I should finally have time today to test stuff! 
Fingers crossed though..
We will definitely want another mine for our cap, but we don't really need it before Agincourt reaches size 4, which means that we probably have a bit more time for chopping.
Linking the cap and our 2nd city has definitely value (2 commerce per turn + safety).. But worker turns are at this point expensive as well..
I don't know yet how we should balance chopping, mining and roading.. But give me at least until this evening time for one sandbox run!
