President Thread- Term 2

Ok turn 2360BC

Capital

Scouting warrior (mr original)

and new scouting warrior

And some demographics



So far other than the place everyone was complaining wasnt productive enough i havnt seen anything which i would like to place as my second city.
 
Your second city? :dubious:

Although that unproductive site would be a commerce haven, as Karhu previously posted. Might make up for its maintenence cost quickly...
 
I would like the second warrior to go west a few tiles, because a city there would block off one of the branches to our capital.

or a specialist farm with the amount of food there we could get about 3/4 specialists easy.
 
I wasn't complaining, I just pointed out why it would be unwise for anyone other than us to settle there, as they won't be able to send in reinforcements easily. We could defend it easily, and we could just whip any building there.
 
unless we find a beautifull spot elsewhere i believe we should plant there, it will also decrease the amount of initial defence we need.
 
Here is another spot to consider, although with all that jungle its kind of a fixer-upper but with two hills and copper it will be fairly strong on production.
 
The more I think about it, the more I like the southern point for our 2nd city. At first I thought the river to the north should be used first - and it will be a great city down the line. However, that site has little to offer in the short term. However, the southern point offers quick commerce and growth, which can be used to build settlers and workers for future cities. Easy commerce should not be overlooked in the early game. And, as dutchfire pointed out, whipping can be used to build the most important strictures; granary, lighthouse, library.

That is a nice city for blocking the chokepoint, but for now, it's not very strong. All the jungle, plus it wastes those grassland tiles between it and the capital.
 
delurking:

The jungle city can work the fish for commerce, and the worker can soon start to clear and mine the hills.

The seafood city can work the rice for extra food. The two seafoods will not be available until a culture expansion - are we planning to research Mysticism soon?

Looks to me like the jungle town is slightly better - but a bit more exploration S and N might show better spots.
 
zyxy brings up a good point, although that jungle city does waste those neighboring grassland tiles. Is tile wasting a big issue in [civ4] ?

If we didn't waste those grass tiles, then we would be wasting the freshwater benefit from the river. That would be a waste.

Also, if we settled south first, the extra health benefits from the rice and fish would help offset the jungle effect :yuck: until it could be cleared. It is a great site, and will be good even before the jungle is cleared (copper, cow, and fish).

one other technical question. I've never played on a map like this, are these "oceans" on all sides of us independent from each other, or can we expect them to be connected?
 
we could always grab myst after IW if need be to build some obelisks or we could see where BAT are with writing/alpha because id much prefer to build a lib there first.

@karhu- its a custom map made by sirian so we cant 'expect' anything :)
 
Tile waste is no biggie, we could always backfill later.
Obelisks aren't usefull. Does the foreing minister know anything about when we'll get alphabet?
