Farming the hill first wouldn't save a worker turn, as I understand it. After spending a turn crossing the river, our worker could take one move to the cows and start work there just as if it crossed directly onto the cows after farming the hill. I don't think that spending one MP delays the work, does it? And going back to the hill will eat a full turn's movement, but it's a hill; it'd eat a turn of movement no matter what.
Either way, got it.
I definitely plan to do settler before warrior though; that's what the early policies are for, so let's get the most out of it that we can! I won't play beyond building the Settler, certainly, but I'm thinking that the area between Dublin and Paris looks like a beautiful production area. Some rivers, some cows, and a metric ton of plains tiles (which are actually pretty good in Civ 5). Where the northern river drains into the sea looks like a nice production location as well, for later, with all the deer to produce food for plains and forested plains tiles (which are a lot of production with lumbermills). Oh, and it'd have furs. The only problem with the latter is the barbarian encampment sitting right there; it'd have to wait until we have a military.
As for tech, heading for Calendar seems like a logical plan. We'll need the happiness sooner rather than later if we push expansion.
Our initial warrior will probably be pulling back towards Paris to cover the capital and our eventual Settler. Yeah, it cuts down on our scouting potential, but we have a solid idea of our immediate surroundings and this is what allows us to go straight to Settler production.
