Turn 20
This looks somehow familiar...

Azza! Looks like he did settle 1N of where I did - I still haven't figured out why. If he doesn't spot me I'll nip down to his borders then back to the jungle next turn and hopefully he won't know where I came from...

Settler will finish with another chop next turn. Unfortunately Dario Gradi will have to spend a turn mining before he can get on with pasturing the sheep. As you can see visiting Azza has inspired a dotmap that gets the crab and hidden grass pig and gold in the NW. I suspect picking the right gold to expand towards will be the key to avoiding early conflict. This one is only 7 tiles from my capital, while the other is 10.

At the moment I want to settle c3 third to chop out a work boat so c4 can work the fish and get moving quickly. Both these cities can share cottages with Altrincham, c4 could share more if it were 1E, but would lose the fish and gain the rice and prevent a later filler city west of the dye. So I think it needs to be there. Please shout if I'm doing something dumb here...
Confirmation that the others think that having kids beats killing half your people for the greater glory of the snowball.

Demos - points gained this turn confirms that Serdoa and LH got 9 tiles on settling just like me.
