Settler 1 south opens up for a fine RCP3 ring. When did we ever have that on warlord? It all looks a bit too good to be true.

A six-turner. But it will take forever to irrigate that Cattle tile.

Probably a good idea to put the FP on the river NW.

Isn't Rank Corruption out the window on C3C?

This is PTW.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't see PTW listed in the thread intro. Silly me, there it is at the top of the thread title.

I have a somewhat foggy reason to want to choose 1S as well. The fog to the north is very unlikely to have a useful food bonus.

I love the fog. Isn't the excitement of a game almost directly porportional to the amount of fog left to clear?
