So with authority Iroquois there will be a brutal window of UU spam, but if I can avoid it ... not on forest tiles.
Still that is a rough window on almost any difficulty.
I have a choice to forward settle (and really make sure to get hit by him)...
Which spot (orange numbers 1-5) would you say is most easy to defend?
3 and 5 are next to forest tiles , 4 doesnt look safe either.
I feel its mostly 1 or 2, there is a convenient river all along the western side.
There is of course the chance he will just simply swarm the spot and run around.
CS 17, cover 1 UU for free have done that before in previous games.
(You also see further planned spots for my other cities.)
