This is a map of proposed city sites from the Governor's Office. Also included are proposed roads. City site #1, when expanded will take in the gold and the spice. It will also extend our Nation to the SE. City site #2 will take in two furs without expanding. It will take some time to get a road out to the city and the city will have slow growth. City site #3 is basically a fill in city for our borders to the SW. This is not a crucial placement, but will secure the area, and keep the Japenese out.

Why go with option '2' if one tile south east will nab furs, game, and grassland?

Plexus, why go 1 tile SE when 1 tile South will get us what you listed PLUS cattle? Because 2 is only for the furs. It is not for cutting game out of Valhalla's borders. It not to grab the cattle. It is just for the Luxury of Furs.

But we won't have the furs until expansion, and culture going the way it is...

Sorry, Plexus. I was mostly being facetious. I don't see an advantage in either of the changes.

ok... kinda hard to know if someone is being sarcastic on the internet... :lol:

Cyc- please post this in the thread 40 started for this same reason.
Also- i agree with the road infastructure.

i would propose having one of the 2 threads closed. if we split our discussion here, we will (Again!) end in a discussion where some opinions will not be heard.
