Hmm, I'm not really as sold on 3 as I seem to have made out, I just prefer it to 2 if we are settling up on Azza. We've got plenty of other (slightly inferior) sites we could settle instead. It looks like there are islands to the south so we could expand there for the trade routes and bee-line currency...
Suttree is a good call here THH, is settling up on Azza going to make him give up the game and turtle? We want him to fold when (if) we attack, if we let him settle the city does he concentrate on infrastructure, if we poach the site perhaps he'll focus on units instead? If we do claim it we can hit his copper city pretty fast and perhaps prevent a reaction. Probably important to find out if he has any other metal lying around.
Azza is on four cities already, so he hasn't screwed up his start. He has metal, so we're going to need Catapults, Knights or an overwhelming force to make headway, what about going back to our original plan, boating Cheater Hater's capital? Might even be intercontinental trade routes in it for us...
Anyway in more useful thoughts can you bring the western scout up Azza's border to see if he's got a coastal city yet or any other Copper available? Cheers!
