So, we seem to be of 4 minds on the settler move.

Options are as follows:
S to the FP (high unhealthiness of -4, gets +2 for river)
SW to the hill (unhealthiness of -2.4, get extra hammer in CC, gets +2 for river) (not sure of the rounding, up or down, that CIV will do)
E to the FP (high unhealthiness of -4.4, gets +2 for river)
W to grass forest (unhealthiness of 2, gets +2 for river)

W and SW loses a turn, but that's not a big deal. I agree with Samson that W allows for a city to the E, perhaps on the desert, but we lose the cow from the city radius. That's a 4f, 2h, 1g tile once developed. Hopefully, if we go W, there's enough room to the S that we can settle nearby (perhaps on the river or forest-river in the fog).

Seems to me, weighing all the details and future city sites, that W is the best for our long term developement. SW gives us a nice production boost if we go worker 1st, plus gives us the cows in the capitol radius, so it would be my 2nd pick.
