You can transform the Oil(d) into Wheat, then Grassland(s), and finally Wine. You'll lose 3 shields but gain a lot of trade.

Building a city right on top of gold with double production... its nearly orgasmic... unless its very far from your capital in an early government... in that case I tear my hair out

If you're playing OCC food and trade is important.

The best "tradeoff" between food and trade are these squares:

spice
furs
whales
fish

Bananas!

Clearly, they are the most crucial special... without them there can be no polls constructed.

I mean... they haven't been mentioned in this thread to this point... that's why this isn't a poll... it would have been much better as a poll...

Gee, it only took 3 years for someone to come up with that.

Good work, STYOM.
