So as I see it there are four choices to settle:

• By the two corns to get max. food
• On the dry corn to get quick worker build, a bit less food, and silver (but might not be as good a capital long term)
• In place to get less food again but the very powerful grassland-gems
• 1NE to lose a turn but get gems AND silver.

1W looks reasonable to me as well.
Lose: a turn, dry grass hill, dry plains, wet plains, 2 wet grass forests
Gain: 2 wet mystery tiles (flood plains and grass forest?), wet plains, wet plains forests, wet grass
So, I think it is roughly exchanging a hill for a flood plains. I don't think it is good because of too little production. Also delays the happiness from silver.
NE or SIP are a lot better.

never mind

Are the AIs also at permanent war with the Doctor? I was wondering if offering a bribe to an AI to sign peace was considered illegal, or if it just would not work at all?

You may bribe AI to peace with a minor civ. Not sure about AP/UN resolutions if they can affect your relationship with the minor civ.

But if the game lets you do it, and its not on the banned exploits list (this isn't) then it is legal.
