Ok team, I need your help.
We're going to start with a worker, complete on T12. The worker will farm the Corn, complete on T16 or T17 (depending on whether we move the capital 1N). Then it will probably build a mine, complete T21 or T22. I'm thinking we'll research Mining first, complete on T8, followed by BW, complete on T24. So the Worker can start chopping forests after it finishes the mine.
So, what do we build after the first worker, a quechua or another worker? At first I was thinking Quechua, but then we just grow quickly to size 2 or 3 onto unimproved tiles. Is that better than building a second worker at size 1? If we build the quechua, do we then go into a Settler?
Another option is to tech AH before Mining=>BW. That will let us improve the sheep after the corn, but then we just need to build a couple fairly useless mines while waiting for BW to come in (or farm the riverside tile if we move our capital 1N, but I want that to be a cottage fairly soon). We could get the Settler out on T33 without any chops if we go Worker=>Quechua=>Settler, working the Corn and Sheep at size 2. Also, when do we need to start thinking about Fishing to net those fish? I'm thinking not until after we get all the worker techs we need, including Pottery, but that might not be the most efficient tech path.
I'm really conflicted about what's the best course of action here.
Edit: I tried to attach a sandbox save, but I got a message saying the type of file I attached is not allowed. Anyone know how / if I can attach a Civ save to my post?
Edit 2: NobleHelium kind of answered my question below. Does this link work for the save?
