You can only build cities on flats.

Do this flats benefit from forrests/swamps/... around or how do these terrains benefit my production anyways.

btw... thanks for the fast reply

You do have to have special ranks to build a second city, put your mouse over the "Build City" icon to the right of where you'd enter text in chat, in the column where your city is listed.

You can only build on conquered flats though, forests and deserts and all of those are purely bonuses for resource collection. Because you conquered it you will have increased lumber production. Just make sure to recall your troops because they eat more while sitting in a valley.

I see, you only have to "own" for example a forrest to get the bonus for all towns.

All questions answered. Thank you.

Edit: One more question, what does it give to build on a higher lv. flat?

I own a Lv 3 Forrest, 9% increase in lumber as of tonight... I thought I could enter.. no can do.. it keeps asking me to reinforce or abandon.!! 3 times i have sent a soldier in... now i realize , no city..

So, can anyone 'take' this from me? if so, how do I protect it? soldiers cant live in trees! (well, they can, but not in this game, can they?)

For valleys (grasslands, forests, hills, swamps, lakes, deserts) that are not flats, you cannot take any action with them except to abandon or reinforce.

The production bonus you get for your resource fields from these valleys is only for the city that you sent the successful attack from. It does not apply to all your cities. (Each city can attack and possess its own valleys.)

Yes, other players can take the valley from you by attacking it. It really isn't practical to dispatch troops to "protect" the valley because they consume twice as much food when they are camping outside your city. Also, a player with a larger army could attack the valley and you'd lose your troops in addition to losing the valley.

Building a city on a higher level flat does absolutely nothing for you. The only difference it makes is if you abandon the city later on, the city will convert into an NPC city that is the same level as the flat you originally built your city on.
