You mean Hastings, right? Yeah, let's do it either the way you suggested or through some kind of "one worker roads the jungle first"-thing
Yep Hastings, I have a blind spot for those two cities (among many other blind spots). A road to the desert hill city from that direction would also be useful. Hastings grows to size 2 this turn, I think we whip the granary t107 and it'll be t111 before it grows back so the farm wouldn't be ready in time or needed quickly so one guy can start roading while the other farms, that gets the dye ready a turn before Hastings hits size 3, so they can start roading the northern or southern dye early.

There is that one worker still chopping and trying to transform a forest into a new unit. Assuming we win against the barb axe: Maybe we want to threaten that worker with 1 bowman next turn again? Kind of playing us more time? Suttree would probably need to move an axe or two away from the "staging tile". If he moves in with those 6 axes and retreats the worker we get a chance to use our Hykephalos immediately..
I'm guessing another three axes appear on that jungle next turn or the turn after.
I think I like threatening the worker, either:- he retreats the worker and another chop is delayed
- he retreats the worker and moves on Jamestown next turn and we have a bowman out of place (although it can probably cover our stack)
- he moves two axes to cover the worker and we know he's not moving on Jamestown for another couple of turns
- he sends an axe or two to kill the bowman (because the worker has been roading, not chopping), but they don't get odds so we probably kill one
I like all of these scenarios!
Not sure I understood retep's message in the tech thread - is he in a turn split or just didn't have time for his turn?
