The City Square
The terrain a city occupies is especially important, because it is always being worked.
You cannot take the workforce off this square when moving citizens around on the City
Display.
The City Radius
The potential area of development, called the City Radius, extends out from a city in
an area three map squares wide—two squares to the northeast, northwest, southwest,
and southeast.The resulting “radius” looks like a fat X. The citizens of the city can
work any square in this radius if it’s within the city’s borders to produce food,commerce,
and shields.If the population gets large enough,you could have them working the entire
area.
For the city’s population to survive and grow, the radius must encompass terrain that
the citizenry can cultivate to produce food. Grasslands and Plains are naturally the
most fecund, and you can increase the agricultural output of most terrain types with
irrigation.
