not the best of starts i'd say ... i have absolutely no clue how to handle that untill i get into the game ... tentative idea would be something like moving onto the PH 3e1n of the settler (first settling t2!) and hope for the best ... place as is its horribad, at least till Lighthouse and Moai

Slightly surprised that i managed to grab Huayna Capac as 8th(!) pick and as of yet the only Industrious player

Don't know, but the tile 3E1N of your settler is not a plains hill.
I have to run.

joys of getting a screen not showing tile annotations so i can see whats what ...

making it even harder that i'm using Blue Marble and Krill obviously don't so i'm having a hard(er) time in the first place to identify whats what

You could unload BM, go into worldbuilder, and play around with tiles until you get something that matches the picture?

or i could just request the mapmaker to post a screen with tile annotations ... much easier and likely much faster all things considered

ended up with Carthage ... i think i have to have Fishing on this start and frankly then Agriculture doesn't seem to critical from the get go ...

unless i discover something i just have to move for I'm going to SIP (as meh as it is ... only other option, which I'm liking the more I'm looking at it, would be settling on dye) and start with a workboat, followed by a worker for mining the hills the city have ... City will never be great through, and would probably need Moai to start getting useful, although while still smaller it'll be a decent good hammer production city in which i can use my monopoly on Industrious

As for Teching ... AH in not to distant future but otherwise ... have to see more of the map for that to be known
