Any updates on the game?

Only just played the turn.

66 from the Pig could make a nice second site depending on what's in the fog. Shares the food resource, lots of river tiles, lots of hill tiles.

I don't actually want to settle on the grasslands...I don't have many.

[Krill]

I'm actually considering settling on the eastern wine, 663 of the capital, or the plains hill 332 of same. The NW basically needs to have 2 good food res for me to consider viable for second city status.

General strategy: How to tech.

You know, this start seriously looks like I'm going to have a problem teching. None of the first 3 tiles I want to work come with commerce, Pottery can't be researched until t50ish! and the settler doesn't pop until eot t37 for trade route commerce. I actually think this start is about as bad as the PB1 start, but hell, Brennus of the Aztecs sure ain't the vanilla Joao of the Inca.

Feast your eyes on this:

I think I drastically need to change that MM plan. 3 workers is going to be overkill, I need that settler sooner to cope with the low food surplus.

[Krill]

Tentative plan, unless I discover seafood next turn, is to settle 333 of the capital, and use the city to whip from size 2>1 continually to build workers. It grows on the pig (3-4 turns depending on food overflow) to size 2, then works the plains hill (which gets mined) and the silks for a 4-5 turn worker. It'll provide warriors whilst growing very slowly.

It probably works best if I do this after building only a single worker, but I'd need to run the sim. I'm also not sure if BW is actually the right call if I were to do this.

That's pretty awful. 2 types of happy and 3 food out of the whole map...
