Build a Courthouse and then Spies for the rest of the game.
I said a city with 2 silver, 2 fur that had food to work them is great in the early game
and that it's subpar in the late game, and would not infact return its investment.
It was said earlier that I shouldve settled by the iron, at that point the iron was not visible if that gives any clarification.
I think this is actually the better question here, "Is a city that claims 2 very early happiness resources worth it if it will never grow past size 2?"Claiming 2 happiness resources so early in the game is very very worth it.
Don't count tundra tiles (unless they are forested, or riverside and you are going to COTTAGE them... farmed Tundra is pathetic)
Conclusion: this city is a worthwhile investment by every measure. Maybe it was possible to position it better and achieve the same objective with more food, but frankly that would not add much as it never going to be a productive city in the tundra. The only counter argument I can see is that there might have been a better city to found at that time. But we'd need to study the OP's game in detail to decide if that was correct.
