Our Start

[Black_Hole]

Here is our start emailed from the admins, along with this email:

Greetings Team CFC,

Your start position screenshot is attached. Also please note the
password for your civ is cfcreborn. This may not be exactly the same
as the password you requested, we were informed that some of the
passwords contained characters which are suspected to cause
difficulties with the game.

Regards,

We also received another email from the admins

Dear participating teams.

The Mapmaker Sirian would like to follow the game on the maps that he
made as it develops on your forums. He would like access to your
secret forum to do this.

It will be your decision to allow him in or to not allow him in - I'm
only asking. So, if you get a request from member Sirian - you know
what it is about.

There is no need to reply to this email. However, if you have a
question to us or when you need the admins for other reasons: email us
on this email address.

Regards,
Rik Meleet
Co-Admin.

Note: I assumed the forum attachment system would be more secure than uploading the picture on the cfc server, please tell me if I am wrong

settle in place after warrior climbs hill just to look about. Great food rich city with 2 health bonus and a happiness bonus.

Moving 1W would give us a bit more river to work with, and keeps all resources. I haven't cruched the numbers, tho'.

It would also give us another hill

 

[robboo]

nope it does not add a hill...it removes one forested plains hill inexchnge for a plains hill

settle in place vs settle 1 west
in place city is on grassland
picks up 2 coastal, 1 ocean(?unsure), forested plains hill and 1 grassland compared to the settle on a plain and pick up 2 coastal , 1 plains hill and 2 grasslands.

So it boils down to this...stay nets you one forest and 1 ocean(?unsure) where as moving nets you 1 grassland. No brainer..move 1 w

sorry for the poor picture paint job...

FYI chatroom is available if you would like real time discussion.

 

[Methos]

I agree with moving 1W

 

[croxis]

As far as exploration it looks like to the west is just ocean, but I can't tell if that bit of land closes off or not. South looks like it may expand out again but it seems that it isn't fertile land. West seems obvious to explore as it looks like we have a bit of grasslands there.

What I suggest if there is contention on what to do with the warrior, is that the settler moves first and builds a city (Firstonetopia sound good? Thunderfalls?) and then post a screeny. Wait an hour or two for response and the move the warrior.

One west would be my idea, also possibly allows us to squeeze in a city east.

 

[Pajka]

I would settle in place. I consider the space which will remain to the east as too small for a serious city (if we settle 1W).

a serious city no, but if we've only got 5 cities for whatever reason having that 6th will be usefull for things

 

[croxis]

Or if we only have 4 cities the 5th would allow us to build many things that need 5 of something else.

 

[azzaman333]

I'd much rather keep the river health bonus. If we were going to move, I would much rather it to be 1SE. We would waste less space in the east, and have more space west for more cities.

Now someone shoot down my idea, and say why it wont work.

 

[ybbor]

echo of azz

ohhh...SE.

either in place or SE. for the health bonus

 

[robboo]

Someone want to figure out the longer term differences...

we have 3 sites to think about.

 

[Robi D]

I like azzamans idea, it makes better use of the land and the health bonus always helps

 

[Karl Townsend]

what a lovely start
just settle there and 3 gte 3 mines form the hills

 

[BCLG100]

1 tile SE means we lose 2 of our lux's (yes i know we only need one) but we can cottage them early on to be big money givers. it also means that instead of more grassland tiles we'll have plains tiles.


if we need health theres plenty more we can do to get it, resources, granary's. aqueducts etc.

it's not like this is our only city

There's lots of different opinions going here maybe a poll would be a good idea
