            Whoops - I didn't notice that it's multiple choice so I only voted for whales. If anyone is counting, please add votes for silk and spice - which sounds like the Thai restaurant I used to go to in Fitzrovia.

                    I'm going to think of this as what 4 I would want in my "perfect" city.At least before someone like the above poster came along and sacked it

                    I gotta have a whale for that first worker.In fact 2 whales.Then wine of course and ideally a river wheat square which I would later change to silk.

                    A mined oasis or ivory can be very good squares.

                    where is ivory?

                      gold (do i hear rivered gold?)
                      wine - ideal for a science city needing extra production
                      silk/wheat - i count this as one, because i usually use both - wheat for various growth periods, silk for trade
                      whales - excellent starter space
                      spice - excellent starter space

                      honorable mention: ivory - better than silk (same food, production if mined, more trade), but usually means there are a lot of bad spaces in the area

                          A mined Goldcity mined wine is nice too

                          And whale is okay

                          edit: Don't forget spice - nice groth/trade

                            whales = #1 (you get it all without moving a finger)
                            then silk/wheat, because of the fine combination.
