Palace jumping

Have you seen that Dave Mc has finally figured exactly how you can calculate where your palace goes.

For each city calculate:

No of citizens in city (including foreigners) + 1/3(number of your cities within 8 squares of that city.)

Biggest number gets the palace.

(edited formula)

thanx!

Nice.

Oops I left a factor of 1/3 out of formula

Citizens + (1/3 * neighbours )

This pushes the whole 'is it an exploit?' debate towards it being an exploit...

Actually, I thought it was an exploit before... I have almost always known which city I would get the capital in. And I havn't done the palace jump for ages...

That explains why my last attempt went, er... awry

I just keep my capital where it is, or move it where the majority of my cities are to increase gold and shields.
