View Full Version : Sweetest spot for a city
LLXerxes Aug 24, 2004, 11:29 AM I was playing RoN, as France, huge map, blah blah blah...
I had many cities, and ws deciding where to put the next.
had the Terra Cotta army which was producing Musketmen every 30 seconds, and a miltary stronghold (forts, towers, barracks, stables, siege factories) in the middle of the map.
Then, I decided to build a secret city incase my others were taken.
I build ilitary improvements and everything there.
ANd it's hidden in the trees, where nobody has explored yet
Check it out!

What do you think? :goodjob:
-Gladiator- Aug 24, 2004, 05:04 PM Pretty nice placing :D , but you should increase your oil income, it's very low...how can you even manage with so low oil income?
LLXerxes Aug 24, 2004, 05:52 PM Pretty nice placing :D , but you should increase your oil income, it's very low...how can you even manage with so low oil income?
Actually, I just entered the industrial age (so I''m 1 age aead of everybody else :D) and have ony set up like, 2 oil wells. Plus, there's like, almost no oil in my territory, and attrition+everybody declaring war on me means I can't do it anywhere else (except for my ally the Bantu's land)
LLXerxes Oct 31, 2004, 04:38 PM any other oppinions?
Sargon of Agade Oct 31, 2004, 05:44 PM What color are the bantu? Red? And does White have an ally because they appear weak... And how are you going to get those military units out of there? Could you garrison them in the City and then get them out that way?

Bantu are indeed red. ANd white is Wu Di of the chinese ( I declared war on them once)
I remember gettting those troops out of tehre somehow cause I used that city as a city for pumping out units for my war vs the greeks

When I get into the industrial age, I have like +200. Still not bad placement.
But if you had a huge army why did you make that city incase the others were captured?
Gnarfflinger Jan 16, 2005, 11:10 PM Nice. Good luck finding you...
Fox Mccloud Jan 27, 2005, 03:41 PM Cool! It really does look like a cold map with the snow, but I was talking about the :cool: kind. Also looks crowded there. But, they take all your cities, or so they thought... :evil:
Ulrich.forever May 27, 2005, 07:34 PM Sweet spot. But really, why did you make that city if you had a fortress in the middle of the map with which you could attack anyone? It looks to me like you panicked for a millisecond, and the idea got stuck in you head. Still, I would have done the same thing.
JH4EVER Oct 18, 2005, 11:24 PM Nice Spot, Perfect Placeing...Enough Said.
Dreadnought Oct 19, 2005, 05:01 PM Pretty good
Fox Mccloud Oct 19, 2005, 08:30 PM Then, I decided to build a secret city incase my others were taken.
Don't worry about that. In my experiance they always send in only a few troops (out of a giant army) and can't get past your first castle. Then, when I send in my army (A real army) their cities are a SEA of Barrackses, factories, and auto plants!!!! They mass produce units, and kill me right away, and I can't destroy all their military buildings IT"S SOOO ANOYING!!!! It completely destroyes any chance of a good invasion before modern age when I have bomers, and they usually build AA. That's why I stick to playing scenarios and CTW. ;)
LLXerxes Oct 20, 2005, 06:34 PM Too bad you can't build walls in RON, I'd wall it off around there accept for a gate and build towers at the walls and in the clearences.

I just use towers for walls.
Prometheus1992 Oct 23, 2005, 06:41 PM :crazyeye: i just spam infantry waves on the enemy, its the best tactic :goodjob:
Tarkhan Jul 29, 2006, 09:47 PM I spam nukes until Armageddon hits. If I cant control the world, nobody can.
Winner372 Sep 02, 2006, 09:06 PM its an alright placing, try to get it near some rocks,mountain and someforest.
max1114 Sep 04, 2006, 06:54 AM bla bla bla, eny way you can not prove this...
Norseman2 Sep 04, 2006, 05:36 PM I spam nukes until Armageddon hits. If I cant control the world, nobody can.
Me and a friend were playing in a 4v4 match with 6 computers on tough. We had just started playing again, and things went badly. First, an ally was defeated, then the enemy started beating us back. We decided there was only one way to make them lose: armageddon. They nuked our cities, we nuked theirs, and just after they captured the first original city of mine, we ended the game in nuclear armageddon. It was a crazy battle.
Winner372 Sep 05, 2006, 09:02 PM I just use towers for walls.
yep same with me ;) i put maybe 5 towers near my city, and 2 forts or so, then i put lookouts on the outside so i can see the enemy comin.
