Just Checking in, will read up on the discussion once I have packed the Ankle Biters off to Bed but will go with the flow if a consensus emerges.

hate to be a spoiler but I'm for Willem.
I'm normally a settle in place kind of guy, as well. Unless there is a compelling reason to move, which I don't see on this map. Mining and BW sounds good. Are you thinking of doing some early cottage spam with the Pottery?Settle in place I think (although I always say that). As we start with Fishing, a work boat of the bat seems a good plan while researching to Bronze Working (we need Mining first) and Pottery.
I believe the Dutch start with Fishing and Agr. With all the seafood on hand, I don't know that getting the pigs online quicker helps us much. Thus I'd say BW before AH is the way to go.I'm away from the game--what is our other tech besides fishing?
I'm a believer in getting your big tiles working ASAP so I might tech to AH before BW and if not before then immediately after.
I wouldn't mind a culture game, only from the standpoint that they don't seem to get played all that often.I feel a cultural or space win is a possibility here and would be different than the two conquest wins we have has so far.
Bronze allows us some chopping as well as copper (hopefully), if no copper do we go Archery for barb protection or Animal Husbandry and hope for horses?
