    Posted: 20 Apr 2012 at 00:26
I was thinking about initiating a player run contest for the best placement of a single city.  The aim would be to have the winning cities as an example for newer players to use as a model for what to look for in their city placement.

"Best" is certainly ambiguous, and this being a sandbox game, your personal opinion of what is best for your cities should prevail over a prescribed method of gameplay.  With that said, I would just like to reiterate that this thread is merely meant to serve as a reference of what to consider looking for.
so ...

There could be different categories such as:
Best production town
Best military town
Best Cav town
Best magic town
Best race specific town 
etc. 
and etc.

Consideration should be given to potential, not present circumstances.  (i.e. unclaimed sov bonuses apply, current city pop does not.)

If you nominate a town, state which category, give a coordinate Hyperlink, and a short explanation of why the town is ideal for you.

Quote the coordinate with a +1 to vote

In 1 month's time I will tally the votes and edit this post and list the winners.

Cheers
...and miles to go before I sleep.

If we can siege it, it wasn't a very well placed city, was it?
