It'll be interesting to see where the archer goes...

3 next? Looks like there may be some open land 2 of that hill.

Also, we need to decide on the next tech to research.

A relevant part of the chat I had with UnO:

SirUlias (11:36:19 PM): Are we doing fishing next?
Kloreep (11:36:24 PM): Hasn't been decided
Kloreep (11:37:00 PM): I'm leery of building a fishing boat in AB, but it would need to be calculated out... could be a net benefit
SirUlias (11:37:47 PM): It's really down to fishing, masonry, or pottery isn't it?
Kloreep (11:38:13 PM): Pottery requires fishing or agriculture
Kloreep (11:38:26 PM): Masonry all depends on whether we'll be getting the stone anytime soon
Kloreep (11:38:32 PM): And it isn't urgent if the city site will also have the copper
SirUlias (11:38:37 PM): Curse my color blindness...
SirUlias (11:38:44 PM): Thought we had agri
Kloreep (11:38:46 PM): I think agriculture wouldn't be a poor choice
Kloreep (11:39:08 PM): The copper city can pretty easily net a grain resource
SirUlias (11:39:56 PM): We don't need the fish now, but they do add some nice commerce.
Kloreep (11:40:11 PM): They could add 2 food w/ a fishing boat
Kloreep (11:40:31 PM): But 30 shields is a bit of an investment, particularly when the food will all go to growth during its build
SirUlias (11:41:36 PM): Right, that's why I normally pop rush em. We're not ready for that yet. Agri gets my vote.
Kloreep (11:41:59 PM): Sounds good to me
Kloreep (11:42:15 PM): Unless we deviate from the settler rush plan, that'll have us getting it only about the time the settler finishes and heads out
SirUlias (11:42:45 PM): After our next settler, we should get on the boats though. (not current settler being built, the next one)
SirUlias (11:43:24 PM): Should be around size 4 in the capitol at that point, and wouldn't hurt to pop one.
SirUlias (11:44:01 PM): actually closer to size 5 with the pigs.

As I see it, this really hinges on the city site... unless we dead set on not only SE expansion, but to a site with the stone in its radius, I think we are best off going for Agriculture. It would be best used if we settled south of AB to pick up some grain, but it'll be useful almost anywhere near a river.

Agriculture seems the right way to go if we are going to settle 4 of wheat to the south.

Off-topic: Is it just me or did you take a screenshot without the blue game console on the edge of the screen? I see you have the time and date, but nothing else. Is there a way to remove the console?

ctrl + i (or alt + i)

Thanks Ozzy.
