I could not help myself and did a quick sandbox run until T51. I played highly sub-optimally, but still had:
4 cities all working an improved food tile
5 workers
6 warriors
So yeah, IMP makes life kind of easy and this is thousand times faster than in PB13.
Worker techs are a true problem though and we would really benefit from a useful tech (BW, Wheel, Agri, AH, even Fishing..).. If we don't get lucky our opening will be ugly in one way or another.
