My present opening. Mongolia, immortal, turn 1, playing the fall patch beta. I haven't moved my settler yet--he's in a nice place by the water with a good number of resources. I moved my warrior to see what was near the river hill and, lo and behold, there in the distance--Ularu! So sad I'm not spain huh?
So what would you do?
Option #1 - I could settle in place, and work on pumping out another settler to grab Ularu. But who knows, there might be a CS on the other side, or the AI might get there first.
Option #2 - Move my settler to the hilltop by the river. This is what I was thinking about doing when I moved the warrior, to check out what was around there. Ularu would be just out of reach, though, in the 4th ring.
Option #3 - Settle him at the base of that hill by the river, with Ularu in the 3rd ring.
Option #4 - Take ANOTHER turn, and settle across the river on turn 3. Or even go further than that, to get Ularu into the 2nd ring.
Curious to know what everyone else would do!
(p.s. - it didn't show up clearly in the screenshot, but there are whales one up and one right of the settler, I seem to have screenshotted while they were diving.)
