- Btw, I was suggesting that we spend 6 turns in Pacifism and then we already switch out of caste and paficism back to slavery (and OR). So it's more like a "quick Pacifism run" approach in order to grab low-hanging fruits (cheapest GPs) while continuing development and preparing for war.
- Getting ~680 GPP out of Agincourt in 8 turns is a really rough exercise. Actually it requires 75 specialist turns (so 3x 10 specialists and 5x 9 specialists). Assuming that we are at size 14 and work our 3 food resources, specialists and rest food neutral tiles and we don't have health issues: running 10 specialists means that we burn 7 food and running 9 specialists means that we are burning 5 food. So overall we are burning 46 food during those 8 turns, which means that we need to start the operation with 47/48 food in the box. So it's doable, but it's very tight. I'm not quite sure if I like this approach
- I think getting a GP out of König is interesting and I don't have a problem with investigating more of that possibility. I can imagine the city also pumping out lot of hammers during the GA, but GP-push also makes sense.
- Overall I'm not convinved about the benefit of the 1 extra GP if it means that we need to stay longer in Pacifism and it means that we are not getting hammers out of Agincourt and König. So yeah, beakerwise 1 extra GS is a nice thing, but it is questionable whether it serves our goals. So does earlier Education give anything concrete for us while our focus should be in acquiring more land from someone.
- That said, I'm not satisfied with my previous suggestion either so I think I want to still continue head-scratching and I try to come up with some kind of a compromise :P
