Haven't spotted in this thread any reply to an earlier question about someone possibly settling a location while your city is lumbering towards it. This is something I was wondering myself.The obvious answer is that an initiated move locks in that location. But is that the case? Otherwise, great! |
As above...

I started a city move and found that the 'population required for the next city' has come down because you are reported to have one city less (as your one city is on the move). Isn't this a bug?

I remember seeing that it could be possible to attack moving cities at some stage. This is impossible now as moving cities are invisible and of course the option is not there. Does that not give a great advantage to players moving now, compared to those that move when attack is available?

The game is always in flux, and taking certain actions will always be a "maybe better now, maybe better later" affair. When it is better now, keep in mind that people who wait have no reason to feel entitled to the benefits of historic conditions. You can't have evolution without change. Besides which, players who come later will certainly get to skip various unrelated hardships as well.

[03:09]<Stanczyk> if someone uses their free move onto a spot, does it permanently leave that land there if they exodus off of it?
So: Can you move your capital city onto a spot using Tenaril's spell, convert whatever that is into the configuration of your capital, and then move your city using Exodus, thereby essentially terraforming a spot? Or does it revert to the configuration it had before you used Tenaril's spell to move there?

Since the square type is not changed when you teleport a city onto it, I'm fairly certain that once you move the city again using Exodus, the square will return to normal.
Or rather, I think the type and number of resource plots of a square is checked only when the city is created. Therefore when you teleport your city, you don't actually change the tile, and the city keeps its resource plots because the check is only performed when it's created (or when you use exodus).

Something is amiss, since the program allowed me to move to a square adjacent to another city. The city was not there a week ago, a caravan was blocking the city on the map when I doubled checked (had this location scouted for more than one month) and now I'm locked into a four day move to a location I shouldn't have been allowed to move. Not pleased right now, the point of the move was to get out of a congested area and have space for increased sov.
Also, the pop is not fixed. My city is in transit and my pop has decreased by that city's pop preventing me from starting my 9th city (on Aradil). :(
Just be VERY careful on your moves until they fix these problems.

What happens if a player's city is exodusing and all the remaining cities are razed?
Does the last city continue to its destination?
