Curragh completes, start settler. (growth in 3, settler in 8)
Flip a coin, curragh goes W.
Warrior E, looks more like a clump of hills+mountains instead of a longer range. We want to plant a city near those mountains for sure.

A city on the river might be nice - I'm thinking 3 tiles North of the goodie hut, then another one on that grassland next to the mountain, but we'll know more after we explore

We need the city to grab the wheat.

I'm thinking maybe the warrior ought to go SE, SE to reveal the spot 3N of the capitol, and then go E. The curragh W will show the coastline, in particular whether it continues W beyond the longitute of the marsh.
Rik said the map is 80x80 and a little less than 60% water. That means the land area is something like 80x40, so "our" part would be maybe 40x20, or 28x28. Using this we can start estimating how far away we would meet an opponent if we each headed straight for the other, to be sure to be off that straight line when the time comes.

Is the worker done? If so, he should move towards the wheat, and road to Shelbyville.
