It's now a year I am playing this game, and I am still playing, so it is time to share some knowledge. Well, English is not my native language, so please forgive me if I am not that good explaining. The sheet I am presenting here was not kept secret, it is used in H? and T?, and probably, as T? spread members in every alliance, it is used in other alliances too. But publishing it here I think more people will know... Many people found the sheet to be valuable, so I hope you will too. I know other people have something similar, or may be better. This is what I use, feel free to get it or not :-) I will support the sheet, until I use it, so probably until I play the game. This is from now on, the official link to the official sheet: http://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AumwLJzwY-1pdFRORHJwMXRmVXJBd2ZFSHloU0lyX0E" rel="nofollow - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AumwLJzwY-1pdFRORHJwMXRmVXJBd2ZFSHloU0lyX0E It's a google doc sheet, you cannot edit it, but you can use "File"->"Make a Copy" to have your own google doc copy, or just "File"->"Download as" to download the spreadsheet and use it locally on your computer. I prepared a document with a walk through, read it before to try using the sheet: http://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-mwLJzwY-1pMzhaWmNUalRraXc" rel="nofollow - https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-mwLJzwY-1pMzhaWmNUalRraXc or http://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-mwLJzwY-1pMzhaWmNUalRraXc/preview?pli=1" rel="nofollow - https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-mwLJzwY-1pMzhaWmNUalRraXc/preview?pli=1 Please use this thread to ask questions, report bugs or errors, give suggestions.... -------------

The open URL for the PDF manual asked me to login, here's a read-only https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-mwLJzwY-1pMzhaWmNUalRraXc/preview?pli=1" rel="nofollow - variant of this PDF working without account. Very interesting, at a first glance, thanks. Hopefully folks know that sov distances (4|0) and (4|1) are cheaper than (3|3), but typically still far too expensive for hungry 5-food towns...

It's a google doc sheet, you cannot edit it, but you can use "File"->"Make a Copy" to have your own google doc copy, or just "File"->"Download as" to download the spreadsheet and use it locally on your computer.

Wow, neat ideas in here. I especially like the sov grid. Much nicer than the array I used in Excel. Got me so interested I started messing around with Google docs and ended up with a different take on the entire thing. Not sure if it's helpful or not but I'll share it too as a way to say thank you. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao6l7avI4cJvdG8zV2s1UzRXOXh0dEZWZnFFOXlGaVE" rel="nofollow - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao6l7avI4cJvdG8zV2s1UzRXOXh0dEZWZnFFOXlGaVE Sal |

mCrow have this one (just a screenshot attached) - it's missing the tax slider, but gives a reasonably good feel for the food-generating potential of a square. Uniquely, this one:

I really appreciate it Salararius, and I like some of the approach, especially the buildings tables. I am about to start a new version to fit some more things and adjust the sheet, I will probably use some of your approach :-) Thanks ! -------------

Look as a nice tool to address sovereignty decisions. I would like to have a private talk with you about it, will send IGM. -------------

I realized that I could easily add production rates and basic resources usage (from production) pretty easily. I added that so you can now see how many spears, cows, etc... your cities will be capable of producing. |

JimJams, could you implement advanced resource production cost into your city planer like it is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApL1rFFXeNNtdEoxNVRPZEpTeGYxNm5XdHRYdWNWVHc&hl=en_US#gid=0" rel="nofollow - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ApL1rFFXeNNtdEoxNVRPZEpTeGYxNm5XdHRYdWNWVHc&hl=en_US#gid=0
Especially food costs for cows and horses can effect city size. ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/95216" rel="nofollow"> |

| import food to produce cows and horses. it will more than pay for itself if you sell a percentage. I don't think that should be a factor in city planning, personally |
