[SPOILERS] Yossarian blames Caledorn

[YossarianLives]

Those pictures aren't working for me.

No time to sim, but if you test
- mining -> BW -> Fishing (2 workers)
- mining -> Fishing -> BW (worker-work boat-worker?)
- mining -> BW -> AH (2 workers)
- AH -> mining -> BW (2 workers)
To see which gets the second settler out quickest and has both cities working improved resources soonest that should cover it... That's not much help is it?

Ok, here are the results:

Old Harry Option 1:

Mining->BW->Fishing; Worker->Worker->Grow on Quechua->Settler at s2->Workboat (1 hammer away from completing with overflow, alternatively we could complete the partial Quechua and then manually build the wb)

Old Harry Option 2:

Mining->Fishing->BW; Worker->Worker for 3 turns until Fishing comes in->Workboat->Finish Worker->Settler

I felt that it was way inefficient not being able to go straight into the Workboat, so I tried Old Harry Option 2b:

Fishing->Mining->BW; Worker->Workboat->Worker->Settler

Old Harry Option 3:

Mining->BW->AH; Worker->Worker->Quechua while growing to size 2->Settler

Old Harry Option 4:

AH->Mining->BW; Worker->Quechua while growing to size 2 (to work sheep)->Worker->Settler

So options 2 and 4 are obviously worse. Options 1 and 3 are very similar. None of these allow for a Quechua garrison for city 2. Fortunately, this should be ok because the Quechua can come quickly after the Settler, and the planned location would not be at risk against barb animals. I think option 1 narrowly wins out because it can connect the fish the same turn city 2 settles as long as we can find that one missing hammer somewhere. The problem is that the two workers have nothing to do from this point on, except keep chopping. But I'm not sure what we'd want to chop out at that point. More workers / settlers, I suppose.

Compare that with what I had done earlier:

AH->Mining->BW; Worker->Quechua->Settler

This gets the settler out one turn later, and has one less Worker. However, BW is about to come in, so all the trees are still intact and the second Worker can be very quickly chopped or slaved out. I still kind of like this best, but what do the rest of you think?
