Having not opened your save stack yet: Does the settling of eastern J require the pillaging of that road. I'm still pretty skeptical about leaving that bowman completely exposed. Partly, because combat roading is possible even if we destroy that road, partly because suttree will have odds to just kill the bowman with chariot and return to the jungle tile with extra XP.. Well.. -1 unit costs is something I guess.. 
And do we have a reason to do it now, instead of e.g. next turn? Situations change so quickly that I think we should delay this move as along as it's reasonable. Note that destroying that road also costs us the vision of that jungle tile, which sure is improving my sleep currently.. 
Hydra: I think the odds that Harry wrote included bowman's city defense bonus ability.
Utilizing Caste artists will be a good approach in the future as long as we are sure that we don't need emergency whips!
Agreed, our initial plan will be: let's grow BoP a bit and then double-whip a settler for a city in the south. We might just be able to get enough worker support as the most urgent jobs are finished around Cannae, Dunkirk & Gallipoli.
Wealth building is good at this point as we really need Calendar, but on general level we should not overuse it. Agincourt, Dunkirk, France, Gallipoli and also BoP will all want Libraries eventually that we could be building with those hammers.
Hydra is right, at this point we should have microed ourselves at least 5-6 holy cities..
EDIT: I'm going to look at your save stack a bit later and comment on it! Personally I'm still very undecided about the location of "Jamestown", but if I'm reading you correctly you both are preferring the western site currently..
