New city proposals 175 BC

[Rout]

I think the coal city would best be placed on the grassland N, NW of Dellham, as it would get more food.

As for the nw whale city, should we found on desert, or should we found one on plains, and one further E along coast to get the fish (lots of hills=lots of shields later on!).

The whale city in boreum should be founded soon, this is reasonably safe territory, and the ciy will capture a hidden special (see diag).

How do we feel about starting settlers on Hidden resources? there are many (How about within mordheim -> forest?). Yes i know they take time but thats' all the more reason to start it while we have plenty of settlers!

Death to the Horn-Heads!

Thank you. You have drawn the River City, SE of Forest.

The Coal City is quite a problem, last time I coonsidered it. I think your Pure Green is a refreshing idea. The only think I could think of was build it as a Hill Mine City, using two settlers. The first one starts building the Mine, the second one founds the city a few turns later. There is just not enough Green there, yet I want all of the Caravans it can produce.

Thnking of ? on the Archer by the Whale, that seems the best spot over there, or just S of there. Which overlaps more with LC, so is probably not such a good idea.

The ? between the banana and the $ loos like a winner. Maybe that should be founded soon. River City first, of course, I hope.

It seems only fair that since you drew this map, you did not mention F4 !?

Sorry about that, id forgotton about it. I think its sucks, there mentioned it!
To be fair I should have included it tho (i did forget)

 

[Elsaak]

and what about the city suggested at the opposite corner to bananas ? (IE = W W SW of bananas)

You can still find a map with city-placement by me here
It has almost the same sites as you pointed out in your map. We will need polls on which cities to found first and where, with which settlers and at what exact spot.

Im not sure where you mean, i follow that to a sea tile (bananas in the north right?) but please understand these are just my ideas not a comprehensive list of all suggested sites.

 

[Elsaak]

ooopps ! let's say :

East + East + SouthEast !

 

[Rout]

I see, on the corner?
Well its a fine filler city and should be built, but we need to get the big-uns built first and fill the fillers in after (IMO)
The only prob. with that site is we will need to place settlers over the channel to modify land, though we will probably want to stick cities over there anyhow.
Note that this area will be devoid of special resources.

Civ1, thank you for finding that link. There is also plenty of clever reasoning in that thread. My primary interest is:
1) what to do right now? Hence,
2) River Bridge City, SE of Forest, SE of LC's Oasis.
3) As Civ1 has mentioned, what other cities have priority?
4) Eventually, revisit F4, on the Forest between RC & CJ.

There are 2 Settlers shown, SW of CJ, and SW of Dellham.
5) Does the Dellham Settler head North to the Vikings, or what?
6) Does the CJ Settler found River Bridge City, or what?

Hello, I'm back from my trip. Unfortunately, I returned a bit under the weather, so my mental abilities have dropped to nearly as low as a gorilla. It's challenging getting up to speed with the increased complexity.

I strongly support building the River Bridge City ASAP. It's an important interior city that will contribute much.

I don't prefer coal city on the Grassland as it is inside Dellham's radius. The mine + found on hill option looks good for production. Population can be supplemented eventually if there are extra settlers to join the city.

Elsaak's suggestion also looks good.

Time to reactivate this thread.
It shows Fruit City, N NE of the Banana.
We built River City.
We built Fort Anarchy, N of the little lake.

It comments but does not show F4, Filler on Forest 3 NW of RC.

We need to pick a site N N N NE NE of Dellham.
