I count 5 cities that I can just about be thrown straight onto wealth rather than unit prebuilds, and that should give me a further ~80gpt if I want it straight away. I reckon I do want that, because I would be able to finish Optics around about eot149 with some gold left, which is 2 turns faster than otherwise expected. That would also suggest Feud eot154 and Guilds eot160, which would put Banking in the range of availability for the start of the GA. Given that maces and HA would start to degrade in the queue, I'm going to go with the wealth builds after the barracks builds.
Given that some cities (ATAT, SS, MiF, and HWD, need forges, ST and 3S are ready at immediately) should also mature and be capable of building wealth by well before that point, I feel confident that this time timeline is easily achievable if OH doesn't invade me. The main decision would be how to balance military build up along with that teching.
