Ring City Placement?

[Swooping Hawk]

Hi, I've just heard some references to ring city placement. Can somebody inform a noob what this is?

It was a means of beating corruption in PTW. It involved placing one's cities at equal distances from the capital, whereupon they all had the same (low) corruption. It was considered a little bit of an exploit, and has been rendered useless in C3C.

It works in Vanilla Civ3 as well as PTW.

I see, but I'm not sure how it works. Does that mean you can place your cities further than normal - like a cheat?

Not exactly. If you want details, I recommend the original tutorial:

I see... Thanks for the link. I think I'll just play it the old fashioned way though.
