Hello from 2023! Yes I'm rewatching old filthy playthroughs. I'd personally have settled either on spot or on that desert hill next to his capital for a monster Petra city but that's just me!
This comment is 6 years old lol. But settling coastal cows leaves him with literally no early growth tiles at all until the city expands to them, it would have been brutal. Plus you lose the cows as a workable tile
@@lincolntravelconcierge4846 and walking away from wheat stone and cows? No way man. I think he settled on the best spot possible even if it means losing 4 hammers from the stoneworks.
@@longbow857 maybe so. The desert hill picks up more useful desert tiles and gives production from the hill settle but delays settle by one turn which is risky when racing for desert folklore. Does miss those good tiles you mention in the capital but they would ultimately make a back-settle better- however he didn't know how close Mongolia's capital was at that time. What I do really like is that these vids are still starting conversations all these years later hahaha.

cool video thanks for sharing :-)
You should have settled on the coastal cows. You'd have three luxes and less dead desert tiles.

Even later hahaha- cow settle also prevents going for Petra. That desert hill might have been better.
Would have taken an extra turn before settling but allowed stoneworks.
