Three pages of hand-wringing and strategic planning based on some screenshots for a game that none of you have played. That's pretty impressive!
Uh, you do know we're Civ fans, right?![]()
Say you establish a city and instantly gain access to all nearby resources. But surely this will depend on addiction or multiplication bonus.
Obviously, there are many strategies but I think a good standard opening for all civs would be to purchase Tradition-Liberty-Honor in that order.
My thought is what if you're going to adopt Liberty, you need to adopt it first - it will be much less useful after the initial expansion.

This is the equivalent of a "slow news day". We likely won't hear much else until the demo is released. Nothing really else to do but speculate at the moment.![]()
True. But your capital has to reach pop 2 before it is allowed to build a settler, so you might as well get Tradition first to have the extra food to boost pop growth in your capital then get Liberty when you are ready to build your first settler.

So, I don't think you will be wasting that much expansion before getting Liberty if you purchase as your 2nd policy imo. In fact, I would argue that Tradition is a waste if you don't purchase it first because the extra food for your capital will do the most good when your capital is small.

Pop 2? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that a city has to be pop 4 before it can start building settlers.
That would make opening Tradition first the best move for quick expansion, so you can hit 4 pop sooner, and by the time you reach that point a French player will likely have enough culture to also open Liberty. I doubt Civ5 will allow for FreeCiv's smallpoxing, but it'll certainly be fun to try.![]()

Three (four now) pages is nothing. Arioch's thread is up to 84 pages now.![]()
Any thread by that point is off-topic.
