Forbidden Palace Location

On topic, I agree with the suggestion that building the FP to the north is the way to go. Look at all that open land! Go settle it quickly, you can increase your production base by 50%!

In my current game, in a city with 31 shield per turn production, I'm told it will take 129 turns to complete a new palace. That's a cost of 4000 shields!

It changes a lot. Perhaps I should download the patch and play it again?
Btw, how do you play on huge maps? They are so HUGE In modern times it took so much time for single turn. I prefer standard maps, it took much lesser amount of time per turn and resources becomes more valuable, because on huge map you almost always could easily took any strategic resource, which needed. Without a shortcuts the game is less fun.

Really? Well, may be the upper cap is map size depending. My latest experiences come from standard maps. Didn't play on huge maps since long.

Well, for years I've had the habit of rarely playing civ games out thru the modern era. This latest game is only the second Civ3 game I've played past 1500ad... It does take a looong time for turns. I think I'm going to move to a smaller map after I play this one out.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I was thinking about the same but now, my thoughts were confirmed.

One thing I think you really need to do is to settle the area that's open right now. The civs on the other continent will if you don't.

That is exactly what I am doing right now. Just after the war with the Iroquois, i switched my productions to settlers and was able to cranck 4 within 3 turns.

I just got knights so I am now preparing a force to attack England. I'll expand first, put a few defensive units in my newly founded cities and build an invasion force with my core cities. I'm pretty anxious to see the results!
