I like this idea!
Just to clarify, I've been mixing up our chariot names and Hykephalos is actually our medic chariot, but here we mean of course our sentry chariot

- 2 next to Koniggratz - one could move to road the iron or rice, the other could chop that jungle. I'd rather road iron at this point.
Yeah, I like roading iron + chopping that jungle.
Quote:- 1 south of Agincourt - I'd like those cottages for BoP, but this guy could move south to support Konigs and Nibru leaving the other worker to build cottages. He will either:
- - Waste a turn moving
- - Put a turn into a cottage on the plains SW of Agincourt and chop the jungle E of Gallipoli
- - Chop the hill jungle NE of Gallipoli
- - something else
I analyzed this for quite a while. And I vote that the first worker moves this turn SW of Agincourt, pre-cottages and then moves E of Gallipoli next turn so that we can start growing one more riverside grassland cottage ASAP. The other worker can then build the grass cottages for BoP (either via pre-cottaging or wasting 1 worker turn).
As stated earlier, our island cities really want more worker support, but I calculated it and we can just manage with our current "support team". Note that the new worker that will be born in France needs to finish the cottage W of France before moving onto jungle chopping duties so that the city will have an improved tile at size 6. The road from France to Omdurman needs to wait a bit, but we want to road grassland silk tile and the hill N of Omdurman so that we have at least a road between cities N & O.
Quote:- At the rice if Rowain moves to the jungle and the worker roads next turn instead of finishing the chop we get 91% odds of winning. I think that probably isn't high enough to risk a worker for is it?
Yeah, no reason to risk our worker at those odds. The potential gain would be just 2 food, because we are going to get clams improved anyways and delaying the rice farm is therefore not that costly. Btw, let's not forget moving LP south this turn
