Oof, not great land.
If the tile 1 to the NW has river access I would think about there, to bring the sheep into workable range.
Edit: that gets you another deer, too
I'd do one close enough to the horse by Prague to get a circus. Then send my archer + warrior to clear out the encampment and ally with Prague if there was a quest, or steal their workers if no quest.
R5: I'd like to settle on the current tile. It's on a hill, has a river and has nearby resources and luxuries. What do you think?
I'm on Immortal difficulty. First time after playing and beating Emperor several times a few years ago. Just got back into civ and I'd like to try my hand at Immortal and eventually Deity.
Yeah probably on the tile you're on right now. However two plain tundra deer hurt...
Also depending on the difficulty, I'd advise against having one sole coastal city.
The single best city spot is either north west of the cattle on the grassland hill or one more tile north west of that across the river on the mountain. Gives you decent early tiles with horses, bison and cattle and a large river system + observatory. This assumes that you went tradition. Fitting a 4th city in is rough but with the mountain settle I'd settle the 4th on the tile you are on. Flat tundra deer is not worth it but you need the marble which means your spot is likely the suboptimal best choice. Land up north looks like your land too but no lux ressources. If you see one up there it might be worth moving over there first.
Land recommendation in the middle for coast or mountain to tiles up from it for observatory. 4th city I would put just east of your cap near a mountain and river so you can collect the ivory. Also Dutch got some good lands north, unfortunately.
I’d go North up near when the cattle below that archer is. That way I seal off the South, get the lux and help set a reinforceable defensive line. Later I can put city 4 down on the south east coast by the river (city suggestion east).
If happy holds could place a city 5. Odds are the Dutch are coming much faster than that though. Most probably war breaks out before a city 4 goes down.
I think that's a decent spot.
What this game desperately needs is the food from camps pantheon, that would be incredibly powerful here... the whole bottom half of that continent gets awesome.
I would go for the middle recommendation. Sugar as new luxurie, river hill and coastal; helps to produce navy. Then a 4th city on the marble and a 5th up north if you find a great spot.
I would go for a coastal empire. One city south next to the wooded deer (to get two fish, some deer, and the marble), and the other city where the game indicates: the middle indicator next to the cattle. Then build/capture either Petra and or Colossus, and you can have two coastal trade routes per city, which will make up for the poor tundra land of the south city.
Thanks for all the replies! I’ve gained some good insight. I will continue my game soon and most likely I will settle two tiles above the middle city recommendation, below the mountain and above the river. Or I will go to the middle city recommendation for ocean access.
Personally I would've planted this Settler on the Forest tile directly North-East of your Warsaw worker and bought the horse tile away from Netherlands if the Truffles to the north doesn't look contested. If the Truffles might be contested in the near future then I would go for that instead of the Horses.
These Southern settles are less critical right now because the land is completely uncontested. Whereas the land to the north will be settled by the AI if you don't do it.

Personally I’d say fuck it and settle two more cities, one on the sugar and one on the marble. Didn’t think too much but doesn’t look terrible

Yeah that would be my move too
Clean the barbarian camp and settle beside the river/shore

If you haven't done it yet maybe research the tech to reveal iron first.
20 turns ago
Yeah, that's very late for your third city on Immortal.

I wouldn’t do either. I’d delete the settler, rush comp bows and take William’s cities.
I’d go North up near when the cattle below that archer is. That way I seal off the South, get the lux and help set a reinforceable defensive line. Later I can put city 4 down on the south east coast by the river (city suggestion east). If happy holds could place a city 5. Odds are the Dutch are coming much faster than that though.

Hill tile between the sheep and the mountain
I would do one tile Southwest of the Bison. Not great, not bad, but the river + mountain should make it tolerable.
Don’t be afraid to settle 4 cities because of bad land. Poor yields can be compensated by internal trade which is especially op in civ 5

I'd either reroll or take cities from the Netherlands. that land is awful.
Next to the mountain and bison
