You're a slightly deranged individual, Zangi - if you don't mind me saying 
And both your diagrams are wrong :)
Go 8 along and 1 up from the center.
(8x8) + (1x1) = 64
sqrt(64) = 8
8 < 10 (and is fine to settle)
Best,

No mind at all. Keeps things fresh. And, from my experience, can't exactly picture making a circle out of squares... I do have a general idea at least. (Never was interested in anything more complicated then basic math.)

Quoting for posterity. I hope the in game algorithms are this mathematically sound... ;)

Especially genius quoting as I see I managed to make 64+1 = 64. Kids: Don't Drink and Math!
(8x8) + (1x1) = 65 sqrt(65) = 8.06 8.06 < 10 (and is fine to settle) Best, SC

Wait, I thought you had to more than 10.
Shouldn't the distance (x) have to meet x>10?
I'm so confused.

I'm so amused. I find Zangi's idea of a picture to be just what is needed! After SC does all the math the right way, he needs to plot it out for us.

Oh my word.
8.06 is indeed less than 10, and so is NOT settlable.
Zangi had the right idea all along.
Here's a picture, showing where you can't move to (in red), where you can (in green) around a city in the center (in blue), hypothetically located at 0|0.
Apologies for all my confusions!
Best,
SC

Victory is mine?
Gotta keep in mind, not everyone knows more then the 'basic' math terms.

if I were to create a city in the next 9 days, would I be able to move it? this is a rather urgent question.
