However, this would actually not speed up our worker (it would take 12 turns, plus the turn moving, and gives us no overflow) compared to if we plant on the plains hill. From the Civ/Leader Picking Thread:
Right. I guess what I meant was that there is nowhere that we can get the EXP bonus before border-popping and still settle on T0. And I missed that you already said that in the other thread
Another (small) bonus of settling in place is that when borders pop we can work the 1/2/1 plains spice tile, which gives us 1cpt while building our worker.
