Hawaiian island chain strategy

In the wake of a city which has moved out of range of tiles it has previously occupied, you can pop up an outpost in it's territory with leftover improvements.

In my current game, I plan to move Taiwan along this path to point 6. In it's wake, I will establish new cities to follow with improvements already made on the way. Hawaiian chain strategy is what I call it.

What a cool idea! Up til now, I only moved cities a couple of hexes, so that they would have more food tiles to grow.

If one has the right situation, this could work really well. Remember that a city can only be founded in shallow water (coast). If some of your later spots are in deep water (ocean), you will need to move cities up there rather than spawn them in place.

Tectonic shift. A new island about to form.
