| Total New World population: 17,101,000
broken up as follows (city size in parenthesis):
Logrono(14): 1,618,000
Santander(16): 2,352,000
Palma(16): 2,352,000
Pamplona(11): 823,000
Vitoria(13): 1,315,000
Jaen(11): 823,000
Cadiz(1): 1,000
Asturias(16): 2,352,000
Zamora(10): 630,000
Almeria(8): 337,000
Valladolid(12): 1,051,000
Teruel(15): 1,963,000
Alicante(3): 21,000
Burgos(1): 1,000
Lugo(5): 90,000
Elche(2): 6,000
Mida(4): 48,000
Leon(13): 1,315,000
It's all about the big cities, seeing how geometrically the city population increases with city size. I managed to settle almost all of the southern New World continent and about half the northern, but most northern cities were very small by the time the game ended (the cities are listed by latitude, from south to north). Had I realized quickly enough to focus on bigger rather than more, I might have won. As well as founded the Sushi Co in the New World rather than the old; had I done that, I might have actually got it established there in time to affect the outcome of the game. |

| I noticed that afterwards as well, but thought I'd say so after the month was over.  Figured someone new might take this one if that strategy wasn't well known. I built 30 cities in the New World, but most weren't very large and you can see that fewer but larger cities was much more important. I think in hind-sight, sending several boatloads over with workers to farm land and make cities bigger, would be smarter than spamming the New World with settlers like I did.
To me, the biggest challenge in this game was not kicking my neighbors' arses.  I soooo wanted to. Especially France after they attacked me. Had to keep in mind that it would only make winning with these victory conditions harder. Did anyone think this, but kick their neighbor's butt anyways?
I founded multiple religions in my capitol before expanding and spammed missionaries out so I could have extra gold for the New World. The idea was to have my capital produce a ton of cash from those religious buildings and then drop Wall Street in my capital to double all that money. I was doing very well on money even after 30 cities in the New World alone. Since we're now sharing strategies... hehe... communism provides a much easier way to maintain the required money level. |
