Where should i put my FP?

Yeah i must admit this has really gone in the direction that i wanted, because i haven't been sure on the dynamics of the FP in C3C
 
In theory, the ideal place of the FP in C3C would be a city that is surrounded by low ranked cities (in relative terms... like, at least below OCN) but suffer from distance corruption at the same time. Trouble is that such a location is rarely present (on pangaea anyways) and building the FP there may take too much time. Plus, in case your empire has a potential to gain new cities with lower ranks (say your FP is on another island and you conquer a third, palace-closer island), the FP-surrounding cities might get quite a corruption boost - while your newly conquered cities prolly lack of infrastructure and size, hence not adding too much gpt and spt to your civ.
Getting it up sooner close to the palace and thus gaining the OCN bonus sooner is often more proftitable, so I see no troubles building it in Rotterdam.:)

In vanilla/PTW, the ideal place of the FP looks like this:
Every city is closer to the FP than to the palace. Wave rank corruption bye-bye and get rich in the process.
(practically, you would likely build the FP near your actual palace and move/rush your palace to/in a completly remote city after FP-completion).
 
Regardless where you put your FP, the city with the FP will never suffer more than 70% corruption. In C3C with palaces and FPs being close, you rarely see this though.

You must mean 20%, as the FP reduces corruption cap by 70%. If you add a courthouse and a Police station, then you have 0 corruption :king:
 
Oops, your are right. I said that completely backwards. I meant to say that the FP reduces corruption by 70%, making the city at least 80% productive.
 
I normally build my FP in the closest city to where my next MGL is (unless that city will likely flip). So far it has worked for my (Emperor).
