City Placement Proposal

[greekguy]

so, i was looking at the Big Picture map donsig provided in the Played Turns thread, and thought i would make a suggested dot map. below will be a map of where i suggest we place our next several cities or so. i think the positions are placed well and i think it is important we fill in the far east and upper west of our continent soon. so, here's my proposed Dot Map:

 

[BCLG100]

They all seem good i dont think we need that city to the west of provobomb we can move that north west of provo south west by one tile and therefore we get more production from them cities all around but only lose one city which we can put one tile south of the dot i think we should get rid of. however i think we should try and settle as much of the jungle as we can as well as we dont want the d'nuts taking up all our space.

 

[donsig]

The settler we have is heading for the banana tile near Torusopolis so we can try to get those grapes.

After that we can work on the city sites proposed here. First though we need to figure out where we're going to produce settlers! Any suggestions?

 

[greekguy]

well, i think Dynopolis and Carpetbomb could be possible settler pumps. we would just have to make sure the cities have enough food to stay high in pop and be able to produce a settler every X turns.

 

[BCLG100]

well any settler pump city should have at least 2 workers working it until it is at maximum capacity, carpetbomb is an ideal place.

 

[donsig]

We can have another settler ready in 5 turns in Carpetbomb. Should we send it east or west? Should we be thinking about trying to build a Forbidden Palace? (I ask this because if we want to do that we should plan our new cities accordingly.)

 

[BCLG100]

Think there are better spots to settle west for the time being.

 

[greekguy]

we should go west, because there is some better land there. i guess we could put our FP in one of the cities we found in the west in the future.

 

[BCLG100]

I think if were aiming to smash the d'nuts we should maybe put our FP somwhere around the jungle cities, would mean that it have some influence over them cities.

 

[donsig]

We'll have a settler in a couple turns. We've already decided it's best to send it west, but I need to know exactly where you guys want this one. Greekguy's proposal has six city sites in the west. I think we should settle by the sea as that would help to us see any ships sailing up and down the coast. There are four sites to choose from - so where do we go?

 

[Theoden]

I'd go with the site four squares SW of the fortified warrior. It's a key spot, gives some crucial line of sight and has lots of resources.

i like this one as well, the next city imo should go two tiles north east of the horseman.

 

[greekguy]

i agree with them on this, build our next city 4 SW of the warrior. i think our next city after that should be the northern most eastern black dot on the map.

 

[donsig]

OK, we're all agreed on where to build our next city. What about a name for it? How about TimBentleybomb. Has a nice meter to it, I think.

 

[greekguy]

how about Bentleyville? since we're on the topic of city names, when do i get a city named after me?

 

[donsig]

I like TimBentleybomb better than Bentleyville.

Where would you like the greekguy city to be? Pick a spot now before all the good ones are snapped up! Do you like greekguyopolis?

 

[BCLG100]

I want a city afterwards as well please,

also bentleyville sounds pretty weird imo, what about Fort Bentley?

 

[greekguy]

i like the sound of Fort Bentley...has a good ring to it.

i would say i would like my city to be the black dot with horses, ivory, fish, and whales in the city radius. i think greekguy's palace would work just fine as a name.

 

[donsig]

OK, greekguy's palace it will be.

@ BCLG: What name do you want and which city site do you want?

@ everyone: I still like TimBentleybomb!!!

 

[greekguy]

well, if Tim would stop by and say something himself, it would make this decision considerably easier...hint, hint...
