Settler, Worker or Granary?

[DarkSchneider]

After the obligatory Warrior or Scout unit, which of these should you build first in you starting city, Settler, Worker or Granary?

 

[Portent]

Thats a no brainer, a settler to expand!

 

[LKendter]

Settler with a qualification :

If the Settler would finish before size three, another military unit

 

[Libertarian]

Settler with same qualification as above, except Worker if Settler finishes before three.

Settler. Build a new city, then from there, begin working on the Pyramids. By the 2000's (BC) you should have them built...

It depends on what level you are playing, but

this thread shows the results of testing which indicates that force building the granary is the best start. The author plays on deity level from what I understand.

Always start with Settlers to have 3-4 new cities, then Granary and then loads of workers (2 per city).

My choice:
1. defender.
2. settler (if size makes it possible).
3. granary.
4. temple.
5. worker.

In 'bad' places i would build a granary on 2. and a settler asap after that.
In border cities close to enemy-cities, i will build a temple on 2. and an extra defender on 3. Maybe even a citywall.
