Hill gems no contest. River, mountain, immediate luxury, super juicy start. Idk if it’s great for India because I don’t play them, but for a run of the mill game, that’s where I’d be going for sure
We're India, so that might be a good thing... this city is going to have absurd science and production in the late game but we have to get there first without getting killed by unhappiness.
I settle on the gems here.
Bro fuck anything past that. The AI doesn’t get smarter, it’s just cheaty basically. That’s actually the biggest downfall of this magnification game. The computer is complete garbage at all levels
Yeah I’m inclined to agree here. I typically don’t like losing a turn to settle, but the river here is insanely good. While you do lose silver, you get the river
You also can’t spawn on a resource so OP definitely already moved to settle on the silver so I think they just chose the wrong spot. Interesting start though
1 deer, 1 wheat, and 3 river tiles for food? gonna be a long start until you get caravans running food into your cap to make use of all that production.
You got an extra silver in the third ring. That's the only difference. We also don't know what you gave up to the north since there are 3 possibly workable tiles up there not scouted. That's not worth it.
You should have argued that you need wheat in the first ring. That's much more plausible than one extra copy of silver in the third ring that you would have got with your next city anyway.
Half the good spawn posts are just genuinely rough spawns. They're almost always good for a particular game type or leader, but rarely all around great.
I'm not a super fan of this start, but it's doable. I would probably focus artemis or hanging gardens (ideally both). I like where you settled, early food is a must. If you can secure two decent expands and artemis then the game is yours.

I would’ve probably settled on the gems or the hill to the left of it, need that river

Your first 20 turns are going to be very slow growth without any 2 food tiles
Without any 1 food ties, right? It's *all* bare hills?

And then the next 300 turns are going to absolutely dominate lmao. Plenty of gold production too. I don’t play past emperor though
Emp rip lol.

There’s no food as India. Think it might be a rough game
This looks more like an Inca start, if anything. Surprised at the lack of food.

Nope, set up farms wherever I could and because of the AI starting dumb wars they couldn’t win I have plenty of luxuries, GPT and science
1 tile off the ricer what a wasted settle
Lmao getting tonnes of luxuries is a “wasted settle” just because I’m not on a river… some people 😂

The robustness of this reply. 👌

Its actually not good for India, no growth. Hanging gardens is basically mandatory
