I spent some more on the 6->3 whip sim. Here are some thoughts:
-Turn 45 is when we really need to make our worker actions count. On that turn, worker A will have finished his road to connect the gold to the capital (and MIT), and worker B will be produced. (I suggest we switch to slavery this turn.)
-Turn 49: We can settle our third city here by the horses and have insta trade route connection. Worker C is also produced this turn. We have 2 warriors to spare down south, so they should go on either side of the city to keep guard.
-Turn 51: 4th worker done
-Turn 55: Can hook up horses now
-Turn 56: Can get 4th city up by now, but requires capital being whipped to size 2 (don't like it). Otherwise we delay it by about 4 turns, but that actually might be fine if our workers are a bit slow in getting the road network set up.
-Turn 65-ish, can start library production in cities, but then who can make the settlers? Probably MIT will need to do it, but we can't afford to whip the city (it grows too slowly without the pigs).
The turn 51 situation.
Any thoughts?
Idealy, I'd like to have libraries close to being done on turn 70, and having 4 cities before turn 60 with ample workers to improve them. MIT can go on full worker duty if needed, while the other cities build settlers.
