Sorry I haven't gotten to the T43 report yet, but T44 just started, and I need some advice.
That bear just had to show up there. This turn I am supposed to move one of the workers to where the quechua is to road the tile. I need to move the worker this turn if I want the road network ready the same turn I settle city 3 (where the bear currently is). I definitely don't think it's worth it to risk the worker, so I'll just have him stay there and finish the forest chop. The hammers are all going into overflow which should still allow me to 1-turn the granary next turn. But do we want to risk the quechua by leaving him in the forest?
I ran some tests, with the following results.
Quechua dies 7/20 times (35%)
Quechua wins 12/20 times (60%) (twice the quechua won flawlessly, 10%)
Bear doesn't attack 1/20 times (5%)
If he wins, the bear is cleared out and we're free to settle the city without any delay. If he loses, or if we move him out of the way, then we don't really have any notion of when we might be able to settle the city, so the settler will just be hanging out. I guess we could move the location 1W so it's next to the cows and gold. That makes it a little safer from the bear because we could move the quechua west and road the cow this turn, allowing the settler to found our next city on the same turn that it moves outside of our borders.
