With the 15 turns played, the game is fast. So if our president decides to play another 15 turns next time, maybe we should do the 3rd city poll to be prepared in case this city would come faster than we think. I reduced the choice this time, since I think it's less obvious than the first time. And I don't know others gamestyle and habits about the city, so those squares I chose are a bit random (but I would have built one my cities there). But I tried to place the cities in a way there wouldn't be more than 2 square shared between our 3rd city and one of the others. So here are the choices. Here again, if you want to place the city in another square that the ones I'm offering you, please choose the nearest point and specify the place with a keypad sequence. Good voting.

Edit : many have pointed out for the lack of good location on my map. Some choices were added by pggar on a new map at the bottom of the page. If you want to have one of those as your choice, please select other in the poll and then specify the letter in a post. Thanks

how about one step north east from the horseman?

Damn, I wanted to vote D, but I messed up with the buttons and I accidentally voted for the last option....:(

D isn't such a bad idea...

right there *points to map* thats as presice as I can get :)

jus kiddin, I like B best

On looking onto this map i think i see a coastline of another island in the South-West of the map.Has anyboty noticed that yet?
I think we should plan to start ship building.

Oops, didn't see this spot anime, you are right... I should have putted a choice there :o maybe it's not too late to change the pic...

well, of you look southwest of olympia and north of DuckPond, you might see ithmuses {very thin links from one continent to another, ex, panama, sainai/suez} in which case we should build military units and block them up. I'd rather settle the island before we build like crazy

I don't see anything southwest, but there sure is something east. And I agree with shipbuilding, maybe we should go to mapmaking someday, but I won't do something that is not my job.

i can´t see any land in the southwest nor in the north. can you put up some zoomed in pics?

I think our best options are E, F or G. Personally, I favor spot F. There you have the fish, the whale and lots of production tiles. I think that is the same spot anime has pointed out. Isn't it?

if I cant have B, I'll take F... it has costal access and access to all them perddy resoruses

Unfortunately, I am a member of the Anti-Navy Coalition of the United Fanatica, or the ANTIN (ant-in) {ANTI-Navy}. We prefer not to see sea units. We want only those: needed for transportation of ground units to other island, needed for defense, and needed for defense of ground units to be transported to other islands for attack. which, when I play, amounts to a single trireme, and Leo's maybe 2 or 3 boats if I am on an island.

I like F. I was actually just about to upload a pic with F ;)

I've Pmed Corn about my mistake and he seems to have left for tonight. Since TheDuckOfFlanders is going to play tomorrow, and that we may need the result of this poll at this moment, I've came up with another solution.

Ok, now to solve the problem, if you want to vote "F" on pggar map or any other on his map, please select other, and then specify in your post your choice. Thanks.

Oh ,about the neighbouring island ,i meant the south-east.

if i don't get enough vot's on wich particular tile of the "other's" can host a new city ,i will pick the spot.;)

And i will go by AnimePornstar's proposal ,that is F ,wich get's 5 vote's to 0 now.

"Other", a.k.a. Animepornstar's and Pggar's "F".

I'll sign up for "F" as well.

Well it has to be F really. It's got two good specials, some grassland shields and it can form a base for exploration to the east at a later stage. This is the ideal site for a port city, with only one sea square adjacent it means that we can benefit from the irrigation of the land tiles and still produce ships.

F.. We don;t need to spend 500 years getting the settler there

F is the obvious choice.

And Whiner, navel operations are the perview of the people and the Military advisor, and bare in mind that Triemes become Caravels, then Galleons, then Transports after Leo's is built, so no such unit is EVER wasted, and transports need protection, so ships can and will be constructed over time, your pet strategy not withstanding.

Definitely F. The squares near the swamp will be wasted, but later a city can be created there with some terrain improvement.
