while at first i swore with feritlity rites in every situation hwere i went tall, i just had this situation here:
holy sweet mother of banana, that are a LOT of banana's. my capital starts out with 2 banana's immideatly and another one close in reach, giving me some great early growth, hitting size 6 somewhere around turn 30. my second city will have access to no less than 6 banana's fully grown, which is going to translate to another gigantic city. playing as korea, thats great news as im going for an tech victory. now i have to choose my pantheon, and im in serious doubt on what to choose. fertility rites is great when going tall science considering all the extra growth, but +1 food for wheat, banana's and citrus certainly sounds very tempting. assuming i get my second and thrid city at the spot i want, that alone is 11 extra food if those tiles are worked, and basicly an free granary lite early on for early fast city growth. on the other hand, fertility rites is going to help regardless of wther i work those tiles and will help even if im forced to build my 4th city somewhere less blessed.
considering im quite new to this game and its onw arlord difficulty i doubt its going to matter much for wether i win the game or not as this is probaly my last match on warlord, but i'd still like to know for future games where it might.
now im asking anyways, another quick question: what is better for science, cutting down jungle for farms for gignormous cities, an mix where the city is decently large but with an bunch of trade post jungles or buidlign trade posts wherever there is jungle and only building farms in the non-jugnle tiles?
thanks in advance.
