I'm with Jedi on this one. I think you can easily achieve this by placing siege units around chokepoints.Hi there,
As a long time lurker on these boards I thought I should join up now that the Civ 5 release is just a few days away.
After watching Greg's game play video I've put together a little strategy that I'm calling the Napoleon Gambit.
The basic idea is this. You build your cities close enough so that their bombardment capabilities can cover the other cities - so no more than 3 tiles away.
Besides providing the obvious defense benefits, you also cut down on road costs because your cities are so close. Greg's cities were pretty spread out in the video and it took him a long time to move his troops to the front. There was also that moment of shock when he found him self under attack from 2 cities at once.
Do you think it's a viable strategy?
Does anyone know if the bombardment abilities of cities are comparable to siege units?
