This one is not bad for OCC. I moved eastward to check out the 4-special spot there and decided it was decent enough to settle down. The 4th Whale could not be used until I built a boat to uncover it, but I was keeping the city small anyway till I built Marco Polo and got alliances so it was not a problem. I got an Archer and 25g from the huts, so I did Size1 Settler, which got me to size 3 pretty quickly. Then I ramped down food in favor of trade and production, keeping my 2nd NONE Settler irrigating the land for future growth. By AD1 I was size 12 (I put off Sanitation a while), with 3 +9 trade routes to Babylon (nice location for that city, BTW!), 4 Wonders, and 6 Enthusiastic allies pumping gold to me every 2-3 turns. For a short while Dye was a free commodity, but Salt soon replaced it after I was given Pottery rather than a gift of gold. The AI has gotten into a few wars, but are not building enough ships for bribing. One problem with the extra-large western AI island - it make ship-chaining around it prohibitively expensive for an OCC. Overall I'd say I'm not doing too badly with this setup.
