What about settling 1E on the forested PH? Surely it kills a forest, but then City 2 can be placed where the quechua is. These 2 cities would get all the food tiles and many shareable river tiles as well. This start would be a bit slower (T1 settle, slower WB), but it may provide a more...

Agree with moving 1N -> 1NE with the scout. By seeing jungle to the north, I guess the starting location is a bit towards the south, therefore settling the blue circle tile can make sense as it grabs more land. Capital would still keep both wet corns and a bunch of river tiles. Also, the hill...

Finally found some time to play on:

I have read through the comments, opened the saves and analised the process. I think overall Fishing before Hunting was more efficient growth-wise. I also accept that the monument is Lakamba was reasonable, probably I shouldn't totally ignore them in the future, like I did before. Played a few...

Agree on moving settler 1NE then maybe check seafood SE of the peninsula with the scout (tricky tough because even if we move 1SE -> 1SE I think we will still have 1 mystery ocean tile 2S of the southermost plains tile that can have fish), then, if nothing found, settling on PH the scout...

@krikav Somehow I didn't manage to save at T23, but I have the saves from T34 and T42.

@krikav Capital has 6 happiness due to ivory, at pop 5 it will get 6 unhappy faces, I think it will be still OK. I don't really like to build monuments, those hammers have a better use. With the 2 holkans pushing out, we might find more appealing city locations for City #3, although I don't...

With the clams improved Mutal will have 5 decent tiles to work, and the current happy cap is 5 w/o a garrison. I probably don't want to whip the next settler (haven't made the switch to slavery yet anyway) before granaries, especially cheap granaries.

I know I can clear the queue - did that many times in my past games -, but how long can I do that and not build anything? Theoretically forever? If so, I will just save the overflow for the WB then grow to size 5. Probably we can get another WB for some scouting then going down for the fish when...

Replayed those turns with the chopping pattern. I many times have used more workers to chop one forest but really, it seems like a waste of their turns by moving into the forest. I have probably slowed myself down many times with this... :)

Took the Hunting route and I think I will settle next to the dry corn (the currently dotted one, one further away from the capital) to claim a bit more land. This is because we are in a closed peninsula, which is advantageous in one way (easy to fogbust), but we can easily get boxed in, even if...

What do you think about the tech path? Fishing or Hunting first? I tend towards Hunting, because the ivory does not require any chops to be used now (I would definitely chop the WB). Or skip maybe both and go for TW -> Pottery right away? This would also need worker turns investment into...

The grassland the worker is standing on is next to a river (has fresh water access).

@krikav This is the analysis I came here for, thank you. Understood everything. This is what I basically don't do, play with 1 hammers here and there - a 5 turn second worker was just good enough for me not to bother. Probably that's why I struggle with immortal level... :) Replayed those turns...
