Do not be tempted as I was to build your intial settlement in the SE
corner because you will have a fairly quick request for weapons. Build
A small settlement in NW corner with two(2) copper mines. You can then
build a small settlement across the river to get some farming and
exports going or you can now go down to the SE corner and build all of
your gold mines. As in any city if you do not want your settlements to
go above fancy residence make sure you set your bazaars to "do not buy"
luxury goods. Normally I build statues right behind my 2xn housing
blocks but is did not set one up the way I normally do and had to put a
row of gardens behind the houses. This allowed this block to grow past
fancy residence. Once that happened I lost about 500 workers and had to
add two blocks rather quickly as well as delete a few industries. Once
you have a positive cash flow import your sandstone you will need close
to 500 units in total and can only import from one city.
