    Hurricane:

    I agree. Also, don't forget that distance is part of the corruption formula.

      Let's hope the next civ will draw some more things from SMAC then
      I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

          Hurricane's strategy is sound. Since you can't get over a population of 12 in the first 3/4 of a standard game, you should pack denser.

            I liked the convoy units in SMAC. It would really hurt when jets would sink my convoy ships bringing food to my cities.

              DEAR GOD, what a lot of philosophizing!!

              Let's answer the question.

              Jake, mine one of your tiles so that you achieve 'yellow' growth status, i.e., balanced at no growth and no starvation.
              The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.

                This is actually not a correct answer, since he has all squares railroaded. Mining an irrigated and railroaded tile will reduce the food by 2, not 1.

                To reduce the food by one, he can remove the railroad from an irrigated square, or plant forest on a mined grassland.

                But, IMHO a much better solution for future games is to pack the cities closer, as other has argued. Since you will have maximum 12 citizens for most of the important parts of the game, there is little reason to give each city much more than 12 squares each.

                  Limited city-size will also have the advantage of lower pollution in the late game as of the pollution are caused by city size.
