yeah i'd noticed that as well. bear in mind the wheat's not only 3rd ring for blue but also 4th for red. worth thinking about longer-term.
in the short term we need to be vigilant. they're getting writing a good ~20T before us and can get those libs for half-price. most certainly one is going up in sheep-gold city asap.
they'll be getting 4cpt there, meaning borders expand to wheat say 30T after they found it if they make lib their first build and chop it. we can chop monument asap but even getting border pop say 13T after founding, we're going to feel serious pressure if we don't get a library in there as soon as A4 trade us writing.
i'm guessing 3cpt @ 2nd ring more than beats 4cpt @ 3rd? will check the mechanics shortly.
also one minor thing: chariots are 30h.
