I think this is ridiculous, especially in multiplayer games.

You think building on a mountain is ridiculous, A.H.? How so? Why would it not be allowed? Actually surprised to see this from you.

My point is its not realistic or sporting.

It's very realistic: look at all the fortresses in Greece and Asia Minor, and all the trouble people went to to laying seige to them...
If you want to take a mountain city, by all means, use bribery. Or, if you'd rather, fortify a whole bunch of units around their city, doing nothing else, and they'll starve out.
Whining about people building well defended cities is on par with complaining about the existance of city walls, or phalanxs, for that matter. If you can't take a city, beseig it and take the surrounding lands...

I'm not whining about it, I'm sayings its wrong, almost a form of cheating in multiplayer games. Single player games, I don't care. And look at the examples - LHasa, Gibraltar, wow!

1. Cities are not built on mountains.
2. See point 1.
Lhasa for example is not built on a mountain, it is built in a mountain valley (like most so-called mountain cities). Gibraltar is a town not a city.
Sorry but I find it hard to justify the bleeeding obvious. I am not opposed to building forts on mountains.

Just because a game square is represented as a mountain on the map does not mean that every inch of represented territory is mountainous. It means the majority of area in that representative square is mountainous.
Therefore, building a city on a mountain square seems totally reasonable to me, as it would include such things as valleys. If we are tying to be reasonable, very few single squares, and all the land they represent, could ever be comprised one single land feature, with the possible exception of ocean squares.

It's a hard argument to grasp, A.H.
Really, you think their are no mountain cities in the world? Heard of skiing?

I just find it really hard to believe that you want to force other people, specifically, the whole civ2 mp community, to ignore mountain squares as city sites.
You said that there aren't any cities built on mountains, yet, in the same sentence, you say that Gibraltar was a town, not a city.
So there have been small cities built on mountains, but you will only allow us to build on mountains if we can name a metropolis that was?
Okay, smart guy, if ya wanna get technical, the entire chain of Hawaiian islands is a mountain, when measured from it's undersea base. Thus, Honolulu is technically a city built on a mountain.
Do you really want to keep pushing this point on us?

Furthermore, if you want to take the idea that your view of history should dictate what civ2 mp players can and cannot do, then why not say that no person playing the Romans can successfully fend off a player playing the Germans? Or make a house rule that, from now on, the Mongols cannot build any ships.
Or better yet, why not say that each civ is forever restricted to one government, and start whinying when they switch governments...
Or say that the Egyptians are the only ones who can build the Pyramids...
:P

I never build cities on mountains. What's the point? It's ridiculous and I have greater confidence in my army than some.

No building cities on mountains is pointless, you build forts on mountains and stack Alpines up there.
