Edit: argh, I can't edit my title to correct the typo. Moderator Action: Fixed typo in title.
Hi all,
Ive just started up a new game with Arabia, with the intention of getting four cities out early and building as tall as I can. Unfortunatey, I'm flummoxed as to where I should put my settlers.
I'm on an island with just Ethiopia and some city states. There are four or five obvious places for OK cities but with two problems: firstly, I don't want five or six cities. I want four good ones. As such I need to maximise the resources avaialble.
The other problem is that none of the obvious spots that suggest themselves to me are anywhere near Mt Sinai (bang in the centre of the map, below Mecca). +8 faith is such a massive boost that I really can't imagine doing without it.
So, I thought I'd throw it open to the board. Where would you settle?
Alt question for extra points: what pantheon? Fertility Rites, Godes of Festivals, or Desert Folklore. Or even One with Nature?
