I'd be willing to take the place of a player at this point (either for autoing for full replacement).

[Squeegy]

I would rather not put you in the Easterner faction. No offense, but you'd probably perform way too well there. If scapheap or SD ever drop out, though, I'd be happy to have you.

[lemon10]

Heh. Hehehe. Ahahahaa. Muhuhuahaha.
Yeah, things would probably end fairly badly for everyone else if I took the Easterners.

Also, suggestions for everyone:
You typically want to build your cities so that you can improve the maximum amount of land with the minimum amount of city population.
In addition, you also typically want to avoid building cities so that any one point is connected to multiple cities, because it makes things much harder tactically for you if an enemy can choose any of multiple cities to attack.

[Pencil_Art]

Thanks for the advice. My cities are way too bunched together.

[Squeegy]

I'd be willing to move people's cities to another claimed spot for Turn 15 and Turn 16 only if they feel they've made a tactical error. Limited time offer!

[lemon10]

Yeah, typically you want each city to be alone in its improvement building area (until late game where you run out of area to expand too).
Its not super easy to make them fit right due to how they have a range of sqrt(5) at pop 4+ instead of a proper square, but its possible to some degree with a small amount of overlap.
E: Scratch that. My experience as Ireland isn't helpful here, since your goal isn't to expand as fast as humanly possible at the expense of everything else. Significant overlap is fine, but you do want to avoid having cities directly adjacent to a central point, at least while you can avoid it.

Guess I'm Easterners now.

Welcome back, Pencil_Art.

[Rolepgeek]

Could you change the player for Easterners to be Rolepgeek if I'm going to be replacing Criptfiend, Squeegy?

Thank you. Not a big deal, really, just little things that help.
