Yeah well when I was a senior in high school I watched my favorite team become the first ever. frown

Buuuut they did hang 59 points yesterday so I can't complain today.

  • Stonehenge by 1 turn
  • hooking up copper by several turns
  • capital's first cottage by 4 turns

The cottage is the least valuable to me out of that group. I don't think I really want to move the city's location 1N. I think there's still a very strong chance we miss on Henge (this is a pretty late build date with 17 rivals), and I don't want us to be in a lousy spot if we miss it.

That's mostly why I prefer farming the wheat first, since it only delays by 1-2 turns and we get a much better growth curve.

I should also mention that the wheat first t58 timeline involves -- here it comes -- not roading the copper

How about we just farm wheat and road copper and then chop Henge?
