Term III: City Placement Discussion

[Bowsling]

From the below picture I suggest this order:
Light Blue
Red
Yellow
Dark Green (If it hasn't already been taken by the Byzantines)
Light Green
Maroon

Any objections to locations/order?

 

[DaveShack]

Have the current settler locations been taken into account?

Edit: Looks like not. It might be good to put a heavily defended city near the dyes even before these are settled.

The picture below is the current year, billybones27. We have 3 Settlers walking. The arrows point to their proposed blush: by me) destinations. Sorry I took the liberty of building and directing these guys. Wasn't thinking, I guess. I figured we neededd to populate the N/NE to keep the Barbs out.

Other than these three, I do like your other recommendations. Light Blue, Red, and Yellow.

Also Cyc, please note TheOverseer and I noted that There is a Vandal encampment near Maeve, so those Settlers are in danger

at least the unescorted ones

 

[Cyc]

Duly noted, Falcon02. I would think the Settler in the West is ok, as it is only moving 1 more tile. But the Eastern one should stop.

 

[DaveShack]

I don't remember, do barbs destroy an undefended city, or just steal some gold?

 

[TheOverseer714]

They take gold, kill excess population, and destroy progess on active projects, but they can't raze cities.

 

[Cyc]

We have placed the 3 cities in the NE (Barb elimination). The light blue has been established. I have a city going up by the Dyes, so we'll need to get that city up NW of Breyr (Red). I have a Settler going towards the Yellow spot. If we can keep blocking the Byzs, that should work. The dark green doesn't look likely, but who knows. The Maroon has been placed and a Settler is approaching the Light Green, although the location will be the Green 11 spot. Sound good?

 

[Cyc]

Well Yellow and Dark Green are pretty much obsolete now, unless we go to war with the powerful Byzantines (then we can redistribute their lands). The light green was moved to the green 11 spot. Everything else has been established. What's next, Domestic Leader?

 

[Bowsling]

Here is the suggested new city placement:
Yellow
Red
Dark Green
Orange
Light Blue
Light Green
