2) 3960BC – Move Barb east one tile (woohoo)
3) 3920BC – I look at micromanaging the city so worker pops within one turn of growth, do some math and realize we are only gaining 1 turn on the worker doing this and giving up a lot of science, plus a lot of stored food.

-Worker pops in 4 turns..
-I don’t hit the end turn button incase you want to do something else.
Added a couple screenshots, for some reason a lot of them didn't take. Not sure why, but anything with a pop up screen seemed to not save, but trust me, Monty is annoyed not just cautious when I met him.
Thoughts:
We need to mine the copper ASAP, I see us getting into a war with Montezuma very early, he’s practically on top of us, and was annoyed when we met. My vote is to build a barracks next and use the worker to mine the copper and the gold, and farm 2 flood plains, then chop trees till we have 4 axmen and then go and try and take out Montezuma. I don’t like sharing borders with aggressive AI’s.
