It looks like we're not the only fishermen starters. Not surprising at all; this is Big and Small, so half or more of the starts are coastal and clams-only starts should be shot on sight.

Size 2, corn complete just in time to work, BW complete just in time to let the worker mine. Size 3, chop/mine completes and the mine is worked one turn to get the second work boat out. Size 4 growth done just in time to complete a chop, so making settler with clam/fish/corn/riverside mine/chop. Then, of course, we swap to Slavery and whip the settler to overflow into a complete work boat Second city (Fool Moon) planted in the southeast to share mine(s) and clam. It's not an amazingly fast start, but it's "fast enough" and will net some seriously excellent research due incidental coast/river commerce. After Pottery I'll probably go Hunting->AH for the ivory and something to plant with that marble/cow region.

Will you be using the scout to protect the Settler from wild animals? And I feel like it says something about the land when a grassland cow is a high food location. :P
Also, thanks for explaining the timing you were talking about.
I'm just doing my best out here.
The scout will be looping around to grab the hut, anyway; I'll use it to fogbust, yeah.

More gold, and more dyes. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.So you see how there is just one single tile unrevealed up above? Well...  Nice. Dry corn is absolutely better for a second city, plus no settler escort needed, plus more tiles shared...

Excellent. So...1W of the new corn? Claims the dyes eventually but no rush, but still can work capital cottages and a couple of its own tiles. I still think four food for the cap is overkill, so letting Fool Moon take SF's corn is probably a good thing.
Edit: Plus, if Fool Moon steals the cap's corn, then an eventual jungle city to the east can steal that dry corn from Fool Moon later on, to grow onto those gem mines. Edit2: Dang it, can you give me a wider shot? I'm not sure that idea works with the marble-cow city, but I can't see for certain.
