Sandboxing and MM

Ran a couple more quick tests. Size 2, The Wheel yields the Settler T32, Tortuga settled T34. Whip yields the Settler T34, Tortuga settled T36.

I agree, settling 2 turns earlier seems better than 2 extra quechas. And it saves us the pop to whip something more useful (axemen, terrace, whatever).

Uh, whipping and Size 2 both leave us at Size 2 in the end.

Two turns earlier may mean being able to settle pink dot rather than not settle pink dot. If we get it then the loss of 2 Quechuas is not a problem.

Here's the deal:
The Settler completes T32, with no way to chop it sooner. We could swap to Slavery T30 and whip it, completing T31. The below assumes we slow-build it.

Build a grassland farm 1NW of the Worker's current position, then move the Worker directly to the grassland Corn 1E of Pink Dot. The Worker will arrive on the Corn with 1 movement left T35, the same turn Pink Dot is settled.

Let's slow build the settler and chop/whip the second worker.
