Attendance 5 , 296 . Surely poor enough for the league to scrap the Thursday night fixture <| sep |> I hope you ' re kidding . You ' d rather stand still looking like an idiot while you ' re waiting on Anomalies to clear in a 12 s and things like that ? It ' s for DPS uptime . Do you know how much DPS uptime gain it is when you ' re not hitting your target ? Negative %.<| sep |> That could be interesting , I ' d be curious to know if zone of control already blocks settling , and then if you had a policy which boosted zone of control by a tile when considering settlers . I think I ' d be happy with that as a compromise , as it doesn ' t stop someone forward settling you if you were unprepared , but if you are patrolling your borders with say a scout , you can effectively block a new city , the only way to remove the blocker would be to declare war . Not fully fleshed out the above but I think I ' d prefer that to just you need to settle an extra tile away from me . It also means you can have military units near strategic resources you ' ve not yet settled , leading to ' settlement wars ' to try and claim territory .
