Where should we settle 2nd City? Where should we explore next? Is Pottery our new goal technology, or Iron Working?

Cow first then rice. Worker - warriors - Settler at size 3 with riverside mine. Settle the horses (share the rice) and chariot rush. Lots of green under the jungle, no big obvious 2nd city site. Pottery first. You have charismatic which means size 8 capital = cottages.

2nd best plan would be settle by the stone farm the flood plains makes a good size 4 city for settler production and allows you to start the wonders up in the capital.

I might have postponed AH a bit. Also, concentrate on the first 50, or maybe even 25 turns before you start worrying about the first 100.
