Welcome back Dazed!
The thing with the Iron city, is that it is completely safe, and won't cost us a lot in upkeep from the outset.
But I have been toying with the idea to put the National Epic in Singa, and that Sheep tile will come in hand for sure for that. So I was thinking, maybe it would be better to use the settler from singa to claim red dot first. (once the wheat tile is irrigated, it will have two 5-food tiles), and use the Incan settler to claim black dot, as it won't cost us a lot in upkeep.
Green dot will have to take a back seat in that case, but should be claimed once Singa has been fully converted to a GP farm city (meaning we should add a few more grassland farms)
I'm just worried we don't have the military yet to push that far east, but I guess we'll just have to take that gamble (once DIM is ready to pump units, we should alternate the Horse Archers with an occasional Longbow).
