Great poll!

Are you saying I did state my preference in the first post?

I just added the arguments giving for each position. Can I help it few arguments were given for NW of the nutrients??

/me must inform you that due to budget cut-backs, this post had been erradicated.

Well, I know that the word of a simple talent doesn't count for much in this crazy, mixed-up Chironian world, but I think that parking our little colony pod on that river mouth one tile northwest of the nutrient tile would offer the most benefits (terraforming wise, bonus of movement, etc.).

I'd also like to say that it'd be advisable to have that scout regiment turn about and stay in the newly built base until they can scrape up some defense for themselves.

people! we can't go NW of the nutrient tile! if we go SW, then we save an extra turn of movement, and we waste less tiles by not working them. overlap is NOT a bad thing.

lucky22 · September 9, 2002, 19:23

I have to disagree- we have quicker access to the second nutrient tile and the mouth of the river by settling NW.

Vlad Antlerkov · September 9, 2002, 19:36

Southwest.

Coastal access, got the nutrient tile and some good land on the river, and not much overlap with New Apolyton (1 tile).

If not there, then NW.

The bonus in energy brought by the river will be very useful to our scientists, espeically at this early point where any MegaWatt is rare.
And I think we'll have all the time to settle between the two base radius..

Pandemoniak · September 10, 2002, 04:09

Due to urgence, we wil have to shorten this poll until wednesday, when the next turn will be played.

And if we settle right on that patch of ground with natural ground fertilizers , we can send our first worker squad to a river/rolling&moist tile, still harnessing the energy resource provided by the river. As a bonus of the extra nutrient supply our population will grow sooner and we will be able to send a second worker squad sooner.

DeathByTheSword · September 10, 2002, 11:07

i say SW let our people settle as soon as possible! and we can use the new place from where we can explor this new strange world.

Maniac · September 10, 2002, 13:23

What in case of a draw as it s now?

DeathByTheSword · September 10, 2002, 14:12

the DTC decides between the two!

There's nothing like casting a tiebreaking vote...

well you have a point. we do need energy

Diablero · September 10, 2002, 21:33

What happens if there is a draw between SW and right on top?

Then we biuld SW. See the current directors' orders thread.

NW is looking like a lost cause.

The actual location of the second base is fine. I am not disappointed that my original position was defeated.
