Quoting psychoravin, reply 56I'm not fearing city spam so much now as I am fearing city GLUT (spreading out so far all the cities are touching one another or nearly.) What's the use of pioneers when all you need to do is expand your borders?
Pioneers probably become obsolete now. Except for founding cities, of course.
That's all Pioneers do now too. Found cities.
Well I personally like the change and have no problem with city spam or how close they are to each other (never understood why some people don't like this) However I would like to see Forts/Watchtowers etc added to the game for expaning territory and to kkep general watch on the land without having to build a city. You can have the pioneer build these. Could also give bonuses depending on the structure being built.....Forts would have more area control and give higher defensive binuses to station troop than Watch Towers. Watch towers can be cheaper to build than forts and can see more of the surrounding area than forts etc.
You could also allow watchtowers to be upgraded to forts and forts to cities for a fee.
