Quote:I thought that was a rule of thumb only for whipped granaries? I vaguely recall T-Hawk explaining during the Poly game that this didn't grant a massive advantage anyway...
As said previously by someone else, the granaries should be finished with half the food bar full no matter what. While the effects vary, you always come out with more food if you do it that way, sometimes to the extent of 1 pop point ahead in a 10 turn window.
The best example that I can see is that Gettysburg could have had a forest chopped into the granary and completed at size 5 already, but instead it's scheduled for completion just as the city grows. And they do have the fast workers to make it easier to do that , and I think they just got maths, which would have been the perfect time to complete prechops.

I don't think he'd take it lightly, even though he's seen me plan worker actions and city builds up to 40 turns in advance on occasion, so he should know how to do it. Simulations come in really handy in that respect, but I don't think any team has a perfect simulation anymore?
