Put it this way: I absolutely despise barbarians before I enter the mid-classical with swordsman or composite bows. But after that, I hunt them like a Shoshone would hunt ancient ruins.

You mean a pathfinder? I wonder if city states could gift pathfinders, that would be funny.

Usually 3 well-placed cities until I get to ideology. A 4th one sometimes for a resource I lack.

Then when I start getting a lot of happiness, I will expand everyotherway - found new cities, conquests etc. Usually for resources.

No, they are hard-coded in the game engine not to gift any recon units.

Tall = grow population asap, eventually settling few core cities.
Wide = somewhat ignore population growth until you (quickly) settle as many cities as the map/strategy allows, then grow population.

That makes sense, thanks for clearing that up for me.
