Turn 57: 1760BC

Well, it then will be unable to work the wine later, which gives a good income (+5 gold IIRC), and that wheat spot will get busy after some time anyway as city #1 will use it.

A poll could be useful tho.

[Lacero]

Also make it harder to get to the fish, and we don't seem to have any others. I prefer leaving it where it is.

city 1 will need the wheat to grow enough to use lots of coast tiles and generate commerce.

[Senethro]

I'm just thinking of turn advantage. With the fish and wheat #1 would be a decent Fishing village/specialist town. Its not going to be needing land tiles very much anyway, meaning that our 3rd city sharing with it will be less troublesome than sharing with Beijing.

Theres no reason why our 3rd city can't stop using the wheat after its grown to something good like size 8.

[binTravkin]

Well, if you speak about turn advantage we wont be able to improve the wheat for quite some time (at least 15 turns) due to our limited worker capacity.

[binTravkin]

And actually, that northern city has very little good land tiles as is - it could use at least a few to actually produce a building or two.

[N35t0r]

The north city is a good place for a GP pump, IMHO, with fish and wheat...

Getting water all the way over there could be tricky, though.

I vote for current site #2 just north of cow, the over lap with Beging is trivial and this makes best use of the avalible land.

I think present #2 (just north of cow) is a good place.
The all: #1,2,3 look ok for me at the moment.
#6 too
#4 and 5, I would try to move them a bit, I think we can fit a third city using more sea tiles.
And we can fit coastal city for the wine west of Beijing at later time.

[Senethro]

Theres no need to spam the continent up with mediocre cities, it would be preferable to form a stable border with Gathering Storm first. There looks to be good land south of Banana.

expanding our line or sight means no barbs that can backstab us

[binTravkin]

I agree with Senethro, was thinking that we shouldn't found much more on our side of continent, after hooking up iron, only the #1, #6 and #5, to hook up marble.

[Mart]

Yes, some cities will be there maybe after Biology (farm +1 food) for faster growth and fast benefits. We may have just reserved places for them to possibly build them later.

[Senethro]

Can we get a further zoomed out picture? I feel uneasy about city sites #5 and #6 and think that at least one of them should maybe be moved a little east.

[N35t0r]

As it is, both tassagrad and city 6 can grow to size 15 without much trouble.

Also, we will be able to share the cows and mines on the plains hills between them early on.
