Did you play this game through? You can fit two cities on that nice chunk of land if you move 1S2W.

Good thing you started with a scout there

I'd settle 1E of the scout here. 
In all seriousness, that start looks great.
1W would be the best GP farm super capital.

I didn't play this game, simply because I was looking for something a little more hmmm fun. Although this does have great novelty value. I might load this back up another time, with the save here and all.
@CT 1E means you can fit only 1 city there. Although if you were going for an occ style that would be a good spot.
When I first moved the scout, I went "ahahahahaha", and thought "now I knew how it felt to be brennus and blocked from rest of continent" (another game, so he was blocked with 3 cities didn't do much at all :\).
For fun, was thinking about OCC style, as a serious game though, it is asking a little much of me, although there are some others that could do well in it I'm sure.

It wouldn't be very funny if an AI had a start like that instead. It would create 2 cities, and the other 8 or so that would be available to it would all go to some other AI.

At the time I was still learning IMM, and was enjoying the challenge of a new level rather than raging about imbalances
That's when I'd rage most lol
. Trying to learn a new level and 1 hr + into the game you realize the other continent had something like this and then a super AI has fusion around 1800 AD on immortal such that the only way you'd win is if you were a deity veteran playing down for some reason.A start like this in human hands isn't nearly as broken. Having to build a galley sucks, but you really only need 1 early, and the seafood + obvious prevalence of coastal sites means going sailing is somewhat high on priorities anyway. It might set back settling 5-10 turns at most, which sucks but there are worse things. It also makes you almost 100% immune to DoW from AIs on the continent if you *don't* settle past the mountain ridge for some reason, meaning that AP cheese or an OCC with this start is easier than usual.

Edit: Why are we moving off the 2h capitol in place site? If you really want a 2nd city this side of the mountains, 3W works if you settle in place and can even share food. In place also gets fresh water and all food in sight.

Hilarious! Had it happen to me once with room for 3-4 cities. It was only a single peak blocking me. AIR, the first city I settled on the other side was captured by barbs and I rage quit.
