Problem with City Growing

[tatterdemalion]

sorry if this is a noob question....

I am playing FFH. I started a city in what looked like a great spot.

See screen shot of Avelorn:

Normally, that would be a great location for a city. But it took about 45 turns to grow from 1 to 2.

Here is the internal city screen

As you can see, I should have something like 8 food and 3 hammers, but I only have 4 food and 1 hammer. I am not in anarchy. I have the God-King civic. This city is the only one that is affected this way. What am I doing wrong?

its a kuriotate settlement.

they only get 3 big cities depending on map size, the rest are settlements and dont grow well, they exist only to get resources pretty much

Here's detail on the Sprawling trait; it through me for a loop the first few times I tried the Kuriotates.

Settlements are actually pretty nice- particularly if you have excess production in your main cities, you can build units to build buildings in your settlements that you couldn't build directly. You also keep buildings in conquered cities, so you actually can have pretty fabulous settlements.
