I'm not sure. That thin white border which is visible under the dotted line of the national borders worries me.
That white border defines the working area.

Take it easy Gramphos! There seems to be a contradiction in that statement, because he also says the following:

Quote:
Even if your city has only the beginning 1-square (no) border, you can work the requisite number of surrounding squares
So... I'm not exactly sure what he means anymore.

I believe that a city start with no cultural border, and can only work a radius of one. After 10 cps both borders will expand ("Normal" city radius and 1 radius border.) From that point I guess that the border will expand in some points, and maybe the workable area will expand once more.

In the contrary, Gamspot isn't wrong on this one.

You are confusing two different concepts:

1. The cultural border of a city
2. Number of tiles it can use

[1] is clearly affected by culture and determines whether you'll need colonies to access resources. [2] is old stuff.

It also seems that [2] can increase at a very high cultural level.

It isn't very clear no matter how you look at it. I can't interpret what Dan said.

I guess I'll have to wait to see.

I talk about killing time, while time slowly kills me.

I hope THAT is not true. That would mean that a warrior would have a 10% chance of winning a battle against a tank!
