Contest: Best City Placement

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


         I was thinking about initiating a player run contest for the best placement of a single city.  The aim would be to have the winning cities as an example for newer players to use as a model for what to look for in their city placement.
        
         

        
        
         "Best" is certainly ambiguous, and this being a sandbox game, your personal opinion of what is best for your cities should prevail over a prescribed method of gameplay.  With that said, I would just like to reiterate that this thread is merely meant to serve as a reference of what to consider looking for.
        
        
         so ...
        
        
         

        
        
         There could be different categories such as:
        
        
         Best production town
        
        
         Best military town
        
        
         Best Cav town
        
        
         Best magic town
        
        
         Best race specific town 
        
        
         etc. 
        
        
         and etc.
        
        
         

        
        
         Consideration should be given to potential, not present circumstances.  (i.e. unclaimed sov bonuses apply, current city pop does not.)
        
        
         

        
        
         If you nominate a town, state which category, give a coordinate Hyperlink, and a short explanation of why the town is ideal for you.
        
        
         

        
        
         Quote the coordinate with a +1 to vote
        
        
         

        
        
         In 1 month's time I will tally the votes and edit this post and list the winners.
        
        
         

        
        
         Cheers
