Well, the fertile land south of the capital is much nicer... too bad that's the opposite direction of the opponents. definitely the grassland hill mine gets postponed in favor of Copper. If you get around to simming now you might try growing to size3 immediately after the 2nd worker. corn/cow/copper is a nice yield for a capital with limited whipping potential.
Where does the scout go after the river?
Well, opposite direction of BXB, but apparently not of sutt. And given how much land is to our west, there is probably another opponent there (see my theory in my turn report post about diagonal striping). What do you think I should do with The Merovech Patrol now?

I'd swap the whole of team BXB for a Ceiliazul ded-lurker in a flash. By the way Ceiliazul I'm happy you've changed avatar - for some reason Brennus' crazy-paved face really bothered me...
Well, my scouting pattern is such that I probably won't find my opponents anytime soon
I favor spiraling outward from the capital for helping me find my first few cities, but it does have the distinct disadvantage of not knowing where exactly my opponents are until later. Since I have no intention of rushing, it's not a huge deal (though BFC copper for spears and axes is certainly nice in case Byzantium or France are closer than I expect and they get frisky...).Yeah, Ceil is awesome!
