[SPOILERS] Yossarian blames Caledorn

[YossarianLives]

If you take the eastern one they'll find it harder to culturally steal the corn. If you want to annoy agg Rome...

That line of tiles with the corn and copper is 5 tiles east of our capital, and 9 tiles west of the Roman capital. I hope they wouldn't be annoyed by either city on our side of the corn. I'm hoping that this isn't even a border city with them, but maybe that's being too optimistic.

Turn 36:

More food down south looks pretty nice. I'll go SW-SW with our scout next turn.

Would expanding to the west be more productive until you need the extra happy?

Those overview shots give an updated view of our surroundings. If we settle west, we'd probably go for the dry corn, and originally that was the next city I was planning. But then I changed the micro so the next settler is coming out of Silent Neighbor, and I figured it might be better to send him east rather than backtrack north and west. Plus, the earlier we can start working that gold, the better. We really need a boost to our economy. I'm receptive to arguments for the west, though, if you guys think that would be better. The settler isn't completing until T45, but the worker micro will start gearing towards the eastern city pretty soon so now's the time to decide.

Demos and graphs and whatnot:

Hmm, that power spike kind of looks like an Axe, no? Gladiator's haven't settled a second city yet, so that would mean they have copper in Rome's BFC. Hopefully that means no iron?

Lots of pop increases this turn. Orgy's capital grew to size 5, Afrique's capital grew to size 4, Care Bears grew but I'm not sure if it's their cap or second city, and Eagles & Condor's settled their second city.
