yea. for shanghai it probably isn't worth it now.
as far as cities go, come to think of it i should have squeezed two cities instead of 1 south of beijing. the area north of beijing had too much tundra imo to warrant a city there just for the iron resource. i can probably squeeze a city west of barcelona.
fast forwarding a bit, i'm at 1255 AD. I denied hammy all the horses and ckn made it surprisingly easy to take out his main cities. I left him 1 city up in the nw corner of the map and i took a few techs from him as well.
i just switched to beurocracy so i'm stuck in anarchy but other than that , i think i'm in good shape to win the libration race.
question: in my earlier ss of my city layout, theres a babylonian city in the sw corner which i razed while fighting hammy. I want to build a city 1 nw of that spot b/c theres so much green and a fish tile. the problem i see is that there are no production tiles after i've chopped the forest in that area. what would be the best way to go about building a city there?
i'm leaning towards chopping for moai statues but it might be better suited in another area. the two things i would definitely build would be a worker boat and a lighthouse. but after that should i just build wealth there?
