The Return
I think that Shaitan makes a fine suggestion and we should act on it. By doing this, we can also watch to see if the barbarian alters his course and heads away from our proposed city site. If so, we could still possibly found the city unprotected and have that warrior catch up. I trust the President's DP skills and judgment on this matter.
I would also propose producing nothing but warriors from Noshuret for the time being until we get the upper hand on these savages.
If I read the turnchat log right, there are two barbs. My recollection of barb behavior on this patch level is that they will both come our way, as opposed to ptw which is slightly more random.
Need to decide how to handle the worker as well... If one or both barbs heads in its direction, we could either send it with the settler at the risk of losing both if 2 barbs overwhelm the warrior, or to safety in Noshuret, at the expense of some idle turns until the barb threat is eliminated.
Also, are there future plans for this worker? Noshuret won't need extra food for another 27 turns, but at that point we will need to choose between irrigating to grow beyond size 4, or keeping the size down. The 27 turns are plenty to road over to the BG and do whatever tile improvements the 2nd town takes.

There is one barb, current location 3 tiles due west of the settler.

We have a good amount of very nice territory exposed. I'd like to see a city placement plan for the uncovered lands.
Based on coastline being revealed to North, West and East, plus our relative Southerly position on the mini map, there is a very good chance that we are on an island by ourselves. That would put our optimal central location somewhere southwest of Gorina. Please discuss a possible future palace jump.

And that I have. 
(I'm WAY ahead of you!)
Based on the fact that the current trend is more of an OCP build, I've done this: (Note, there's really no way of getting those four tiles - 2 mountains and plains) without messing up the city build pattern. It almost appears that we have another chokehold by the capital (I hope it is). A future warrior could explore that area. I also had to make room for a coastal city, as we picked continents I believe.
There's other worker priorities that I'd like to see, and those include:
- More workers in the near future
- Road and mine the tile 1 NE of Gorina.
- Mine the other wines by Noshuret
- Build a road to possible city #3 (S of Noshuret - where the warrior is standing)

I see that you have marked some locations with blue squares. Am I to assume that that is where you wish for cities to be built in the future? If so, I would go along with everyone of those except the one at the very far left and top of the map unless it is to be used as a heavy garrison to protect our harbor futher inland.

I think that looks like a good plan. I am in almost the exact same predicament in this game as one of my games. I am playing on Monarch as the French on continents, so I feel I can help alot in this phase of the game. Also, CT, what program do you use to create those maps? I know how to make screenshots and grids in-game, but how do you get the shade kind of thing where the tile is colored but you can still see what is on it?
@Hancock - yes, those ara city sites. So, which one at the left and top? I assume along the top mountain range? I spaced it so that there wasn't too much overlap, and that each mountain had 2 plains to "support" it. By support, I mean 2 extra food in the industrial era.
@naervod - Adobe trial and the good old screenshot. Though, I'm sure Paint Shop Pro 7 can do it too... The shading is done by setting the layer to transparent.
I'm going to make a thread on this..

When you make the thread can you PM me a link to it? Thanks. Now I can make some of my own.

I thought you meant a thread about making maps like that. Silly me...

I have a idea for expansion against the west. What do you guys think about it.

Well, the blue in the mountain could simply be put one tile SE. That would at least partially solve that...
I would like to know from the domestic office how many workers we need currently. As I am sure you are aware, Nar Shadaa is producing approximately one worker every 10 turns. This is, however, stunting the growth of this city considerably. How many more should it produce before it begins focusing on its own well being?
Nar Shaddaa is all plains, and will never grow quickly as it is. I would like more granaries, but we really must expand. I'd like to hold off on the warriors a but, and start building more workers and settlers. We'll need about 1 worker per city. I'd like atleast 2 more (for a total of 6) - this way, we can have 2 sets of workers laying down roads each turn to our next city location. I'd also like our cities to be building workers and settlers rather than temples for a number of reasons:
1 - We're dead behind in expansion
2 - We can raise the lux slider if needed for a turn
3 - The cities are going to go back to size 1 or 2 each time a settler is built, making temples ineffective, as the luxs are keeping our cities in check.
4 - We might connect dyes soon - that's 2 luxs. We could trade for a 3rd if we had to. Other than that, we really shouldn't worry unless our cities get to size 6 or over.
