maybe second city down the gems

It is number one, so far.
I've been simulating for making a 2nd boat after the 1st one, so we can explore the south. I doubt now the convenience of making a 2nd scout (if animals don't kill the 1st one)

There are these 3 possibilities:
1. boat-worker-scoutT22-warriorT26-settlerT31-boatT34 (whip 2pop for settler)
2. boat-worker--warriorT22-(boat)-settlerT31-boatT32 (whip 2pop for settler)
3. boat-worker--boatT26-settlerT31-warriorT32 (whip 2pop for settler)

In option2 the boat in parenthesis is under construction, and when pop is 4 we change for the settler.

In option3 we have the boat 6 turns before, but we retard the warrior and the settler can lose 2 turns to set the new city, because it goes at warriors speed.

Well, i think its better to get the scout instead of the bout for exploring since the land is going to be the important thing for geting resources and cities, also getting a second scout will prevent any scout lost. 

Either way, option 1 or 2 in that order for me.

There is marble nearby

I've played the 2 turns.  Pinticator of Carthage appears in the north-east.  With a very good location for a city!

So maibe he should be our first victim? the problem is that he is protective so it will be hard to rush. If we get a second scout we ll see if the south player is better to be killed.

Also we need to think about the second city, there is not a huge spot since we cant get the claims and caws in the same city. I might like more a city down de gem with the caw because we get the bonus of river and its some squares closer to the capitol. but not really sure about it.

I planed some cities we could do, i think we should go expand fast north so we dont get without land since it seem we are in a peninsula and they can close soon our land.

   

As it seem not to have much land at south nor east i decided to prebuild a warrior to get lvl 2 and get the worker working instead of the scout of the projection posted some days ago.

This is the updated estimation:

In this mod animal vs scout is free for scout, so buffed

The scouts have 200% against animals
