Settling Location

[Dinner]

I vote for any where on top of the river.

[Devil of Truth]

Don’t know if it’s just me, but doesn’t the phrase "Bob invades Vienna" sound suspiciously like something from Monty Python.

Who’s next? Buddy? Jim-boy?

Dave should continue his quest to go where no man has gone before (preferably to the west). I think Bob should go have a look at what’s on the other side of our capital. We may need to expand that way.

Send the settler to the potato. That way we can create our greatest invention ever... chips!

Does anyone have great objections to the river tile just south of the potato? Because if - we need a poll, otherwise Wise Ass or IW for that matter should just order it next chat.

The tile North of Dave seems better as the grasslands would give a better growth rate, this is why I think Dave should explore the land around him and check if there is not another german city too close from this tile.

I fear the land around the river tile will not allow the city to grow quickly enough.

I think, the potato makes up for the swamp because it gives a good food bonus - plus to get the settler to Dave we waist too many turns - the third or fourth city, yes.

And it's also easier to defend two cities that are close together!

[Tamerlin]

Your comments are wise mapfi, do the others agree?

[mapfi]

well - judges have to be wise - hehe

yes - i'd like to hear some more on this - i can't belive this doesn't find more interest

[HuangShang]

is there going to be a vote?

[Tamerlin]

mapfi thinks, and I agree with him, we could perhaps avoid to vote on this matter if we could reach a consensus (tell me if I am wrong mapfi ).

I am rather concerned by the fact the quorum has not been reached in several thread and this could slow down the game.

hm, seems i missed quite a bit in the last week.

i would prefer the spot north of the coal on the river, it will grow badly, but have enormous production, even more if we once later begin adding mines to the mountains, so it can be used for building wonders and to quickgrow reinforcements to be sent quickly north on the river. and it will perfectly fit in with our established borders.

the potato area should be explored by dave moving west further and then maybe somewhere around the potato city #3 could be placed.

but since i seem to be the only one thinking this way a poll might be obsolete

[Gilgamensch]

Sorry gents..........

We need a poll to decide upon.

Even if no-one objects, we still need a poll, otherwise whoever doesn't like the 'decision' could go to court and make a call against it.

[child of Thor]

I think that as we may be in conflict soon(for the future survival of our small nation), then closer is better. It will be easier to defend our cities.
Just south of the spud looks fine, then our next one near the coal and near the grape later would be good.
What more could our people need - Chips and wine and a roaring coal fire

[mapfi]

No Gilg, settling is not something that must be polled (unlike war e.g.) - but I'd prefer a vote too.

As for the coal site - it's a good one as well but growing will be slow there. I think we should use the growth of a city by the potato to build another settler and then settle there.

[HuangShang]

im w/ mapfi
so we are going to vote on it?

[Gilgamensch]

Mapfi,

you are right, I was a bit too quick glancing over the connie.....just wanted to avoid problems......

For the rest, we need GROWTH (Vel has it explained quite nice in one of his thread's).
