As I struggle against ToT's psychotic AI in OCC, I find myself faced with this question: what's an acceptable OCC site? The Paulicy makes clear what's unacceptable and also what's ideal, but I often find myself wandering around way too long in search for a perfect site. I think I'd be better off putting down root early, at the first workable site I find, but I'm not sure what that is. Two specials? No specials but 3 river squares? Or should I just wander looking for a great site, and start again if I don't find it by, say 3500 BC? What do you do?

Dig trenches, with our men being killed off like flies? There isn't time to dig trenches. We'll have to buy them ready made. Here, run out and get some trenches.

I'm not the master of OCC that Paul & Rib are, but for what little it is worth - I would go with two trade specials and some river or three trade specials and no dire (mountain/glacier) terrain - you can ussually find a playable site within ,say, five starts with a little wander on each
