I am curious about preferring to cottage the riverside plains over the non-river grassland. My instinct would be that the +1 food is more valuable than the +1 hammer/commerce, even with FIN. Particularly when it is a shared tile vs. only the second city. Do you disagree with the instinct, or is there something specific about this start that changes your assessment (like saved worker turns)? Or are you just not working the plains cottage?
Edit: Nevermind, I can tell from context you aren't working it. Move along, nothing to see here. :smoke:
Your question is valid. In the shot the cities are freshly whipped down (and I have to assess yet whether this much is really justifiable for an asap city 3). But both cottages have been worked (one is, in fact, a hamlet already) and are essential to get BW and Sailing at this date.
The grassland is freshly chopped, and the cottages are built before BW, so this isn't an option,
but we have to decide whether we want the road and chop on that tile, or rather on the remaining forested riverside plains, which will likely decide which of these tiles will get cottaged first (we probably build a copper mine somewhere first though).
Mind that we are playing unnerfed Fin, so it's 1/1/3 vs 2/0/1, (1/1/4 vs 2/0/3 after ten turns, but that's a long time) and also commerce is really important on deity if we still want to expand fast (and of course we want to, always).
Would you still prefer the grassland? You are correct that food is scarce.
