Ah, one of those novice questions, eh? Perhaps, perhaps. Here's the situation:
Huge game; me as Carthage; just passing out of the ancient era.
My original intent was to expand east & west. Lovely ground. South were the Celts (expanding south) then two more civs below them. I remained on good terms w/ Brennus so I'd have a peaceful buffer state below me & others. Then I spotted the only available iron in Celtic lands and so took them out (Regicide is on). Now I'm expanding into the south, which is even Lovelier ground.
Problem: Forbidden City was placed in Oea, to the west, assuming continued westward expansion. Now I want it in the better, Celtic lands in the south, where my new cities are incredibly corrupt. Oea and its neighbors are very productive (it's where my military units are produced). Oea has several city improvements, and one GW (Hanging Gardens).
Possible solution: I sell off Oea's improvements, abandon it, and rebuild the FC in the south (I'm assuming I can). Then resettle Oea's tile later (good tile improvements around it). Sounds OK to me, but I lose the GW. So what do I do now?
My idea: Say I go slow--put one southern city to building a palace, then a well established northern city (near my capital) doing the same. Once both are very well along I abandon Oea, switch the southern palace project to the FC, and the northern to the GH. Then replace Oea later.
Sound good? Am I missing anything? Yer thoughts Most appreciated. --R
