Going for the forest west of the cow would be abit risky but good I think, would spawnbust closest to capital. That forest would be in time for an axe, no?
Could put some hammers into an warrior in capital to reach pop2 too, but if nothing bad happends there is no need to finish the warrior.
Not sure about AH/Pottery both have advantages.
Don't see much use for cottages in the near future, but granaries would be nice.
Myst might be a third option too, but settling an godawful city on the desert hill SW of the desert gold would get both golds inside culture when capital pops borders without monuments.
A city doomed to pop4 working both golds and two oasises or an oasis and a grassland farm. On the bright side, such a city has no need for a granary.
You should turn on tile yields, makes it easier to see whats going on.
But it looks like York is working cows now.
York should work the corns now when capital is stagnating on settler. Thats the general idea at least. Food should ideally land in a food bar every turn, only a bare minimum of food should go into settlers/workers.
But maybe London needs the corns now to ensure the settler is done in one turn?
I think I prefer a PH mine above a grass hill mine in london. Even hammers are easier to utilize with the IMP-bonus. But saving the forested PH and instead mined the grass-hill would perhaps have been better?
