Initial thoughts - with one RCP5 city, and one RCP4 - what is the way forward from here?
mr Tweed said:ok ive got the pic and wprked out how to upload it but i c theres no need now howeverm, and to tal the whole idea on rcp is 2 reduse corruption across the board, the differnece in corruption between a pcp5 city and an rcp4 city in miniscule een less with a courthouse and less again with a police staion, if we keep the inital ring all between rcp4 and rcp5 im sure we wont be able to spot the difference.

Gengis Khan said:Something else we could consider trying(just to warn you this is definitly unorthadox) we can found the red, green, purple, yellow in that order. Pump out workers from Leipzig. Since all the tiles we'll be improving there will be used by the red/yellow, once we have a good chunk of workers in the field we can abandon the city, making more room for those 2.
This has us throwing away 2 settlers, but will balance out short term gain(lots of workers) with long term(more room for our cities).
I don't really see any alternative to pumping warriors out of Hamburg & abandoning it when we're ready to found the purple.
I think we need to let Berlin grow just a little. Settler factories tend to do a little better long-term when they're size 4 or 5 when they start building a settler. You can get a settler or two out faster sacrificing growth, but we're probably looking at another 15-20 settlers. This landmass looks pretty big, even if there are a lot of mountains that deny us sites.qm1pooh said:Do we allow Berlin to grow into a settler factory, or just keep pumping them out and build the other cities?
Gengis Khan said:We're going to need to start planning a military factory, and GL-prebuild city next. I'm thinking the red city for the factory, with some of those plains irrigated it can get to decent size & have roughly 5spt or so. I'm thinking the green will make a good pre-build city, it has the wheat & a BG for growth and plenty of forests around for production.
Opinions? Or am I looking to far ahead?

I know we need to get some good cities up and running soon, but what do you all think about the spices south of Berlin? I would sure hate to see the Russians claim those, and they are right between Berlin and Moscow...

scoutsout said:I'm not ready to abandon Hamburg any time soon, but I don't want to invest anything in improvements if we should decide to abandon it eventually.
