Cities 3-5
Memphis is in an obvious location, I think. Was obvious even before horse popped where it is. I generally prefer more overlap for city 2 but the fish pushed it E.
1. Where can I put city 3? (I lean 1b)
(1a) Forested plains hill WWNW of Thebes, can share corn and/or cow?
(1b) Plains hill 3S of Thebes for instant grass cow? (1W of that can share corn but blocks 2b below)
(1c) Coastal grass hill 4S of Memphis to share corn and get one dye?
2. City 4? (I prefer 2b but it has a huge cost in worker turns)
(2a) one of the other two above sites
(2b) 1W of riverside banana to get gems and a grass ivory?
(2c) 1N of W coastal cow to eventually get stone (of course, further exploration will make that decision more clear, but we can assume it's just more flat plains/grass for now)
3. City 5? (I like 3c but that's pushing into a neighbor's land; see below)
(3a) any of the remaining options above
(3b) on the dye 1N of the lake?
(3c) 1E of the rice to also get the fish?
Everything that looks forested/jungled, starting with the row the grass cow is on and going S, is jungle. Except the forested plains hill 4W of that grass cow.
There is a neighbor whose 2nd city is SSE of where the warrior is on the S banana. (I don't want to say who it is yet, nor add a save, because I have a very funny screenshot of him/her and would like to reveal the identity using that; it's not applicable now except the civ is not Creative and not an aggressive-type.)
