Moscow desperately needs health resources though. Agree that city #4 discussion can wait until we get #3 for horses though.
re auto-spread: you don't need to have TRs... you need to meet the conditions to have TRs... (OK, that's not clear )
ie, you don't need to have OBs effectively, but you need to either have a road to the city, or have a water road (river, unfogged coast) to the target city and sailing. Sailing isn't needed for "watery" auto-spread inside your cultural borders... If it's still not clear, ask a native speaker
"Moscow is in desesperate need of health": really? without any, it's equivalent to full grassland + corn+ gold... I would play this capital any day... health will be awesome, but the more I look at that wheat site, the more I want to
Seriously, I won't agree on this, so you will just have to ignore me about that
If we really want to settle city 4 in the area, I prefer sheap/deer, on the stone... at least it can grow size 6 (size 6 is a dream for the wheat site before CS )
