build the 2nd city in the cattle valley (on the 'red square'), for diplomatic reasons. However, it will be quite far from our capital. The worker will have to go all the way there, and build some improvements that will not help much, since corruption will be strong. It will then have to travel back to the 3rd city.

Therefore, it might be best to send the worker to build a road to the 3rd city location - either the green or the (new!) blue square in the picture below. If it's the green one, it'll also (roughly) build towards the 2nd city, which has military advantages.

I'll post a poll for the location of the 3rd city, so that we might decide which way to build a road to.
