[CIV] Do you ever move your first settler?

[Pedrito]

Not really a "fresh" question, but recently I started a couple games of CIVV and was interested in your opinion.

L.

[Eddie Teach]

I don't play civ v, but in previous editions it was often beneficial.

[Grey Fox]

Yes, almost all the time.

[Darth Wagtaros]

Yes.

[The Brain]

Yes. And how.

[Valmy]

Sometimes, if there is an obvious ideal space nearby.

[garbon]

So who said no?

[Drakken]

Yes, but only to move the Settler close to Ocean tiles to gain maritime access.

[celedhring]

Yes, if I can see an obvious better spot so I don't waste many turns moving aimlessly.

[Josquius]

Rarely more than 1 step.

[schaksen]

So who said no?

I was lying

[KRonn]

I'll first move the warrior to see a few more squares of land, and move my settler a square or so if it's a better starting point, but usually that doesn't make much difference since settlers usually begin in a space surrounded by resources. So I usually try to get my first city going in the first turn.

[Zanza]

I always move my warrior first to see a few more squares and then decide whether I want to move the settler. Mainly for river/ocean access or if there is a visible high yield food resource (flood plains or grain on grasslands or so).

[PDH]

Yeah, like Zanza said I do whatever scouting I can that initial turn.

The problem with waiting more than 1 extra turn with the higher levels is that you can fall behind almost immediately in the faith fight and miss out on a religion if you are not careful.

[Norgy]

Not normally, no.
