I've browsed the forums for some sort of general rule of thumb concerning settling in place, but it were all pretty detailed examples.
I mean, I always settle in place. It happened that I moved my starting settler 1 tile to a more advantageous location (still founding my capital in the first turn), but that's very rare.
Are there situations where you do move your settler a couple of tiles, delaying the start of your Civ by several turns? Does the better starting position outweigh the loss of research and hammers etc etc? If you do start wandering off, how many tiles are "acceptable"?
