Blue circles... why this recommendation?

[guermantes]

Hi,

I know that the blue circles sometimes seems to have their own logic, but it is unclear to me why the game suggests that I clear two jungles instead of improving either of two grassland river tiles that are currently being worked unimproved by the governor.

Is it because of health deduction "get rid of the jungle ASAP"?

No idea, but I wouldn't put too much thought into it... I'm not sure it has been designed to be a very sophisticated game mechanics

I've learned through experience that the blue circle means "don't improve or settle this tile".

There will be uranium, aluminium or oil nearby.

Yeah, I turned off the "suggestions" because it seemed unfair. It tells me a good spot to settle and yet there is nothing there. Oh, because several years down the line there will be coal, oil, and uranium in the BFC...

No thanks, I'd rather not have that information. Seems cheap.

Perhaps the game thinks that city to be unhealthy.

Yep bet there is a hidden resource. Blue circles are a good indication of a resource not yet revealed.

First, I don't recall many resources under jungle tiles that are to be revealed and second DanF5771 proved its point that blue circles don't reveal or be affected by hidden resources.

Otherwise, OP just ignore those blue circles. Understanding them (except perhaps in some extreme metaplay) is just a waste of time.

They say the same about playing old games on old laptops. Waste of time... But is it fun? Yes! Yes it is!
