City Planning poll

Makahlua · September 22, 2003, 06:33

Alright, we need some kind of consensus here! The various sites below have been discussed in this thread now the Viking people must decide

Times out at beginning of next chat! And please only vote for each letter ONCE.

Note: this is a multiple choice poll, too!

Torkkeli · September 22, 2003, 08:45

Voted A,B',C,D',E and Y

Why? IMHO they utilize the land best.

Although now that I think of it, it would have been better to make it D instead of D'.
Or perhaps make D'' sw of D.

joncnunn · September 22, 2003, 12:00

Voted A, B'', C, D', E', and Y

With least amount of certinately with B''. (I'm concerned that B' might not have access to fresh water, while certain the B'' does)

On order to found these cities:

1. A
2. Y
3. B''
4. C

I think that decisions between D / D' and E / E' shouldn't be finalized until we figure what tiles it's possible to have the next city past there on at all, given those mountain tiles.

Also, is there an AI present in that southern landmass with all those cows and wheat?

Where is the map with Alpha, Beta, Delta, Epsilon, Y and Z? I can't find it and I can't remember I have seen it.

joncnunn · September 22, 2003, 16:18

See Where to Place our 3rd Vickie City? 2nd page.

hi ,

E , Y , D

have a nice day

Rhothaerill · September 22, 2003, 17:17

A and Z to continue with a 4/4.5 RCP placement.

G'Kar · September 22, 2003, 18:59

Per Niessuh's RCP figure: A & Z.

Also the tile directly S of B'' is a good city site.

GhengisFarb™ · September 22, 2003, 21:08

What's with all the RCP loving whackos?

Its a Democracy game not a flipping calculus test!

MrWhereItsAt · September 22, 2003, 22:56

Voted A Z C B D E, in that order.

A and Z are closest, decent positions and fit the RCP (a minor reason for me). C gets cows and wheat! Woohoo! B gets the gems for us as soon as we have a road there and is fairly placed between the others. D or D' are almost the same, but D is slightly further from C meaning for less swapping round of tiles. E gets all that wheat and Cows.

Although, since there are so many wheat tiles there, the NE one could be used if we move B SE or S one tile...

Anyway, most importanr choices for the coming turnchat - A and Z, then C.

Panzer32 · September 23, 2003, 00:14

uhh... is Z on a mountain?

Because it's a valid strategy. And I think the corruption will be redone in Conquests to make it no longer viable. So use it while you can.

WhiteBandit · September 23, 2003, 03:16

Z seems pretty good in my opinion. Not just for RCP placement, but defensive placement as well. Plus it's close to the core and will be productive, judging from the tiles around it.

theViking · September 23, 2003, 04:36

Add one for "C", I didn't see it.

Epistax · September 23, 2003, 08:33

I assumed we're not voting for the next one. Either way A is ahead so it's all good.

mrboo123 · September 23, 2003, 09:06

I want:

Alpha, C, any D (science city), and E

joncnunn · September 23, 2003, 11:48

The problem with RCP is that ignores the fact that there are several tiles that wouldn't be worked at all under that plan because the city sites under RCP that would work them are underwater.

This game cannot be updated to conquests. There are too many changes to all civs, the tech tree, etc. etc. etc. that make it unfair and unreasonable to change. This game started with PtW rules and will have to finish using them. Sorry.

That's kind of what I meant. Once Conquests is out, most everyone will probably be using that. So this will most likely be the last PTW based democracy game and hence the last one to be able to use RCP if we go with that.

BTW, I'm not a huge RCP freak. I've only recently started using it. But if the terrain makes sense to use it, why not use it?

joncnunn · September 23, 2003, 16:45

I'm arguing that the terraign in the northern portion of our landmass results in RCP not making sense.

joncnunn · September 23, 2003, 16:46

Which is why are argued for a smaller map with less civs.
