Darth Tribble
Friendly Neighborhood Conqueror
On my current game, I am Askia.
I built my first city along a river in the desert. I tend to build where I start. Along the way, I discover El Dorado, so I place a city next to it. I still lacked a coastal city so I captured the CS Helsinki since there was not any good places to build a new city on the coast.
That was my empire for awhile and then I DOW'd Darius to go for the domination win. After two wars (the first time I accepted a peace treaty since he made a deal too good to refuse) I captured Persepolis.
The only Persian city left as far I can tell, is Pasargdae which is sandwiched between two of my cities. Since domination is my goal, should I bother with taking it? I can steamroll right over it and end Persia. If I take it, should I raze or puppet it and give it to whoever gives me the best deal?
I think Persepolis is coastal city. I might annex it and make that my naval base, but give Helsinki away since I also annexed it and I do now need to annexed coastal cities.
Also, Helsinki is a good place for a denfensive stronghold. It is surrounded by hills, two mountains and I could easily cut off enemy access to it.
What should I do from here?
