I believe Gamecatcher has recently completed a Settler also. There is a chance that they may attempt to settle the iron site before we do. We should decide how we deal with this situation.
We could form a wall with our warriors in the area (although it will take a few turns for all three to arrive there).
We could also bypass settling the gold hill for now and advance our settler all the way to the iron city site. This would shorten the time to settle that site by about 5 turns, but will also delay settling the commerce-rich gold hill by about 6 turns.
We could also attempt to negotiate a solid border between our two nations along the cultural borders of Balance of Power. I consider this unlikely to succeed as they can see the iron and if there is no other source on their side of the isthmus, then they are going to go for that site no matter what we say.
I open this topic for discussion and encourage all citizens to participate.
