Hey all
Have found time to play civ 4 again, and am currently playing a game as Vicky on Pangea Monarch. I'm winning the game (just teching to Cuirs then will cuirs rush), but want to discuss city placement especially the first 4 or 5 cities.
I've attached the starting position and the save game where I am at. The last 3 or 4 cities I have founded are more land blocking cities, its more the first 5 or 6 placement here (I had nice land so options).
Where would the optimal spots have been for first 5 or 6 cities here, so I can see just how badly my city placement was here
The vicky save is the turn 0 save, and the 400AD one is where I currently am (Game is pretty much won, unless I get DOW'd on by Izzy)

-resources. Wouldn't bother improving rice. 3rd for fish (cap border pop claims also crab), 4th to claim clam with cap border pop. Boat is ready. I didn't see any real alternatives to this even, so curious if you did something completely different. I guess 2nd city could go 1S to share gold+fp and not settle on green, but 1st ring horse is pretty good, too.
-cap. I think it's better to just split the food and get fresh water in both cities. Even without that extra clam cap is +16
