I'm posting this here for more feedback....
I wanted to post a jpeg of the proposal but it will have to wait until later. I'm currently at work
....Well, I ran a scenario and found that it is possible for the fog to look the way it does according to my earlier post.
A unit positioned atop the mountain NW of the one which contains the gold resource would have created the pattern we are seeing.
It means they probably have not scouted that area yet after all.
However, I took a look at the horse resource too, and could not see it in the blow up just as ET couldn't. They could be concealing a unit that is currently on that tile. The fact that they positioned the text right over the top of it could have been done to try to cover their tracks. If this were true, they are only six turns away from their specified location in their proposal, seven away from actually founding the city.
Now, who precedes who in turns for the save? If they we precede them, we can have the jump on them in that they will enter our line of sight when it is still our turn to move.
We could conceivably attempt to cut them off/delay them with the spearman from Saragossa, reinforce Sargossa with the spear that will be escorting the settlers from Pamplona, and have the spearman and settler rendevous at the new city site.
Another possibility is that we could do this is conjunction with help from.... GoW
Bare with me. We could offer to sell GoW Writing for less than the alloted 60 gold in order to enlist their services in forming a wall with the spear from Saragossa that a potential ND settler could not get around.
GoW could not be told the purpose of their mission, only that we would be willing to knock off such-and-such gold from the deal if they would be willing to take their western-most warrior and beeline for "X" tile.
We then proceed to move the spear out of Saragossa to be directly beside them at the appropriate point in time. And the settler from Pamplona (and maybe the warrior south of GoW's warrior) follow up behind. Also, the spear out of Pamplona instead go to Saragossa to garrison the city. It would only be undefended briefly.
