How come that's bad?

You can see as far as the eye can see!
Therefore you get much better feel about your surroundings!
Therefore you can find optimal place for your city!

One minus though, it takes long time to get down there (as the picture depicts)!
 
@all: :lol:

But the player said that the AI in fact never settled down and the settler was just standing there for the whole game.
Thought something like that, since it's turn 20!

Now that you said that it couldn't move... Could that settler be killed?
I guess you need an Atomic Bomb to do so, but still could he be killed?

Helicopter Gunship can move over/through mountains...

I'm wondering, though, if building a city next to the mountain would force the settler off of the mountain and out of your territory?
 
Cityboundaries certainly would drive the settler away to another position. In fact i loaded the save and destroyed the settler with an archer. Unfortunately i can't show you a screenshot cause when uploading i get the message 'invalid extension'.

:O an archer was enough for the job...

Now that I think about it, Atomic Bomb would have been an overkill!
 
I wish I had a screen shot of this but I set up a recent game as England using the advanced settings - launched the game and clicked the "begin your journey" button...only to be faced with clouds and the "You have been defeated" screen. Funny and a bit sad at the same time.
 
The screeny shows how the settler is getting hurt by an archer.
