I like good risks for good rewards! In this particular case, what is the possible benefit of exploring NW first?
So do you think we're more likely to find those hills by exploring NW instead of E-NE?
the plains NW of the scout appears to be a coastal tile with water to W, NW, and N (and maybe NE too).
Revealing the maximum possible number of tiles on T1 is not a purpose in itself. I think we're in agreement that the only likely city locations are in place and E,NE, right? The factor that would tip the scales in favor of the E,NE spot is the availability of seafood near the E coast. This is what we need to know on T1, nothing more, nothing less. Even though it is possible to reveal a greater number of tiles by delaying the city, these wouldn't influence our settling decision.No, I think the only hills we will gain (if we gain them) are those we can see right now. But in total we will reveal more tiles by scouting with both settler and scout.
You mean E-NE. I agree. It was an initial thought and now it looks like an optimum spot. I think we can move settler there already.I think that now we must stop and think some more.
About turn:
As for me the best place for capital is 2E from start. 1Fish + 1Spice + 2FP + 2Hills.
Agree.Good. I've moved scout NE and settler E-NE. Screen.
Let's discuss and wait for Dynamic to continue this overresourced spot.
Looks like Pyramids is not impossible as we think earlier.
