We went for the alternative site: only two specials, but six river squares (including the city) and way less terraforming to do. When some Barb Leaders came our way, we were sure we had made the right choice

-4000 Hmmm, we have 70 gold in our pockets.
Wouldn't it be a great stunt to take Mentos as our capital, btw?
Nah, is probably well-protected.
All good sites have non-river mountains and/or hills. Optimal trade bonus lies south, with the Silk and Wine and 2 Whales, but no less than 3 hills and a mountain. Still tempting though.
But - there is a nice 2 specialties/6 river site as well which is easy to defend and to develop. For something different, then ...
Horsemen go east to the Japanese, Explorer will have to make all the other contacts.
