For the lurkers here is the world as we know it:

For our purposes I think this is where our plans for cities are. The western blue could go S or SW without affecting these plans. Without knowing what mostly_harmless is up to it's hard to say if we'll get the red and green cities. If blue stays on the hill we could plant red on the iron - it can then share the banana for a quick start and chop a barracks. If we do move blue from the hill and don't get the red site m_h will get the iron anyway and we'll have a hard-to-defend front city.

I'm inclined to keep blue on the hill - it shares useful cottages with the capital and starts quickly with the rice and if we don't settle red I doubt we'll keep the iron wherever blue is placed. Perhaps we should settle (on?) the iron before the eastern red.
