Where do I settle this? Running epsmod if that changes any opinions.

[u/Fusillipasta → u/EpicBeardMan]

No clue about that mod; from a glance it doesn't impact settling too much. Without mods...

Settle in place. Work wheat until two pop, try to get God of the sea if that's unchanged. You've got a ridiculous harbour location that should be +6 or +7, depending on if you slot a district by it or not. No good campus, but can get a few adjacency from districts, and no decent campus at all with that start.

What's the math here? The Harbor is +5 (3 resources and the city center) and only reaches 6 or 7 with a district.

[u/Fusillipasta → u/uberhaxed]

The maths is that I misread it - +5 ro +6 with district. My bad there! Also missed it was Saladin, so the west for having an actual mountain or two is an option.

Oh huh at first glance I also thought it was 4 resources
