Yeah, that's okay. We could also chop the A2 forest before settling the city later. Do you agree with the other stuff (work boat whip, island city settling plan)? We can pick up the Katharina cottage with Ana Paula next turn anyway.
Thinking about GP plans medium term and also a new location for our capital. I was hoping to place it along the river in the jungle but with how the sugars are laid out there isn't really a great spot for it. I've put in a couple location sets. The C1 location is the strongest jungle capital location, but it orphans the riverside grassland 2SW of Heidi and C2 is only viable if there's undiscovered seafood in the area (else we have to move it and orphan more grassland). B1 gets five riverside grass but one sugar tile is just plain too weak foodwise for a capital. (We could farm of course but that would defeat the purpose of having the riverside tiles.) B3 is a good location but it only catches two riverside grass and is much slower than the obvious alternative - Heidi itself. Heidi has only one riverside plains but it's got two 5f resources and a good nine grassland tiles, and can start building the new Palace pretty much immediately (not that we want to complete it yet since we're not in Bureaucracy). So yes, I think Heidi should become our new capital.
This ties into the medium term GP plan, of which I think there are two obvious choices. One is up north at Doris, where we'll have HG points, a library already built and 4f surplus for two scientists, and we can easily build the GWall there as well. So I think we build the GWall after the HG and then run two scientists and roll the dice. An Engineer would likely be a wonder, a Spy can be a GA, and a Scientist could be an academy at Heidi or a GA if we decide on a jungle capital location. Alternatively if Heidi is not to be the new capital, we could build a library there (and GWall) and run scientists. There's more food surplus available there compared to Doris.
You really should post some screenshots for the lurkers by the way, I'm too lazy.
