The good thing about uranium is, it comes so late that you can just drop on some island without impacting the overall continent.

What's the thinking behind giving the coastal starts fewer forests? I think water tiles are generally weaker than land tiles, but I like that some folks start on the coast.

You could try to strengthen the coastal starts by changing a few water tiles to be grass and having the same number of forests. I'll look at things in greater depth in a bit.

I give coastal starts only 5 water tiles. 20-5=15 land tiles, of them, 9 are forested. I can try to fit in 2 more, but I want them to have direct access to all food. 

What I can do is cut out another water tile and replace with a grassland forest.

However, while long run a water capital may be worse, I thought the option of work-boat first was pretty powerful, and that the capitals are pretty stacked as is.

You also can more the AH resource into first ring and put a forest on the previous AH tile.

If worker has tile to improve which are least 5 food hammers, wb first will  have a hard time to equal that.WB you spend 30 hammers which disapear....,while worker keeps on giving...

Ok lazy bums






























Idk, for many of the past pitbosses, I think commdore just sent the map WB for lurkers to look at ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Charriu]

Woohoo, I'm not lazy, because I looked at the WB file

Is that a stretch of coast tiles south of the clam on that astro island?
