I say Yellow... but I'm tempted to say Green as well... I'll listen to the vets first

I’d go with yellow too. It’s got the ocean and beaver. And that’s a pretty good combo.

Takes to long to get to yellow. Lets just build at red. Rabbit style.

If we do go so far as yellow, would it not be better to go one more North so that we would gain the Pearl of Great Price.

Red. And Nimrod --- Please build that Phalanx Bn ASAP... We may not run into any barbarians this early, but with 15 other warring nations wandering about the world, the chances aren't bad that one of their scouts will come our way -- and we are undefended with our lone warrior so far away from home.

Yellow is perfect: no overlap with Atlantis and leaves enough room for a 3rd city in the north (which can pick up the Pearl).

And yes - build a phalanx as soon as possible.

Yellow is a mistake. Go for Red. This is one major key to making a strong civilization as fast as possible. Many players make this mistake of not wanting to "overlap" their city tiles. Some players humorously dismiss rapid growth as "rabbit" strategy -- this is a mistake as well. Believe me -- Forget about "overlap" and
"asthetics" if you want to build a strong civilization that will overpower your enemies. Build fast and strong -- GO RED!

This is a democracy, CheckMate -- Adds to the challenge! All we can do is try to persuade, and then work with what the masses give us

The official name is ICS (Infinite City Syndrome/Sleaze/Sprawl/Strategy) and it's an extremely effective strategy in Civ2 - but by many regarded a form of cheating (or at leasting ruining the fun). In CtP1 it's effectiveness is very much limited by the city limit. Although it still has its advantages, I don't think they outweigh the disadvantages (of ruining the fun of the game).

Say No To War ICS!

What? I don't understand how it takes the fun out of the game to play the best strategy. Of course agains AI maybe something more Aesthetically pleasing is pleasant. But if you want to win, use rabbit.

I thought one of the main points of this democracy was to learn how to play CTP better. With comments like "stuff the best way" and "sleaze sprawl" and "cheating strategy" I'm beginning to wonder... maybe that isn't the main point of this DG. Have fun!
