I think that as the only native feature for the panther is jungle then I guess so. Bears spawn in forest, lions spawn in desert, plains and grassland and wolves in forest, tundra or snow. Given Bears essentially spawn anywhere they really are a crapshoot.
I agree with that as the second city location. Given the limited need to.scout that area I'll send the second warrior there, so the first is still only tentatively allocated to scouting the south eastern corn. The scout could still reach that area by t19 when the warrior can move.
We need to know if there is a solid third city around or not. If there isn't, then I think the pottery rush and third worker before settler makes sense, to ensure two Granaries are down by t40.
