Size 42 City!

[Randy]

I think this may be the biggest city I've ever had. I was milking the game on PtW and Moscow got to size 42.

Their is 1 AI leht on a 3 tile desert island. Their still in the MA. I'm mid way thru the IA with science set to 0%. Thay only have 2 spearmen and 1 galley.
Thank God I'm not trying to take them out with tanks hat could be trouble.

 

[bob rulz]

Wow, and it's still growing too! Albeit, very slowly.

I have a city in my current game that will probably grow to that size.

 

[CaptainPete]

Wow! Size 42............but only 9 shields per turn.

might want to pillage one of those grassland/rr tiles. That will even out your food to 84, so you don't yo-yo between 42 & 43. If you've got WLTKD it will go away if the city is starving.

The maximum city size for WTLKD is 42 cause for that you need the number of happy citizens to be equal to or higher than the number of content citizens, and specialist citizens count as content ones, and the maximum number of labourers (regular citizens), by farmable squares, is 21.

Because he's milking the game (for score). More happy people = higher score.

That's something I don't like doing (score is meaningless for me - kind of like post counts. )

This city is probably likely to remain a metro even after 1-2 nukes. :>

You hasty repliers go back and read my message cause I edited to change it

Milking for score is pointless (who's competing?). But milking to see how impressive your creation can get is quite fun. I say milk on!

If you're trying to submit an HoF win...they use milking quite a bit, I think.

Doesn't it go away when a city isn't growing anyway?

 

[Turner]

Nope, only while the city is shrinking, or there are less happy people then content. Of course, unhappy people will still take it away.

I don't need sheilds any more in this game. The only AI left has 3 units I have more then enough to stop an invasion of 2 spearmen. I'm about 25 turns from a culture victory so I'm maxing out all cities that are done building culture items.

 

[Black_Hole]

man, largest city i ever got was about size 20...

 

[Arminius]

I had a 53, but it got nuked! Oh, well it'll get back up there eventually...right?

 

[HiroHito]

I build my cities so tight I can never get above 24-26 !

42 is very nice !

I'm playing a game with the celts, Entremont is currently 44 but I'm working on getting it even higher. 60 perhaps. Pollution is horrible though.

 

[bob rulz]

Yeah, I captured Nineveh, it is size 36 is still growing every five turns thanks to fourteen irrigated, railroaded flood plains squares (two with wheat) but it is highly corrupt since it lies on the edge of my empire.

 

[Moby]

I love insainley large cities.

This city and Minsk city next over (has iron works) gets pollution every turn you can see the workers that were cleaning it up.
