OT: I thought the manual said cities can work tiles 2 hexes away, but Rome in that screenshot seems to be working a tile 3 hexes away? (the one north of the city) So which is it?

It is confirmed from various sources and screenshots that cities can work 3 tiles away.
This is just another error in the manual.

So I guess Warrior, Worker, Settler ... some building/wonder, Settler, as germany. I think one should pump out a worker asap, since you can not accelerate improvements anymore with more workers stacked, and the sooner you start, you might get away with fewer workers, reducing maintenance cost.
