Should we disband Pressburg?

[Pedrunn]

Pressburg is a size one city, with no buildings in it and its queue will start from scratch (hop in 8 turns)!

But there are some problem i dont like about it! It is too close from H Town and the conquest distress is too high! It will probably give problems for H Town growth in the futures. Not to mention that it will give us problem to control the Conquest distress (it requres all of our units now ) that will last some turns yet. This will gives us more freedom to release our units to defense/attack)
we could move it to at least one square to the north-west or to a place closer to Pedrunnia (capital)?
The only problem is the loss of three farms at east but will be helpfull when it or H Town grows.

I also have my dout if we should or not specially because of the farmers. But the farmers are the only reason not to do so! We sure could find a better place, will assure the growth of the second radius of H Town, have our units free to control the war distress and defend H Town, etc...

So what do you guys say?

[MrBaggins]

I'd say keep it. The loss to H Town is minimal. The extra production capacity is very worthwhile, and its also one of the best settling spots we have available right now.

keep it - it'll grow quickly

btw, what's the point of this poll? since it's unofficial it's not allowed to have any effect on the game...

[Locutus]

No of course not!! Did you see all those farms? Combined with the hills it has the potential of becoming one of our most important cities. A pity it's so close to H Town though, they will indeed get in each other's way in the future...

Information gathering, maybe, before thinking about polling......

I don't like the position either, but if thinking of disbanding a city I would go more for H Town, as this is the one, not placed well.

And in the moment we need all cities possible..........

[Pedrunn]

Public hearing, information gathering and actually know if it is a good idea to start a resolution poll

And loose the river and the good not to metnion the farms and the fact that it is a size 5 city. Are you insane!!!!!

Pressburg is a city that does not give nothing more than a newly created city. Nothing at all if we exclude the farms. Thats why i want to move it to a better place. Sice we wont loose nothing so it really is moving not disbanding! Specially if we find a good in the unexplored area north to it!

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

well, it seems to be better placed than h-town, but we wouldn't loose anything if disbanding it. h-town in contrast could only be disbanded without poplosses, if it is destined to breed at least 5 settler before getting disbanded, probably many more. and though i would like a few settlers for the south, that would be much too much

[Gilgamensch]

The farms are used by P-town, the only advantage of H-town in the moment is the river, correct. But as it is unlikly we gonna move any of it (H-town to big, P-Town to well placed), I think for the moment we have to live with it.........

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

well, it isn't a decision for a moment, either we move one of the cities soon, or never, since later there will be much more populace and some valuable buildings

I agree with Zaphod. It is now or never!

[Gilgamensch]

Yes and no, we could always use one of the towns as a settler-factory........

The problem is:

The better city is P-Town (more growth, with mines far more production).

H-Town is in the moment the BIGGER city, has more commerce, otherwise average.

If one of them would have been absolute 'whatever', it would have been easier to decide.........

Keep it. We can bump food rations up one notch which will give us better happiness. Both H town(trade good+river) and Pressburg(farms+mountains) will be/are worth keeping and defending - we will have enough units in both soon enough.

won't pressburg's territory eventually fall within H Town's radius anyways? shouldn't we disband it?

well, the line of hills, which will make for good production won't, but of course those hills could be used by another town yet to be founded a bit more to the north.

if u have to have a city around there, at least disband Pressburg and rebuild elsewhere, please
