New City Sites as of 1260AD
As of now, we have a number of city sites that are unused. Some of them overlap. Some are a long way away from our capital. In addition, our resources for constructing new sites are somewhat thin. However, for future reference I am putting this poll up to show our prospects for new cities, and to decide where we should go first.

Note: Some of these sites are essentially rehashes from steelhc's last city site thread, but some of those have been colonized.

Poll is open for 5 days.

These are the first two cities. The one on the same island as our other cities will overlap with Umbra. 1 is at (95,33) and 2 is at (88,22).

Here's 4 and 5, at (85,61) and (87,65), respectively. 5 will overlap slightly with Light, and 4 and 5 will vie for the whale in the middle.

What about no. 4 ( ) one square North? That way it still gets the whale, and also the Pheasants (yum) and doesn't overlap as badly with no. 5, and not at all with Light!

I like 5 and 9 a lot, and 8 is good too.

A few points - 8 is ages away - literally the other side of the world from our Palace, so it would take forever to get there and would have awful corruption, plus it is right near those Babylonians - and we know they can reach New Brandenburg with Triremes!


9 is safer, but just as distant. 5 is my pick as it is both good for three whales , is another close base to Egypt/America and both 4 and 5 are very close to the Capital. 4 is OK for the same reasons.

3 interests me, but we need to know more about that spot - plus it is very close to Rome and India. One big potential plus in exploring there, though, is that just N of there is a big unexplored space. The section of land you see in the NW corner almost certainly backs on to the Carthaginians' land, but E of there (directly N of the proposed city) is a big area of potential land.

That's it, I guess. If anyone needs any further location info on these sites, speak up - a well-informed populace leads to good Governing decisions.

let's take a look
site 1: very nice(just need to get rid of te swamp np there)
****

site2: loonly, to much swamp to build something right now
*

site3: personnaly I would want to see that one explored first(we could call it Atlantis...(that ancient drowned city--> there is enough water around)
***

site4:with a little modification(1 step north) definately a good site.
****

site 5: in combination with No. 4 so we can take care of some irrigation without the need of a trireme.
****(with 4) **(alone)

site6: what can I say more...
****

site7: filling up the last little pieces of land
****

site 8: nice to( btw who carres about those Babylonians... If you ask nicely they just give you their cities )
***

site 9: little to much forrest for a decent growth
**

site 10: always nice to have many troops stationned near the enemy.
****

quite an impressive list.


lets build almost all of them.

I agree that 4 would be better 1 square North. We give up having gold on the citysquare, but the Pheasant is worth it. 3 food and 2 gold gets a new city off to a good start.

4 is one sqaure north, it's just that the little blinking thing was selected one square off of where the site would be when I took the picture.

Site 5 is the center of the circle, not where the number is pasted. It would get all 3 Whales.

No offense meant, but did you really mean "useless"? In context, "useful" (the opposite idea) seems to make more sense. In other words, I interpret your thought to mean that we should not build new cities if we are going to conquer existing ones.

If that is the case, I disagree. There are several sites for new cities that would be very productive and self-supporting very quickly. We have enough Musketeers to land a Settler and a Musketeer at several sites so that they would have immediate defense.

In addition, a few new cities would give us some places to share the support cost of our many military units. Apolyton, for example is supporting 6 units at a cost of 3 shields per turn. I would to relieve a few cities of that burden and take advantage of the "3 Free Unit" support we get as a Monarchy. For each new city we build, we came home 3 units at no cost.

And most of those new sites are near other civ's, so we will want 3 units in them anyway. Those freed-up shields will help the existing cities produce more Caravans and Crusaders, and we need them.

I advise a slow but complete city building in every site suggested!

But let the voters decide!

yes, i´m sorry, i meant useful

well, we´ll have to deal with a lot of cities,

I agree with all you´ve said but if we are getting around 8 cities (maybe more) from egyptians and americans, and we build 12 cities more it will seem a ICS (is the awy to spell it??) game

but is just my humble opinion

I don't mean we should build *many* new cities, just a few on those locations that are *really* good. I don't want an ICS game either. As you said, we will be conquering enough additional cities soon.
