What's the Play?

[Gori the Grey]

I mean to go for a domination victory. This is deity, by the way. I'm preparing the standard CB rush, and I know I'll take Thebes. You see there's a good spot for a second city, E of the cotton and SE of the stone. Will bring in two sets of horses, plus two other pasture resources for a strong stable. Brings in truffles as a lux. Circus and stoneworks can chip away at the happiness cost for founding.

Or

For happiness reasons, in a domination game, have as few cities as you can get away with. Moscow and Thebes' borders will eventually hook up. I can grab truffles with a citadel. Or frankly, if I go chop the forest, Moscow will itself expand to that tile.

How would you play it?
