3rd City Location

[BigFurryMonster]

We decided to build our 2nd city on the red square. In the 'future city sites' thread, I posted:

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.

So - which city will it be?

The green square. It's in the direction we want to REX (we can always backfill later), it's easier for the worker to get to form our second city site, and it will make it easier to reinforce our 2nd city.

I voted blue square, mainly to get that wheat online, though I understand (and now agree with) the arguments for green square...

If the situation remains consistant (i.e. we don't find anyone to our east), then I say go with the green square... it's the direction we need to go and all of those bonus grassland squares are very attractive...
