[SPOILERS] Yossarian blames Caledorn

[Caledorn]

Me
I think I like the desert better than ne actually
It still gives the corn in inner ring
But also provides cow and fp
A slightly higher maintenance hit though, but that should be evened out by the cottage we'll put on the fp?

Yossarian
So desert add the next location?

Me
If you agree with me that is
I can make a post about it in the thread
And perhaps some lurkers will comment too

Yossarian
We might have to slow walk the settler there building roads on the way

Me
Yeah, but I think the little delay could be worth it?

Yossarian
Yeah I think we can make that work

Me
We have a worker that can farm the corn immediately right?

Yossarian
Let me look at the screenshot
Yeah, we have two workers roasting in the general direction

Me
I will post this little part of our chat in the thread if you're okay with that, and post my thoughts for our lurkers

Yossarian
And we can bring two more from the south. I don't know what else to do with them
Yeah

So, my thoughts summarized for settling on the desert 1SW of the corn instead of 1NE:

• We get the corn and a fp in the inner ring
  
• The desert tile becomes a useful tile instead of a dead spot
  
• We get a cow in the outer ring
  
• We get two riverside grass tiles we can cottage in addition to the fp
  
• There's a whopping 9 forests in total in the BFC
  
• There's 4 hills - 3 plains and 1 grass - and several grass non-river tiles we can also cottage in the long run
  

We will get a slight maintenance hit since the distance to the capital is a bit farther than the site 1NE, but I think the location makes up for that with the cottageable tiles - especially the FP. We have plenty workers available that we can use to get the city up and running quickly as well.

So, lurkers with more experience than me: please correct me if I am being silly. This is, after all, a game I am meant to learn stuff from.
