I think the research plan should be Sailing and then getting the hunting to hook up our deer. Though one more thing y would we need marble? I thought marble doesn't reduce the price of TGH.
I don't think I mentioned Marble? The Great Lighthouse needs Sailing and Masonry to be built.
Having a Lighthouse needing to be built is actually a good thing: We can whip it and overflow a bunch of hammers into it. Ideally we whip it at about 29/60 and get about 30 hammers of overflow to go with 80 hammers of chopping to build over half of it in one go, then slowbuild it (Maybe w/ plains hills to speed it up).
So that is why I recommended Masonry: We need it to build TGL. Though this is actually a bit of a good thing (The more things that need to be done the less likely someone will do it, especially since nobody has even built Stonehenge!).
Playing the turn now. I am going to go with Sailing because I don't think we will doing cottages until post-TGL and it will let us start on the Lighthouse to micromanage the whipping correctly. Plus, it'll get us some early coastal connection (We won't need a road for copper city until later, for example).
