I'm not sure why everyone's so scared of Lord Parkin … I kind of wish people could view these games player-asymptotic, that is we judge players based on their performance in this game, not on past reputation. When we were playing together on Team Saturn, LP and I (and others) didn't really have a good plan and thus we expanded slow and didn't do so well, after all.
I'm happy to know that we'll found cities on turn 75-79. I think we should try and gamble a bit, settle the sixth city with crabs as well. We need the commerce and with only five/six cities, we want the best ones we can get for now and save the fillers for later. We can park some units on the silver tile, which is where GG will have to go to attack us anyway. We'll definitely need axes here.
