Viroconium

[Dell19]

This city has been recently captured and has several important things that need to be built. It needs a second pikeman, a temple and a settler would be nice to colonise the large island. City walls would be also helpful.

I will still make a poll for the most important item to build but a discussion would be nice to show the three items we should build in order or something similar.

Aren't you presupposing the outcome of the poll here? The one in which we decide who has control over this city's production until we are secure in it.
I say another Pikeman though.

Settler, to colonise new land. This island is rather large right? We just have to scout it with the crusaders first to see that there are no romans left.
Then we shoud IMHO build two settlers more, one for colonisation and one for developing land. After this a temple.

 

[Dell19]

Well I am trying to make the poll more worthwhile instead of making a poll now where everyone ends up voting for a second pikeman and then 4 days later, having to make another poll where everyone votes for a temple...Obviously other options will be taken into account but since only one pikeman is in the city then it is likely that another pikeman will be voted for.

and bringing a settler here would be good to ,this city has a marketplace but doesnt bring in taxes ,on the other hand it's close to the capital so it shouldnt have to much corruption ,so we should build road's here.

Agree on the pike's building.

A Pike would be nice. Since the city has no supported units yet, I'd also suggest having the Pike there be supported by Viroconium and give Dreadtown a break.

After the Pike, I'd say a settler. However, we have quite a few on the mainland as well. I'll have to get a poll up regarding using one of those settlers as another city maker near Viroconium and perhaps another to connect the two cities and improve the land. It will be better if these cities can support one another.

Actually, I would NOT vote for a second Pike. We have three Crusaders in the city. Unless we know for certain there are hordes of Roman Knights about to descend upon the city, this should be plenty of defense for the moment. Scout the area with one or two Crusaders (leave one in the city to aid in defense) and build a settler. We need roads on the squares in production. After that it would depend on certain factors at the time: how close to unrest is the city, what have our scouting Crusaders found, how close are the Romans. I would likely go for a second Pike to follow the settler to found a new city, and build another settler third.

It very likely that those Crusaders will be moved out of the city pretty soon. I believe that they are at least 75% of our attacking army so they may need to be used to attack other cities or to just explore the island in the near future so a pikeman would be helpful for when the crusaders get moved.

There are also 2 ship's with 4 crusader's moving in the sea between Mpondo and Unknown city.

I don't know of any other attacks planned for the moment, so it seems safe to assume we can leave at least one Crusader here for the moment. We need roads on the squares in production and more cities on this island. I would consider this our first priority until and unless we find Romans (or others) nearby.

I remember a discussion about disbanding this city, because of it's bad location (that silly AI). Is it going to happen ?

Anyway, a pikeman here.

 

[Leowind]

It would take a lot of effort to disband a size three city. Would it be worth it?

 

[ACM]

Oops, I forgot this is Civ2, not Civ3.

So, answering to your question, probably it's not worth the effort, but the people want settlers, and that's quite convenient.

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

I voted pikeman to finish off the security in this city. Then, we should work on making this a happy city, then corruption free(nearly), then work on making any kind of profit from it.

 

[Dell19]

See in some ways it would have been easier to have put the Pikeman as thwe first build order and then let the people vote for what to build afterwards...Currently we will build a pikeman and then a settler.
