	A builder's strategy in multiplayer ? Experiment in the PtW Demogame Enter the AD-FREE zone

Hi !
It's my first post on the strategy forum, and I'm not directly talking about strategy

As you know it, a Democracy Game is setting up in multiplayer, in the PtW Democracy Game forum. I am a member of the builder's team (now named Legoland) and I come to inform you on our team.

We want to play the game with a builder strategy (although not an extremist one). This can be especially interesting because MP is rumored to be an early slaughterhouse where builder strategy has no chance. However, we in the team believe this can be proven wrong.

The Legoland team is an interesting experiment to know how far a builder policy can go in a MP Democracy Game, and it will teach us much for the coming multisite Democracy Game. Also, having several builder's thinking together can overall increase our general skill in building, like the SP Democracy Game increased the general skill of its members at Civ3.
If you are a builder who wants to apply this strategy in a challenging environment, the Legoland team is for you !

Your doin' just fine Spiff. And let me say, building defintely has its place, just as war and diplomacy do.

I hope you find a few members.

I would try to place the cities on hills and actually ON the strategic resources if possible. This will better allow you to survive a siege by the warmongers and prevent at least one city from being cut off from the resource tile.

Can't say that I've tried it but it would seem a logical strategy.
