City placement.

[Boom!]

I am on noble and I need some help with city placement.
Epic speed custom continents with china to the west I think.
Here are my Ideas.

First post

Personally, I prefer the blue one, because it has three strategic resources and a food resource on the side.

Welcome!

Welcome.

Reveal what is to the SE of Blue. I think the desert square 1 SE of blue might be better. Would make a nice production spec city.

About the best commerce city you will get from what we can see would be 1E of pig and 2W of corn.

Depending what is revealed I would place a city 1 S of Corn to claim the whine and stone.

 

[Quornix]

Yeah, I'd agree. You can always pick up the stone and wine with a city directly between them that gets the corn as well.

 

[Boom!]

How about the rest of the map?
How should I go for the gold to the west?
North of the gold or west of it?

Edit:
Played a few turns and found horses.

Explored the south too.

I bet you wish you'd moved the capital one to the west...

 

[Cam_H]

... I was thinking along similar lines!

I don't mind Oasis-Pigs-Elephant-Corn as a second spot if you can live without Copper for a while.

 

[Boom!]

How about the horses?

 

[Boom!]

Wow, you have a lot of food on that map!
