I like NE-E for the hill vision! And then some kind of bear evasion moves towards SE.. 
Thousand thanks Harry for doing C&D and reports! My RL is currently just more hectic than I would like it to be, which unfortunately reflects in my contribution.
Damn I should better get one proper sandboxing session in before it's too late!
Re Sandboxing:
Current results are
1. settler eot35 with one worker
2. settler eot37 with two workers
both options come with work bot and a warrior. And both options get capital to size 3 eot38 IIRC. The 2nd city will be founded thus on T37 or T39.
But in order to decide what's best plan I should really sim it until T50. When I look at our demos and recognize the diversity of e.g. PB9 starts I really doubt that our 2 sea food start is too shiny and I doubt we will look good during the first 80 turns. Therefore we really need to micro this so that we get to e.g. 5 cities in a fluent and effective way, and that's complex!
I hope this game won't get too far until the next weekend!
