Minister of Imperial Expansion report

atawa · October 6, 2002, 08:17

Since our rate of expansion is toning down as we are preparing for rep my job gets a lot easyer this month

My recommendation is we halt new citybuilding untill we have rep under controll, using the existing settlers for improving the land and roadbuilding.

However, there is the question on what we do with the settler east of Canton.

We basicly have 5 choices:

1, Build on the forrest, giving us a navalbase with a whale.

2, build a road back to our city's for future caravan movement.

3, wait untill our explorers find a better spot on the island and build there.

4, wait untill the tiremme delivers the caravan to Chinese and then hop on board to find new islands to settle.

5, the option I forgot

let it take a look around in the airea and settle on a good spot...

(forest could be ok)

How about clear the forest, then build there?

i vote for looking around more, i think we can find a better spot to build

A city so isolated from our capital would have severe corruption problems (like our existing remote cities). Surely we can find a better spot for a city. Put the Settler on the Trireme and use him closer to home.

I am more in favour of sending out an exploration mission with the tiremme/warrior/settler combo.

We might get one of those 1 tile islands with a whale close to one of the other civs witch could serve us as a base for further exploration and tecgtrading/stealing

A- I think we should bulid a city where the red dot is to pretve are emeines from using it as a beach head, and its close to the cap.:

mrboo123 · October 6, 2002, 16:12

I also think we should build cities here, for the same reason as Part 1:

Uh, John, do you have some particular dislike of cities with resources in them? LOL!

Hydey · October 6, 2002, 18:12

Perhaps the foreign minister could spend time with foreign affairs instead of imperial expansion.

I just had an idea, OK!

Although I don't lie city gaps near our heartland either, john, perhaps we should get all the whales we can before looking to boring grasslands.

I was going to vote for the cit on the forest, but I have been dazzled with the idea of finding a perfect city site elsewhere! You'd better not disappoint me, now...

And it is more reason to build more Triremes too!

City Planner - I hope you're watching....

I think we should continue our expansion course and build new cites. But you are right the place isn't the best after all so our settler should walk around a little bit and try to find a better place.

If you look at the map you'll see that the whale is 2 tiles up so it doesnt fall into the cityradius.
