I started a deity Babylon game aiming for science victory. I'd also like some advice where to build my third city.
I thought of the following locations but couldn't decide which I would use.
1) Jungle hills tile next to the sugar (south-east of Babylon)
+ New luxury resource nearby
+ Food tile nearby
- Ottomans near to the south, their capital is not far
- It is a bit cramped due to the city states (and Ottomans)
2) Plains forest tile next to the mountain, wheat and copper north of Almaty
+ Mountain
+ Food tile
+ Luxury
+ Not near any major civs
- Very close to Akkad, causing tiles to overlap
- Very close to Almaty, unable to grow very big borders
3) Tundra tile west from the deer north-east from Babylon
+ Horses, wine and copper nearby
+ Barringer crater nearby
+ Lots of room for border expansion
+ No major civs or city states nearby
- On tundra
- No food tiles
I might not build more than three cities. I am quite undecided on that as well. I'd be glad to hear advice where to build the next city and whether to build more cities than that.
