Yeah, that'd probably be the best way to do it, though in that case I think I'd settle the pigs city 1SE of the pigs (on the plains hill), to grab the silver too.

I'm not a huge fan of a city between corn and gold or the tile highlighted by in the previous screenshot as they invalidate the plains hill + first ring fish & wheat spot. I was also thinking about SE of pigs, but as it invalidates the plains hill S of silver (which might be ok) the S of pigs spot has merits too.. I think you want a luxury resource that you can improve at latest in the second ring of your 3rd city or the first ring of 4th city (just my rough gut feeling), which probably will affect dotmap decisions.

Hm, interesting. I was just thinking of grabbing the fish second-ring, but I guess that's stupid. I'll try and play with this a bit over the next couple days (my days off) to see what I like best.
 Note Commodore's scout. I'm sorry for the lame scouting move; I thought the one-tile lake was going to be coast (see last turn's screenshot to see what I mean) and I thought I could quickly see the end of the little "peninsula" before continuing to wrap around. Well, turned it was land up there, and I got awkwardly stuck on that group of hills. Edit: Fixed link.

Um, hello, barbarous visitors ...
 I get a free win on this difficulty, right? In that case shall I allow the bear to hit me? Edit: Fixed link.
I'm not sure you get the choice - your scout is out of moves isn't he? I'd try to avoid giving up your free hit at all if he wasn't...
Great news about the pig-gold site though! I think that's your fourth city right there!

Pffah, of course; for some reason I was so focused on the bear "lion next to scout" didn't enter into my mind.
I think you get two free wins on noble though, so you might as well fight him too!
Can we have an alt-f overview with the grid on next turn to begin the dotmapping arguments?

I did actually end up getting to move before them. The lion had moved adjacent to my scout at eot; I forgot to mention that, and then forgot about it entirely in my last post. I moved 2SW this turn to avoid them both.
Here's the screenshot you requested. It's three AM here, so no comments from me right now.  Edit: Fixed link.
I'm working on updating my sandbox but I'm having a problem - I can't seem to get a couple of resources to 'stick,' ie. I click on the tile, but nothing happens. Anyone know why that might be? They're both animals on grassland hills, fwiw.
Are resource bubbles on? The resource graphics sometimes take a reload to show up without them. Otherwise I have no idea. I can have a go if you want as it'll be a while before the PB18 turn comes around again...
