Should players be allowed to build cities on Mountain hexes? - Page 7

I would consider La Paz, Bolivia a city built on a mountain hex. Population 713,000 (1997) metro 1.2 million, elevation 3630 meters (11,910 feet). Administrative capital and largest city in that country.

The city itself is actually in a valley, with a nearby plateau another 1400 feet up and nearby peaks extending over 20,000 feet. A third of the area of the country is above 10,000 ft. Over half of Bolivia's population lives at those heights. If you're looking for a nearby special square, add Lake Titicaca at 12,500 ft.

In short, if I was designing a historic scenario, both La Paz and it's Incan predecessor Tiahuanaco would be in a mountain hex. No second choice comes close.

I still don't know why you're talking about hexes although the game deals with squares...

Whatever everyone is smoking pass it my way!

Ming · April 12, 2000, 22:08

I just couldn't pass this up...

This was just posted by AH in the MP thread section:

"Actually, um, I build mountain cities - but don't tell anyone on the civ general forum "

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

You might've fallen for it, methinks, Ming.

I'm so glad I won this argument, against so much opposition too

Mark von Wagner · April 24, 2000, 01:25

IMHO, by making that snide remark, you just lost the argument.

April 26, 2000, 18:13

You're the one who made the snide remark Mark the nazi!

Mark von Wagner · April 27, 2000, 01:19

Why are you referring to me as a Nazi?

April 27, 2000, 07:43

Don't oppress me!

Ming · April 27, 2000, 08:05

AH... you must have mistaken these on topic forums for the OTF. If all you are going to do is insult people, go and do it on the OTF, not here. If you are going post on topic, why don't you not call people nazi's or pussies...

Excuse me? Can't you read? He called me snide. Where is his reprimand?

Bird · April 28, 2000, 16:27

gets the old bugle out and starts blowing taps......

April 28, 2000, 23:25

Its not over yet Bird.

April 29, 2000, 02:49

I do not think that "snide" is in the same class of descriptive words that "nazi" and "*****" are.

April 29, 2000, 05:51

You left me the honour of the 200th post? How kind

Jim W · April 29, 2000, 21:41

I believe that somewhere in the last four pages of gratuitous silliness it was mentioned that a hex, (even a square one) takes up several miles, maybe even several hundred miles.

A mountain city, therefore need not be protrayed as teetering precariously on the pinnacle, but more likely in a valley.

The valley, as in the city of Kelowna, British Columbia, is high abouve sea level, definitely on a mountain hex. And worse, it has a river running through it.

All you mathematical warmakers, give me the figures, and I'll send a note to the mayor of Kelowna letting him know what his odds are with pikemen against Armour.

Unfortunately, Kelowna doesn't have walls. On the other hand, it's a Democracy, so you can't incite revolt there.

Mark von Wagner · April 30, 2000, 00:28

About 4.6% for non-veteran armor and non-veteran pikemen, .007% against veteran armor with non-veteran pikemen, 52.2% for non-veteran armor against veteran pikemen, and 6.1% for veteran armor attacking veteran pikemen.

F*ck this thread bores me. Anyone else fell the same way?

finbar · April 30, 2000, 20:45

If ever I've read a desperate attempt to kick a dying thread into a 6th page, that's it.

Horse, you dead yet? You guys have flogged this thread for 5 pages!!!! i couldn't even be bothered to finish reading the 1st, before i skipped to the last one!??!

I've personally never built a mountain city, but i don't have a problem with it!!!

You're worse than my brother!!! he argues just to piss me off! I bet you secretly like mountain cities, and you're just bored!!

Someone said it on page 1, plain as day!!! if you don't like it, don't play. or better still if they do it, obliterate their whole god damn civilization, and just leave them with the mountain city and see how they do with that?!?!
