Suggestions for new cities are sought?

[Fireram]

Hi:

Are we going to find level 5 ground?

What will be the criteria for selecting a site to build new cities?

Higher levels offer more space inside the city. Does higher level city offer better protection if the same kinds of defence building are built?


Thanks,

Fireram, you seem to have a very general question going on here with several specific points so I will do my best to answer them.

Are we going to find level 5 ground?
Yes, it should be very possible to find level 5 terrain tiles. Many people have their cities on these tiles, just look around.

What will be the criteria for selecting a site to build new cities?
This entirely depends on what your motives are. Perhaps you are looking for more resource deposits, others are looking for terrain max level, others are looking at the starting cell amount. Also depends on the proximity to other cities and your enemies. There are many things to factor when deciding where to settle a new city.

Higher levels offer more space inside the city. Does higher level city offer better protection if the same kinds of defence building are built?
The only thing the lvl 5 city center does is allow a starting cell size to be higher ( so you don't have to research City Expansion to max a city out ) as well as allow for more population to live in the center building with slightly increased wood and population growth ( negligible ).
It does not provide better defenses.
