Chieftain
Since Civ4 I like to place a city on a 1 tile island... However, its not that easy to manage one as it was in Civ4. What are some tips to manage its booming ?
so here's a quick silly question.... Aluminum is very scarce is my current game (except for Darius who has cornered the market with 16)... I have 3 and no one else has any... I have a cannon sitting on a 1-hex island with 8 aluminum....
would you settle a city there?
addendum: I am also 3.5 tracks into a possible Utopia (though I could cheese out and take a diplo win at any time)
Why not?
Well, if you're going for a cultural win, and aren't faced with imminent invasion, it'll slow you down.
I'd drop a settler over there, but wait to build the city until I had a plan as to how I was going to use the resources.
Right. The island just works the tiles with resources (which are, what, 2 2 3?), and any excess population works as specialists until the food breaks even.Water tiles are very poor in CIV5 compared to land so I'd avoid the island cities unless you've got plenty of resources for excess food a seaport.
That's what I was thinking.... thx

Now the question is: is it possible to conquer a city in an island? I mean, wich units an 1-tile island city has to fear?
Use navy to bombard down to 1hp... then amphibious attack with any melee unit
in multiplayer it means you can last as long as you want
in single player it means your other cities are free from attack if you build your capitol and the rest on 1 tile isles
the evidence is clear- Secondary 1tile city build- for the superior
and your capitol needs a harbor as well
