What you can't see is Netherlands cap above it. Not only was it an amazing forward expand, it had a meandering river with 4 cocoa and 3 cattle. I'm a little bummed with the lack of production which I'll make up for with internal trade routes. My other expand I had beat Spain to the fountain of youth, aka the most OP wonder in the game. The stupid AI chose a tundra settle over this.

Actually the production is pretty good. A pasture on those cattle and a stables will get you 6 hammers there. Iron, marble and gems will help too.

The biggest pain would be clearing out that entire jungle, though I see some potential Trading Post locations

Very nice. Let us know how that city fares.

That jungle gem tile spot is tempting to settle on because you save a turn or two of movement when you dont settle on the cocoa hill jungle spot. Those both seem like good settling places.
