Lately I've become a big fan of Nationhood and drafting rifles. When I pursue this strat, I generally take one food-rich city and turn it into my NE GP farm, and then later build Globe in the same city and convert it to a draft city.
Of course this causes the city to lose most of it's value as a GP farm, but my logic for putting them in the same city is basically:
1) Losing GPP doesn't seem like a huge deal at that stage in the game
2) I'd rather use the food that would be needed for a separate Globe drafting city on 1-2 commerce/production cities.
3) It's really convenient since the city is already farmed out
Is this ideal? I know this could vary with land available, but lets just assume we are average size, don't have gobs of cities, and a perfect location for a separate Globe drafting city often isn't available. (I'm playing on Emperor, if it matters.)
