Planing till industrial era is nice, but lets just survive till knights era. And preferably be in a good economic position.
City#2 never will be a good city if we plant it to overlap Pigs, but it not suppose to.
Our goal is expand fast and grab maximum possible land.
And we are short on worker turns for now. So, lets use our improved tiles between 2 cities. I see expansion like the spring in this case. Our goal isnt to grab more land with city#2, our goal is just grab maximum land possible after expansion over. Maybe I'm wrong tho. Want to hear from DMOC.
So, I see city#2 as a filler later in game and booster for our empire expansion early.
EDIT: I don't suggest we play expansion ICS style, cuz it wont work. Just, in my opinion, overlaped city#2 is a good thing pretty much every time. We'll know more after some scouting, and I can change my mind and vote for another city#2 location, tho.
