City 4 + 5 Naming

[Robi D]

Well city 4 will be built in around 8 turns. So lets start with that one. Here is the site.


Giving the 3 entrances to the sea maybe an islandy theme is in order, like Konnichi wa (Japanese) or Kia Ora (Mauri, New Zealand) or something completely different. Anyway here's your chance to throw in your 2 cent

Hey will it have fresh water???? If not its going to grow slowly...

I like "Kia ora"

I dislike that placement, it is right next to a hill- one hill will be useless in terms of production so i think we should move it one till over onto the hill for the extra defensive bonus

 

[BCLG100]

and rob thats a lake north of it.

 

[robboo]

OK on lake....I like it where it is I think. The hill we can mind for a bit of production and then we can windmill it if we want to. at this point if we need to rely on a hill bonus in that city to save our butts....we are doomed.

However...we should look at the difference in the two sites hill or jungle and see whats better for a commerce city.

 

[BCLG100]

No im more thinking that someone could land a naval force there which would be harder to push off than if they landed elsewhere, especially by the looks of things it could be a prime position for a landing.

 

[robboo]

OK...I can see that reasoning.

 

[Robi D]

Now people complain about the site
For my mind a sea invasion land there is something we don't have to consider until frigates and galleons at least. My thinking was there is no other production tiles and we need some to build improvements there, so mining the hill and putting workshops on the plains, with the bananas and a farm or 2 providing extra food.

Anyway here are the tile stats:
Currently: 6 grassland (including 1 dye and 1 banana), 9 sea, 2 lake, 2 plains and 1 plains hill.

On hill: 8 grass (including 1 dye and 1 banana), 7 sea, 3 lake and 2 plains.

I like teh first one..9 sea tiles clinches it with teh collosuos

First rules!

And i think evryybodys like kia dora its the only one in oceania

 

[BCLG100]

Ive been complaining about it the whole time!

i thought we should build near the horses just you werent reading

could we maybe get a chinese/spanish one as they are the major world languages today.

 

[robboo]

I disagree..I dont see any wars with horsies in the next 40 turns..we have time to get it up there. Horsies are only good for war if you indend on attacking...otherwise we only need them for cossacks which are aways off.

This city will give us the needed boost in science and commerce to really (hopefully) pull away from the others.

 

[BCLG100]

I just dont like the worker turns we will have to use up clearing this forest.

In case you weren't reading the horsies are city number 5

I also think we will have enough cities to cover all the languages. I had an idea for the horse city to use the russian Privet since we are a russian civ and cossasks are our UU, but let get city 4 named first. So far Kia Ora is a fave, any other suggestions?

 

[BCLG100]

Is Kia Ora a drink as well?

and nope reading isnt a strong point, with my reading ability and robs spelling ability we make for a v inteligent team!

 

[robboo]

HEY at least I have a few college degrees, and starting on my PhD next year...you drunk first year student.

How is school going BC?

 

[BCLG100]

Erm its flying straight past in a drunken haze

but im getting stuff done and getting well over the average to get back in next year when my degree *really* starts

hows the pond life?

 

[robboo]

Works great...next week or in a few days I will send you a picture of my co-worker(girl). I will be spending the first 3 days with them next week in a stream looking for and counting a couple of species of endangered fish. She samples the streams during warm weather in a bikini and boots..... I would be quite distracted and stuck at counting to two.

OK spam off.....So whats the consensus of the site selection.

 

[BCLG100]

oh the hill by the looks of things

 

[Robi D]

Since city 4 seems to have the vote of next to the hill and will have the name Kia Ora, this is city 5 proposed location.
Since the horses will give us our Cossaks eventually i suggest the Russian Privet.
