Players should NOT be allowed to build cities on mountains
No cities are built right on top of mountain peaks. Cities in mountainous regions are built in valleys - even Katmandu.
So why should people be able to do this in Civ III?

So if you can't build on a city on the mountain how could you move on it? Would you have to have rock climbing units? What you have to understand is that the mountain tile doesn't just represent one mountain, it represents multiple mountains. Meaning that there would be pathways between the mountains. The city is built on the pathways not the actual mountain and the units move between the pathways.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment

It's a bloody big mountain range, so a city can be built anywhere in there, not just on the top of the highest peak.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

There's no need to add extra rules when the disincentive to establishing a mountain city is its growth potential.To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.

Perhaps we could come up with a list of pre done topics and ming could set up another area to redue them. Like Civ3 suggestions in review.Originally posted by rah

Again, in Civ 2, with a huge map supposedly representing an earth sized planet the tiles are about 200 miles across, so a mountain tile represents highly folded terrain with all its peaks and valleys. The question that might be asked is what sort of mountains are represented by the mountain terrain in Civ. Does it only represent the most rugged terrain like the Andes or the major chains defining the Himalayan area? Does it also represent the lesser mountains like the Appalachains and the Balkan ranges, or would these be more appropriately represented by hills? There are areas in China that are very rugged yet have a population density to rival that of europe's most densely populated urban areas. In fact I've often thought that there should have been an allowance to allow irrigation of mountains. Then again maybe Civ needs two types of mountains."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

When a tile contains mountain terrain, I don't just think of it in terms of its altitude; I think it also has a lot to do with the quality of the terrain, i.e.: is the ground dirt, or is it rocks?12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

brown mountian to signify soil terrain
silver mountains to signify rock terrain
black mountians to signify valcanic terrian
and red mountians to signify lots of rose bushes
