Ahoy Lurkers!
I need your help. I'm going to settle on the hill near my rice ICS style. This city will nearly exclusively work cottages on the river so I need the name of the biggest cash grab civ expansion as its name.

General rule: the second expansion pack is considered by the masses to be the better XP, but is in fact balanced worse than the first XP.

I'll think about the names and try to name my city in an ironic fashion using them.

Well if that doesn't give you a headache I dunno what does. Anyway, my land is complete garbage outside my capitol (read: almost no food). Thus I've had to found pretty cramped around my capitol so I can share its 4 food resources.
So here are my dots in founding order:
1) White Dot - Epic double gold, if Catwalk can help me secure it, then I'll be in terrific shape. You know it occurs to me that even if we fail to choke, the opportunity cost of TT dealing with this will probably put me abit ahead of him especially since he already lost a warrior to LP. 
2) Blue Dot - Shares rice and capitol's river tiles to work. Also gets horses. Its good to be creative 
3) Orange Dot - This will be my Moai city and utilize the capitol's clams. It also picks up the FP that White Dot missed.
4) Red Dot - This city's purpose is to work the remaining cottages since White Dot doesn't have enough happy cap to work everything.
My main weakness on this map is utter lack of production through hills so I'll likely have to build a few workshops. My capitol is my only high production city. I'll be able to work 4 hills using 2 food resources.
Long Term Strategy
TF ChokeATT will try and slow down/cause military builds and lost worker turns for TT. I really just want to delay him for a little bit. His capitol food/production are very similar to mine so all things being equal we should be pretty close to the settling race. Of course I have roads and that might make the difference. I think I win longest road as of right now.
I'm fairly sure given the power spike that TT has the wheel. I haven't see his capitol but LP and I both had horses really close. This may be problematic in the future so my secondary goal is to disable TT's horses if at all possible. If I can get and defend the double gold then I'll try and tech to HBR quite quickly before going for Math for all my forests. If the choke really disables TT, then I'll send a chariot to mess with him some more. Maybe I can chop out some keshiks to kill TT to death. Then I suppose my mid game goal is to kill LP with Ger Knights. I'll also probably toy with the idea of transferring my capitol over to White Dot for bureau gold though production might be more important to me.
There are some interesting consequences of crippling/killing TT. As far as I can tell he and LP are the only 2 Ind civs and LP has marble making it likely he will snag a number of early wonders. I wonder if he might go for oracle.

You know the thing that bugs me about that do map is that the FILLER city marked with no dot should REALLY go next to the horses and be a canal city. I guess I should found Blue Dot 1 SE instead and seal off that area. Maybe I'll just build a fort... Red should maybe go 1N to reclaim the desert and I'll build a workboat out of filler for the seafood.
