What to colonize...

[KnightFall]

I started this day in realm 4... maybe u can suggest what to colonize... I think Im following hiske's low point strategy but with a bit of twist.... I'll box province 7, and the plains surrounding it will be the backbone of my economy.... pretty good eh?

 

[kingjohn]

Next one is plains with forests trust me on that.

Box mountain would be the best. 

But if no mountains to be boxed, next option was mountains with forest, if it wasn't also available, Hills would be good too. 

 

[Hiske]

you have a perfect map! I think you should go for 12, 6 and 7 first and then 7 (so you have a boxed mountain) and after that only colonize more plains or plains w/f

[Revelation]

yes, its true. 

You are very lucky to have a perfect map 

How I wish to have such a map 

[KnightFall]

hmmmm..... okay.... IM proud of my self!! lol... so I should box province 7 first? then colonize the plains?

[Hiske]

read better:

you have a perfect map! I think you should go for 12, 6 and 7 first and then 7 (so you have a boxed mountain) and after that only colonize more plains or plains w/f

first the plains; then the mountain; then plains again

[Jirelav]

First plains to get more population and production. But not mountains to late, so that you can build bureocracy fast enough. It is not nice to have productivity 20% in central province 

[KnightFall]

thank you all for the suggestions..

this will be the summary of what Im going to do:

-get centralization ASAP
-only build Fortress 1 on the plains
-colonize a plain then the mountain
-Grow resources ASAP
-Grow a good economy
-Attack, Attack and Attack

now my only problem now is the researches... What do u think my researches are if Im going military?

[kingjohn]

Let me tell you why u should colonize first five provinces as plains, since beureaucracy lvl 14 gives 100% efficiency for first five provinces, you should do plains so if anyone pillages you it will not blow your economy so bad and it will heal faster from pillages. Just my honest opinion. I usually walled in my mountain province as the eight or nine provinces. Of course I am an economy player and I talk from the economic point of view.

King please read again this topic...you'll find out something very nice
And KnightFall, it's not hiske's low point strategy, she never played so low, thought she finished with less than 1500 points

[Hiske]
