Where should I build the Forbidden Palace? I've attached a map:

I try to build mine close to where I think I'll make my next aggressive expansion.

I agree with Jokeslayer on that one...but I have something to add.

1st) usually a 3rd or 4th tier city is best (2 or 3 cities away from capitol)

2nd) Ainwood's CivAssist II tool in the C&C forum is a great tool which can help with questions like that.

I took over all of Scandanavia and France so I figure I could make Paris the site of the FP.

Are you planning to expand any further? If so, where?

I'm a warmonger there's no limit to my expansion, I'll attack either Spain or Portugal next both have been annoying me sending spies into my territory stealing my workers. After taking them out I'll dominate Western Europe. Thus I figure a FP in Paris would be good.

Is that the same mod you used in Interesting Screenshots?

No this is a different one. Its Pawel's Rising Sun mod

In C3C the FP doesn't create a second ring of low corruption, so FP placement isn't that important. Although, it does significantly lower corruption in the city it was built.

Sorry but, how do you know if spies are stealing your workers? What happens? do you get a message saying your worker was stolen?
I thought you can only expose enemy spies in your cities. And workers only get captured during wartime..
I'm a casual player, usually on warlord or regeant level. so, any new advice is welcomed.

I'm playing a mod where there's a hidden nationality spy unit. The units have been coming from Portoguese and Spanish trerritory so I know its one of them.

Here's my tip - on the other side of the world. On your farthest building that's still decent in building (lets say 50% corruption). Don't build it too far though, a metro that only produces 1 non corrupt shield is useless in building anything.

Does he still play this game anymore? Its been a while.

 

[AznWarlord]

That's very true. Somehow, I found it on the front page though.

I build it in adjacent ot enemy territory, preferably in some city that I've just captured. I do it when I get an MGL. Boom! One turn, and no more flipping! It's a death knell for my opponent. finish him off; move on to the next one; get an MGL; sell the FP or disband; repeat as necessary! Very satisfying! Bwaa-aa-aa-aa-ah!

Build it in Paris and conquer nowadays Spain, Portugal, UK islands and Italian peninsula by this order, send your defensive units to Misnk, Kiev and Viena. Later invade Otomans...
