Having just looked at the map, Byz can actually settle for copper, fish, wheat and whale to their north east. If they drop of both workers, then could get the copper hooked the turn after settling, and that would be a great city for an island capital.
They have no chance of hooking up the iron next to their cap unless they get a load more archers, and risk Ottomans playing risky, attacking over a river without odds to immediately capture the workers. If the Ottomans reposition the units, then Byz will be forced to withdraw their workers back into the city, and the iron still won't be settled.
Also, looking at the timetables that both sides have drawn up, it looks like Athens might fall before they can get any spears into the city, what with the extra 6 HA turning up and some archers having to get evacuated to hold the new city.
Anyone care to place a bet on if peace will happen if Byz become an island nation?
