Here are some pictures of my game. We are only into turn 28.
Here is my core as it will soon be more of mine.
As you can see that I have copper not too far away from me and thus I will settle right next to it so that I can get good benefit from that site. I will have copper and a cow for a good site. But I have such a good area around me that I am thinking the next city will be near the gold just where the plain is as I will be able to get inside the city radius.
Here is the demographics.
I am doing quite well right now, so it is only near the beginning and soon things will change as we should soon start to see some expansion happening in this game. I am last in population, but that is not a worry since I will soon be getting a new city. I went for a worker before settler so that I could get both the corn on cow working for excellent growth opportunities.
Here is my capital.
I have just finished farming the corn and I will road it next so that I can get some more health in that city. I will then go to road towards the copper since that is more important for me to get it ready for my next city, which is when I whip that settler from out of my capital.
