Do people find the best strategy to found their first city on a hill always?
I seem to find that when I do not settle on a hill at the start, no matter how sweet that grassland or plains looks, then I end up production gimped and much further behind the curve with the AI players in the early going.
Even if there are hills around that I eventually intend to work, it feels really slow going.
Just curious if others find it pretty much required to get on a hill at start, and if not, what strat do you use when you aren't doing a hill start?
