That I don't really get sorry. I saw your post some days ago about 3 fishs/iron, but that city basically doesn't exist. I thought it was a typo, but I fail to see how you want only one city in the north. There are 4 resources which need 2 cities, and it's out of the way to miss one (all 4 tiles are awesome). Moreover why it takes forever to get up to speed? 3 wbs to build? The city isn't forced to build them all, then in my book more food makes for a more explosive city, not slow developing city...
What was your original spot you are talking about?![]()
You're right. I'm an idiot.

Well that seems optimistic... settling 3 cities while he builds one... even with a worker steal, it's emperor, I hope you are right though
It's total guesswork... I got it just like that in one test a couple of weeks ago, but many things were different. At this point, I'm not even 100% sure he'll go for iron first. I was just trying to say that we could use more knowledge about him before we proceed with further city placement.
