That city placement at 8 minutes... you took a lot of tundra into your city to settle on that marble when you could have settled a little more north and gotten plenty of resources in your first ring of tiles. Including that marble.
I chose that spot because it allows me to get the culture from the marble right away while working one of the 3 food marsh tiles. It gives me a second 3 food tile in the inner circle and 2x cows 1 tile out that are each 3 food with no improvements. It also looks like there is coast above, meaning there aren't many land tiles up there before the ocean, and I wanted to leave enough land tiles for a solid city to the north. The tundra will be filled with districts and wonders so the lower yields there won't impact me. With a governor's plaza in the center, I'll have a nice wheel with a +4 harbor, +4 commercial district, +2 campus, and a +4 theater (up to +10 if I situate 3 wonders around it). In the short term, the tundra tiles won't affect the city at all because there are good tiles to the north that will be worked until I start popping out districts.

Glad to hear that!
Great vid! More would be awesome!

turn on yields
I occasionally turn it on when picking a city location but don't like to play with yields on.
