Question/Idea for Settling....

         If this isn't the right place to post this, move it please. Wasn't sure where to put it.

Anyway, on to it. I have been reading about settling, exodus, etc. 7 food plots with high food surrounding is golden. Well, I was thinking, looking around the map at various spots and have been moving my cities since I was not schooled on what was good/bad when I started the game and started just random settling. I've come across a number of squares that intrigued me. Some are 8 food squares, along the lines of 4 wood/5 clay/4 iron/4 stone/8 food. The few like them I've found didn't have that awesome 20 food dolmen next to it but some 7s surrounding with the extra food looked nice to me. Some were 4/3/5/4/9 food.

Has anything like this been discussed before? Would losing the 1, sometimes 2 high food square for sov be worth having 8 or 9 food vs a couple less res squares?

	you can't settle squares with more than 7 food... 8+ squares are all resource/NPC nodes.
