Sandbox, I did absolutely no fog reading, so all the fogged tiles are snow.

We should move scout to SE, if we plan on settling A and NW-N or NW-NW in case of E. Just to check that via settling we're not losing anything crucial.

F might be worth considering to try to land GLH, but otherwise E or A seem best.

With regards to the snake pick, I don't think our start changes the conventional wisdom much. We'd love FIN, and we definitely want an Agriculture start so we can improve the corn but also research AH before the first worker completes, and have the option to improve the pigs before the corn. Second starting tech is preferrably Mining or The Wheel, as usual.

One possible and pretty conventional start would be (Agri/Wheel)->AH->Mining->BW->Pottery, and go worker->grow to 2->second worker->grow to 3->chop settler->chop granary->profit. But there's not much point simming different options until after we have more map info.

We could consider postponing AH and just mining the pigs 1st, if we find some tech limited goal worth rushing.

Just noticed I left out a flood plain from the sandbox... Updated, same link as before.

Hope we can start this game soon. It's a pain to look at the start and now that you can't plan a thing yet.

What's a micro thread? Is it like a quicktopic?

It's supposed to be a really small thread so you should stop posting here.

Seems like we don't really have enough information to know for sure if one spot is definitely better than the other.

Right now E would be my preferred spot.

My intuition says E.

My outtuition is wondering why I'm even bothering to think about this when the scout move will likely render all previous analysis obsolete anyway.
