Iron Works Placement

[Ginger_Ale]

That is the city where we are currently able to build the Iron Works. But we shouldn't build it there - it won't grow much, has tons of corruption, and isn't by our core!

I propose we build a city on the following dot and have it start by building the Iron Works right away. This city is close to our core, has good shields potential with all the hills nearby, and good growth potential if we irrigate a few grasslands.

Comments?

Halls of Mandos can also build Iron Works, and is already making 15 shields (11 after corruption), building a Courthouse due in 8. It would complete Iron Works in 28 turns, less after railroading and growing it to the available food. Even better, it has almost no overlap currently so has a lot of potential after being fully improved. I'd say let the courthouse finish and then use this existing location to build iron works, instead of disrupting our core by planting a new city there.

I agree with DS. that many shields is enough to finish it in a reasonable amount of time. plus, it'll have more shields once we setup RR's in the city radius.

Ditto to DaveShack's and greekguy's comments.

Woops! Didn't see Halls of Mandos' ability to build Iron Works. I fully support it.

 

[Chieftess]

Mandos is the perfect spot for it, IMHO.

Whatevered for Mandos. If it can work all 21, it'd be better than the proposed dot.

Thanks to GA for starting this discussion. It seems that everyone is in agreement with the Placement of Iron works in Halls of Mandos.

I have put up a thread. It can be found here.

EDIT. Fixed link.

Yeah Mandos! (I already put it in the queue )

EDIT:
@classical_hero: the link is wrong...

Good to see that you have put it in your queue, I'm just making it offical with the poll, which you can view from this thread, now.

Sure, thanks.

Did anyone notice that we couldn't even build the iron works on the dot city? The iron is outside the dot city's radius.
