Unless you hear differently we are going to Burgundy

Everyone should have their maximum number of cities for the merge, but they are going to need at least 1 free space for making NPCs.

Everyone should attempt to place their cities at co-ordinates which are multiples of 10 (ie 010,610 020,620 030,630) or as close as flat availability allows. This not only gives everyone room to farm, but lets us squeeze in the maximum number of cities and also ensures that you have friendly cities in close proximity. If someone does not have a free slot, then it would be better if they gave away a city. The ability to make NPCs quickly is very vital. This server (if the map is staying the same size) is going to be crowded.

As soon as the new server is open we start placing our cities asap. As soon as we can, start taking flats around these cities npcing the ones at the right level and holding the others to prevent others moving in. These can be released before server maintenance to pop a level and recapture

We want to get a strong foothold in the state, then others may think about moving elsewhere; rather than us having to move elsewhere

If people have heroes they want to give away, then now is the time to do it. I don’t think it even matters what your title is, I think on previous merges all captured heroes became yours

Right now everyone should be making sure that their wall defenses are full and they have troops to defend every city

If anyone has any questions or ideas, tell them to please ask. The 10x10 placement worked to a degree last time but too many people weren’t really sure. If people want to put their own cities closer together they can, but try not to infringe on your neighbors farming areas
