    Explore until you find a nice spot and a few NON units, then build one size 8 city with Ein's and Elvis, use the remaining 2 settlers for roads and go OCC!

      I set up a SP scenario with 7 civs 10 settlers each. Artificial idiot didn't know how to handle it. By 1 AD three of the civs still had only one city!

        Great work Stray!
        4-5 cities size 1 probably, size increased if a good spot is found, the rest of the troops go roadbuilding until monarchy.

        But the game is finished from the start ... poor AI...
        googol... this is a number!

          well if you get a 4 special site i'd go with 1 size 5 city and probably 5 size 1's

            In any city that has a food special, it would be silly to use a second settler to get it up to size two. It would be better to wait for it to get to size two (since it doesn't take long) and then use the settler to make it size three.

              Use them to spell "win" across the board.

                Good point rah. I'd say it doesn't pay to use up a NON Settler bumping a city up to size 2 in almost any situation I can imagine. Talk about a lousy ROI, what a waste.

                  No matter how hard I try, it takes more than 10 settlers to spell win across the board.

                    Yeah that's what stopped me posting it first time I saw this thread! But then I thought no-one will be pedantic enough to point out you want 12ish.............

                        That's ok, the image of you trying to spell out words with your settlers is funny enough to compensate.

                          Yes, that did bring a smile to my face.
