Ideally we want alliance-mates in the immediate vicinity, or at least in the same ocean, to better support one another. No problem.
Assuming there are no other alliance members near me, and my first city dropped in a quiet spot on the map...
1a) Do folks suggest building a 7-city hub around your first city? (other guides have mentioned 6 or 7 cities do a good job specializing and supporting each other)
Or
1b) letting your first city be vulnerable, and have your first CS motor over to the area that your alliance wants to focus on?
Or
1c) do you take a middle road... just build 3 or 4 cities around nearby islands... then conquer additional cities around the area your alliance wants to secure?
(yeah, yeah... this assumes I don't get rimmed... ignores the fact that my isolated area might become prize real estate with some alliance mates joining me here... assumes my quiet neighbourhood continues to be overlooked by hostiles who are seeking more strategically situated islands)
2) Am I on track with this strategy to secure my neighbourhood first, or am I waaaay off base? Constructive criticism welcome.
Thank you! Happy gaming,
