Looking for the door...
I purposely did not post any pics with a coast in them. As this is C3C, I am sure the coast is very near in all of them. That's just the way my games go. That said, I really think putting the 20K city on the coast is a bad idea.
All of my pics are based on the Capital NOT being the 20K city. I still say make the second city our culture builder. I think you'll be glad you did. Especially seeing how we have to wait until Lit to take advantage of our tribe's trait of Scientific.
Of Raliuven's, I agree with CKS that #4 would be best. I'd move the Settler SW.
Of mine, I'd try #6 first, not only for the latitude on the minimap, but moving the Settler East 1 tile and sending the second city west looks really promising. Even if we put the second city on the hill. #7 would be a very close second. It may even have a better minimap placing than #6 and is not so mountainous. #4 would get third place, as we wouldn't have to move the Settler and it has a decent minimap location. Second city would probably go East.
Sure, bring Elephantium on. E is always on the boards. I value TO's recommendations highly, so whether he wants to come on full time or not, I hope he stays (I can't remember what he posted...).

Hope you stay onboard, TO.I will watch for now, but you can make me a pinch hitter.
