Settler Situation

[Jon Shafer]

GoW has a settler just to the north of us. What should we do?

edit: agreeing with BFM. (...should never post when half-awake...)

What do you mean by 'here'? On this very tile, or on the tile we planned?

I say: move to the tile that was planned, and if they do not build a city now, we do it.

EDIT: If they do build their city, we move one tile away (to the western bonus grass tile) and build our city there. This way, we'll have better land.

I'm with BFM.

[Jon Shafer]

I went ahead and moved him north.

we already built improvements. If they snap back tell them that

Interesting point, calc...we could leverage our mine as a claim to the local area....

Trip just informed me the that GoW has founded city on hill. I think going for the cattle now is not practical. I say move to either SE or E of mine. Moving to the West will give the city MORE corruption, little room to grow (boxed in by Regio and GoW city, and it closer proximity to GoW and farther from ours making it easier for them o attack if they chose). The only thing that would tell me to go W is if we intend on cramming our cities together and pumping out horses in the near future.

Let's grab at least one cattle tile. We cannot afford an unblocked high-growth GoW city there.
