Oh no, Pindicator forgetting to move a warrior onto the PH will be a disaster for him. frown

edit: Yep, Comm already cut him off. It's like he's choking an AI in SP.




I'm not sure what options Pin has here, other than to try to find another source of copper or horses.

I refuse to call any city sharing capital BFC tiles a "pink dot".

Your second city's BFC is going to touch his capital's BFC on turn 30...

Culture will touch, but not the BFC.

The whole term "Pink Dot" is a stupid imprecise meaning that isn't helpful. It's just a loaded term.

Oh right, I meant cultural borders, not BFC.

A "pink dot" just means an "aggressive, in-your-face early settlement" I thought.

I assume this is the origin of the term, but I haven't been around here forever.






But on a map this small I think Commodore would have had to almost settle at minimum distance from someone else's city to justify use of the phrase. Here it's simply a really tight map. Every settlement feels aggressive.

I thought Sirian coined the term waaay back when to refer to aggressive Civ 3 plants intended to box in AI and/or steal their resources? Used in the context of dots applied to a screencap via MS Paint, each dot being a different color corresponding to priority. Pinks were typically reach sites. Or something like that. I'm not certain, but I think it's been around for a long time.

Buddhist and Hindu holy cities fighting each other for BFC culture is totally epic... hope Pin adds a spear to the mix.
