civ 5 city spread

[themaniac]

my question is how many tiles do you usually have between each city

[thekeemo]

1 between each city

A city can work itself plus 3 tiles. So 7 tiles away for first city. No less than 4. Depends on the location.

I don't really keep track of tile distance, usually it's whatever looks visually appealing. (or if I spot a natural wonder/resources I HAVE to grab). The way I play, my capital tends to focus on some key early wonders before I bother making my first settler. mainly those that bring extra food and gold to my empire.

 

 

10+ ... kind of Russian style

 

You crazy crazy Spaniard you! o:

It really depends, IMO your first expand should always be to grab something you don't already own, that could mean it could be anywhere from 4 spaces away to 10 spaces away really.

I usually don't leave much space between cities, I like tight clusters of cities. Of course if there's some resource I need I might build a city further away but usually I try to avoid that.

3-city build spread as far as culture and influence and trade is allowed, no open borders, ALL THE WONDERS.

 

Ghandi hates you.  Also works rather well with Rameses!

Depends, just quite a few to when I expand my empire that much they won't connect after growing once.
