"Superdeath seems to have acquired a rep for aggression somehow. [Image: noidea.gif] In this game that's going to help us because he's going to go to the negotiating table with twitchy eyes and slightly too wide a grin and terrify the neighbors into favorable border agreements, one-sided tech deals and staggered NAPs."

Quote:I'm really intrigued by this. TBS, I was really afraid of sinking my early game research with all these cities planted so far from the capital early on. That plus happiness concerns was why I settled north first. I know this was a long time ago to remember, but do you recall what the expenses looked like after that plant? Was I just scared of ghosts and I just needed to push on to settle it regardless?

I've lost my saves so I'm not sure. IIRC, I used that cows/wheat city to springboard to the gems, they chopped out the settler as soon as the two resources were improved. You can see we're down at 13gpt already which isn't great but I think you have to take the hit sometime. Generally I'd continue to push such high value food/hammer sites and recover once they're online. Math bulb could also be an option in those types of scenarios.
