LOL as just showed the settler pod don't work too well against rival civs too much(especially in multi player).absimiliard

Most of my settling is done within 5 tiles of another city (with very few being more than 8), and this is enough that the already existing military unit can generally travel about half way to the new site by the time the settler is done, blazing trail (or busting fog), and by the time he gets there, the settler does too. It doesn't always work out that way, of course - sometimes they're a turn or two apart.
When I finally start having Worker capacity available, I tend to try to build a road to where I want the new city. Sometimes it doesn't get finished in time, but even so, it makes it faster for the settler and its protection detail to get there. Rarely have I had to worry about barbs by doing this.
In addition, I tend to build my "pods" simultaneously, in different cities, or near enough as makes no difference. Not always possible, but it's the case more often than not.
