I place a city where a city needs to be placed. Ideally, that is NOT overlapping another city's working radius. Unless I'm just trying to grab territory from the AI or get to a resource, then I don't mind overlap as much.

No, I'm saying that would be 1 tile AWAY, not 1 tile APART.Originally posted by JohnM2433
So by your system, a tile would be -1 tile apart from itself?
I guess you would say it's not apart from itself at all, but to me that sounds like 0 tiles apart. Then, in a logical progression, the tiles right next to a given tile are 1 tile apart from it, and so on. The "distance" given is from the center of one tile to another.
And really...I don't care what the standard is, as long as I know what it is.
Which is why I asked.
Still, 1 tile apart, IMO, would be City-Tile-City.
1 tile away would be...silly, but City-City.

Hehe, thanks again for the help, oh great gods of Apolyton.

That is why I love SMAC. This type of city placement would make sense for Yang, and would be strange for Deirdre... It lends a sense of adequacy to the game.I too find the "borg"/ICS a bit.... ....ugly and....
....repulsive to me

ducki,
I'm with you. I can't bear the borg/ICS style, and to me "four tiles apart" would mean city-1-2-3-4-city.
I no longer insist on 4-tile spacing (no overlap), and will often drop to 3, especially in the early going.
For instance, in my last game, my capitol had 5 (!) cows in its radius. 2 of those were out the very outskirts, and thus by building cities 3 tiles out (capitol-1-2-3-city), I was able to utilize a cow each in the new cities, leaving my capitol three others to use. It was an embarrassment of riches, and claiming all 5 of them for Thebes would have been silly.
But for the most part, my cities are built with little or no overlap.
