isn't the +4 from a plantation over and above the +1 that the base tile gives? quit typing start experimenting permanoob, sheesh.actually, a cottage on a dye is better than a dye because the dye would at 1 to the cottaged square.
Dye also enables the built-in +1 from Theatres, and since Gilgamesh is Creative, those cheap buildings are even cheaper for him--good synergy there. I think I'll therefore want to make Drama a priority in the latter part of the early game, and get the Globe Theatre built somewhere so I can whip or draft units from it without penalty.
Yeah, I'm new here. Discovered your thread a week ago, and have been reading ever since, through all your previous games. Really great, I have learned a lot (my brain is boiling now ). Really some work you have cut yourself out for.
You've ruined my games, though, kind of boring playing as a chieftess when amongst emporers. But I suppose that if I keep learning from you and all the other posters here, I just might have the guts to bring myself up a level. Scary thought, I'm a very timid viking.
Option 3 - Regen Map.
Map spoiler:

Don't post spoilers!!!!
Somebody will probably respond giving away what you say and that will ruin things.
Cheers.
actually, i just checked. a town in and of itself is exactly the same as a plantation, +4c. it's only after you add in printing press and free speech (UniSuff too if applicable) that the town is better.
To the S man:
Move warrior north , and unless you find something really good, settle in place
To the spoiler people ( I'm going to use them )
Spoiler :Being isolated is a good way of showing one of the strengths of Gilgamesh: ReXing. The S man will have to overcome the foreing trade routes and the tech trades of the AI, and for that there is only one way: having more citizens working tiles of being specialists than the common AI. There are two ways of doing that: having more cites and/or more populated ones.
For that I reccomend Oracling Monarchy: the Oracle tech already gives the UB ( enabling full ReXing ) and Monarchy gives HR, that enables big cities.
IMHO this is not a regen ( too bad that the UU will be simply barb police )
Spoiler our new Chieftess, Carabodes :
oh we all learn at our own pace, there are various difficulties for a reason . you say chieftess, does that mean i have another female poster in this swarm of testosterone? howdy! i should warn you, they'll tease you if you giggle. if you're like me, that'll make you giggle more.
