So what should be our strategy for the next turns?
We are sitting on a river surrounded by forest, plains, grassland, swamps, deserts and sand dunes. So should we follow the river in the hope that we are moving to the right end so that we can found there a costial city or should we stay at this position and waste no time with finding a better spot. Note that we are on a map with huge amount of land.
Another question is what we should do with our people, in my opinion they are too happy. We waste gold on them that we could use better for new units and buildings. We waste food on them that could be better used for faster city growing. And finally our people could be more productive they only work 10 hours per day. We could produce our units faster if they would work as it should be 14 hours per. So end the waste of food, production and gold just to make our people happy, our empire is in danger if we continue in this way. OUr empire must survive, our empire must grow, our empire must expand.
The next question is what we should build in our first city. I think we need at first an early scout unit then a settler to found our second city that will produce more units so that we can protect our capital, so that our capital can build the Ramajana so that we can make our people happy and of course win the race with our enemies first.
The last question is what should we research, what new technologies we need for our near future. We can currently select to research:
Writing
Bronze Working
Ballistics
Slave Labor

I think we should follow the river NW towards the plains, if that uncovers a grassland+river next to the plains+river we move and settle on the grassland+river next turn.
The Ministry of Defence demands at least 2 warriors to explore and defend our land, before we see any hostile incursions after turn 19 (when barbs pop up). Bronze Working should also be our next goal.
The slider settings seem cut and dry to me, Least food, Max work, and leave it on centre for science(for later)
I also recommend not using any PW until at least 3 cities are built.
Maybe we should have seperate threads/polls for each of these subjects...

Im not sure building Ramayana is such a good choice. I mean we could build another settler and a few warriors before its finished. Also we're bound to be attacked a few times which might cause us to rush buy a warrior or hoplite when the Ramayana is almost finished, wasting all that production.
Also i dont think we need the +3 bonus that great so early. In the beginning game before Monarchy theres plenty of turns to build happiness buildings, Theaters and Shrines if we need to before we jump into Monarchy. I suppose its just my preference though... If its still available we should try to build it after 3 cities are built IMO.

Actual it is a very difficuilt decission where we should move. We selected a very high diversity for our game, so probably we will only find a similar spot, we are playing on a map with a lot of terrain, so following the river we could end on the wrong side, or in front of a one tile sea. The tile in the West promisse a two green neighbors. We don't know yet if there are hills or grassland. The surroundings of the tile in the South, seems also to have green neighbours. The tile in the Southwest of the South tile is prbably a hill tile, too. The other neighbour could be a grassland. The neighbour of the grassland tile is green, too. Probably also a grassland tile. Therefore I think the Southern Hills are a good place, we have access to the river so we can explore fast, and can return to our city fast as well. And finally a settler for our second city could be moved fast away.
Therefore I think the hill in the South is the best place. Or the at least risky place.

I agree the hills are a good prospect, but we could waste *alot* of early turns if we dont build on the river so... id say move west, then move north-east and settle on the grassland+river tile next to the plains one which we cant see, but it must be grassland from the look of the border.
Or we could even settle on the forest+river, thats alot of production and growth. It would be best if we placed the city on the single most food tile though.

Actually in SAP the ocean isnt a great source of resources anymore, no production. But we should still settle by the sea, the more harbours we have the more ships we can build, but maybe concentrate on settling inland first.

I think we should settle on turn 3 at the very latest, we need as many warriors as we can get before the barbarians start coming and we have a good river so theres no reason why we can settle on the second turn.
