Towns placement
« on: May 25, 2013, 03:54:45 am »
It looks to me, that the starting map (at least on easy difficulty) always looks the same. On this map, when you want to place a second third town you basically have only a single place for it - at the centre of the map. In the tutorial I had around a dozen towns and each new town placed was not really a choice. In many cases the would be only one location highlighted green sometimes two or three.

My question to you, players, do you find that the current mechanic is flexible enough? How do you usually place your towns?

I'd lay down a path to a new section and then build off that. Much of the map seems to be red because the location isn't connected to the mainland, not necessarily because it is the wrong distance.

I've been doing the same as zharmad. I'm sure it's not optimal since I'm new but here's what mine looks like ATM:


Basically walled off resource towns with all the military units being funneled into the tower filled highway in the center.
