The perfect island

[Sodapop]

That is how our president called the island. 2 ressources in radius, production on every land square, 2 grassland, 1 forest. This poll asks you if we are going to build the city on the spot where the settler is, or move the settler on another square, or simply forget about this city. Please vote, here is the link to a screenshot of this island.

Good voting

What about this location:

The spot marked B underlined.

I was looking at that spot too, but its probably best to not expand that far away at this moment. It will probably become a choice in one of the next several city location polls.

Taking into account the ammount of corruption possible in that city i agree on your oder of importance ,im just highliting that spot.

Since we're talking about city location, I think maybe this one would be even better. What do you think?

Actually I was thinking about squeezing two cities out of that island. Put one city two squares southwest of B where the forest is (probably clear it first), and then another at the other end of the island east of the suggested spot. This would give up one special resource in the second city, but together they would gain three land squares two of which can become grassland shields, which in the end gives you more resources overall. Also, since this map cuts off part of the second city's radius there may be more land there.

We could also put another city on the island with Spycatcher, at the far opposite end in the southeast, so it would still get the fish resource and all of the land not in Spycatcher's radius.

The place indicated as "here" is where I think the next city should be, a whopping 4 specials, 2 whales and 2 fisf, plus nice farm land!

I would have indicated it first, but it's distant, and the other is nice and close.

Thank you Unknown Soldier!!!

Far too many people had been posting in this thread without making the obvious point that we have a 4 special square available!!!! It would be absolutely stupid to settle anywhere else. And with 2 fish and 2 whales, we can chuck in a harbour a bit later on and then it's a perfect settler factory. We can settle a whole continent with settlers produced from here. (Bit fanciful, but you get my point ) Also, we can solve the problems of our home island by getting settlers from here to irrigate and road it for them. We won't even need a settler from each home city if we do that. Build a defender, and then we can ferry new settlers back and forth to the mainland just in time for the next settler to be produced.
We should call the new city Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, or just Tomb maybe. In fact, it'd be better for him to choose the name.

Getting a bit carried away here.

I'm truly honoured that the city on 'the perfect island' got my name. I'm well chuffed! Thanks.
