OK, game is live, and this is what we see:
This looks good.
Mardoc still owes me a plains cow. Lets go look for it, but the incense and grassland and plains hill 2S are freshwater, so that is a lake down there. We have a bit of land available, so I reckon we are either on a big, or a very globular small.
This is dry, that's a desert down there. Not interested in scouting it right now, so I'm 100% behind scouting NE. And this is what we see...
I count 9 grassland tiles (4 river, 5 not), plus that flood plain. 3 plains hills (all river), 2 grassland hills (neither river), and 3 further plains tiles (2 river). Plus the pig and plains hill sheep. 9 forests.
SiP has 5 grasslands (2 river), plus the flood plain. 4 plains hills (3 river), 1 grass hill (not river), and 3 plains tiles (none river), desert incense and 2 lakes. Plus the pig, plains hill sheep, and the plains sheep.
The new capital location can run 15 cottages, two plains hill mines and a windmill if nothing else turns up in the fog. It is by far a better cottage capital.
I'll upload a sim to see what we can do with the micro, but I'm not sure we want to head to BW if we move teh settler (except no other options spring to mind). Maybe worker at size 2?
