I prefer 8-9-9 or 8-8-8.

wouldn't a place 4 spots away be too much space waste? not to mention corruption from being farther away from the Cap.

but it means the other teams will not know what happens with us - they will know we have a settler but they did not drop in land area.

I was in the process of drafting a thread, but oh well.
These are the main points of the argument for 8-9
- We get IW sooner than any other position, because of the free upkeep that the city gives.
- we lose less shields, and less gold, to corruption than a city at 888,
- 89 can be used as a 4 turn settler pump, in conjuction with Apolyton, but 888 cannot,
- Enkidus can quickly and easily be moved from Apolyton to 89, for both hapiness and defence purposes, but we would have to waste time building a road to 888 in order to do this,
- 89 can be abandonned later in the game to make space for more cities, so we are not stuck with it for the whole game. 888, on the other hand, still has to be demolished to make space for better position cities, and has none of the above advantages.
---
Also, the advantage of being coastal is that you can build curraghs to explore with, right? Well, if we built those, we would fall very far behind on the Granary build, so 888, and 889 and all of those coastal cities in fact, which are ineffiecent worker pumps to begin with, become even worse, as it takes even longer to build the granary.
The advatage of 89 is that we don't have to keep that city for the entire game. When we need more land up there, we can disband that city, providing more land for cites. The same can be done for 888, if you want more efficient cities, though.
---
Oh, and for the coastal cities, 8877 (using whale), and 88899 (using wheat) are my favourite for position for caostal cities, but only 8877 can be halfway decent in the early game

1. Being so close to Poly, there will be a lot of overlapping and our land area will probably stay last (place). Which means we won't even know for sure whether other teams founded new cities. 2. overlapped cities means less tiles and this will have an impact on average scores. There are still teams out there who select conquest targets based on average scores.
