Here is the start that I rolled - not what I expected to get, with a river (albeit tiny) and a wheat, but no sea resources. I like this start because it presents us with an interesting decision to make. If we ever want to use that wheat as a resource, then we're going to have to found a city right on top of it. Since we're not likely to run into a usable wheat square again, that sounds like a good option. It doesn't look like a great starting city location, however, so that would mean we're going to have to move our first settler 1E or 1SE. We know there's going to be a resource just off to the east, and I'd rather settle on the river for added health bonus - so I think 1E is the best option.
I'm going to wait to play until everyone chimes in (to make sure everyone knows the game has started!). The tentative plan is to start with Meditation, and what resource to the east is available will determine the first moves production wise.
