Ways to make 6f:
Settle on food resource, work 3f tile: many possibilities.
Settle normally (foodwise), work 4f tile: Possiblities:
Farms take 5 turns, pastures & camps take 4 turns. (Note to self, double check this - I got the numbers from an article on CFC not in game.) Both Pirates & Gillette could've pastured something first ring, if they had worker end of T11 at the latest (or second-ring with worker EOT10). TEAM, Menagerie or Gillette could've camped something first-ring if they had worker end of T11 (or second-ring with worker EOT10). Pirates or TEAM would need a worker end of T10 to farm something first ring.
Looking at what Gillette have done with their tiles I rather suspect their worker popped out at EOT12 - they switch from 2f+4h (total including city tile) to 5f+1h, which to me makes sense as moving away from the "expansive bonus tile" after making the worker to a "let's grow fast" tile. So Gillette used their EXP bonus and a second ring 3h tile to get one out EOT12 (4 foodhammers for 5 turns plus 5 foodhammers for 8 turns). That suggests they haven't improved anything, but we might see something improved EOT16 for them.
We know TEAM aren't on a PH, if they have a 4 yield tile 2nd ring they could get a worker out EOT12 (4 foodhammers for 3 turns, 5 foodhammers for 10 turns); if it's first ring and they started working it T1 (we "know" not T0) then it'd be EOT12 as well (4 foodhammers for 1 turn, 5 foodhammers for 12 turns with 4 overflow). If they worked their 4 yield tile on T0 and switched tiles to confuse that time but not (all) other times, they'd get a worker EOT11, so might be possible they have camped a first ring forest plains deer.
If Pirates settled on a plains hill & worked a 3 yield tile all the time they'd get a worker out at EOT11 (5 foodhammers for 12 turns). So they could very easily have pastured grass cows or plains sheep in their first ring finishing this turn.
Menagerie are a turn late on everything. So on a PH working a 3 yield tile, or working a 4 yield tile (not on PH) they only get a worker EOT12. If they are on a PH and working a 4 yield tile, they'd get a worker out at EOT10 (6 foodhammers for 10 turns) if it's first ring (and in that case I hate them
) and EOT11 (5 foodhammers for 5 turns plus 6 foodhammers for 6 turns) if it's 2nd ring. So it's a possibility.
End of all this thought? If my numbers are right for time-taken-to-improve then I'm pretty sure Pirates are one of the ones with 6f and Gillette are not. Are there holes in my logic or numbers?
Settle on food resource, work 3f tile: many possibilities.
Settle normally (foodwise), work 4f tile: Possiblities:
- camped plains deer (4f/1h or 4f/2h if forested);
- farmed dry grassland rice (4f/0h);
- pastured grassland cows (4f/2h);
- pastured plains sheep (4f/1h);
- farmed floodplains (4f/0h).
