Amphib assault is available from scratch IIRC, and why hit gold when there's more food and hammers lurking up the river?

Good question, here;s my reasoning: Because it's 1 vs 1, no AI game, we have to do all our research ourselves. That means gold is important and that gold/silk spot will benefit my income. This will keep my research up and maybe even limit the impact of the increased upkeep from a 3rd city.
The few CIV4 games I played solo I was really focussed on food and hammers in true Civ3 style which resulted in the AI cruising away after the early game because my science slider went down and down. I'm convinced that if that happens against Rik I'm doomed.
So that's why I was thinking about gold first, cows later. My capital is doing quite alright hammer/food-wise so churning out a second settler shouldnt be a big problem anyway.
Would love to hear what you guys think bout this reasoning.
