I think I was wrong regarding the two tiles of FoW to the east. I believe the eastern FoW tile is actualy plains, not an fp, which sucks but what are you going to do about it? I hold out an irrational hope that the western tile, which is a forest, has ivory. Well, I say irrational, but I can argue that Mardoc didn't balance strat resources if he didn't give us ivory.
Otherwise, looks like playing defensive and getting this land productive is the name of the game. Island up north with sheep and corn seems like the best place for city 8: City 6 goes for dry corn/plains sheep/plains forest deer from city 5, city 7 is for the furs, city 8 is for the island: I'll hope there are either silver or whales up there (or both...)
