Barbs are here. I'll have two axes ready to meet him. 2T until border pop to start improving horses.

Second city starting to look like a second capital 
Got graphs on Gira. Posted this graph in particular because it might show the difference between land grabbing poor land versus what I've gone for.
Or it could be a coincidence! You lurkers know better than me.

1 Barb axe vs 2 axes and 1 warrior on a forest. I think we're good here guys.
Someone actually built the Great Wall. Barb troubles on this map? 
Popped 3 iron, none in our current borders. We'll just go with what I had planned anyway, the red and orange dots. The third iron is in the starvation zone to the south.
Pink bordered area is also hard to settle. Ideally you'd want 1st ring food, but it would leave A LOT some amount of empty land and even an unworked iron. I'm not sure what to do with it yet.
For research I picked Writing as it's cheap and always good. Next though.. We could go Calendar route or try for the Colossus. Coastal production cities both have 10h/t, but in Charon (southern city), we have 3 forests to chop.

Barb axe won with 10% odds. Our second axe cleaned it up, this is why we brought him. Never rely on RNG rolls to go your way.

Hi lurkers I could use your help on this calculation.
Normal chop 30 hammers.
+50% from Mathematics
+25% from Forge
+50% from Copper (when building The Colossus)
Are these increases all on the base amount? For example 30 + 15 + 7 + 15 = 67 hammers.
Or does Maths change the base amount and it'd instead be: 45 + 11 + 22 = 78 hammers?
Anything else wrong with the calcs like could the bonuses be additive? I doubt that's the case, but never hurts to ask.
Ty in advance!

Normal chop should be 20hammers i believe.

Ty, that is correct (that one was easy enough to check in-game). Any idea about the modifiers?
To game news: I've set research to Metal Casting with The Colossus in my hopes and dreams.
I'm settling Red dot from Arianrhod and Orange dot from Fhirdiad. Orange will be moved 1E for first ring crabs. It will have enough good tiles to work for the majority of the game.

Mathematics is not a percentage bonus. It redefines the number of hammers from a chop as 30, therefore it's the latter option.

So, just to put it all together a little more completely:
Each forest chop is worth 20 base hammers without Math, but 30 with it. Those hammers are added to the hammers you're getting from overflow (if any) and regular production before any other multipliers apply. Then the multipliers are all added together, also before they're multiplied. So if your city is making 2hpt, working on a building when it has a forge + Organized Religion and your state religion, it makes not 2 + 0 (25%) + 0 (25%) = 2 hpt, but 2 + 1 (50%) = 3 hpt.
In the specific case you mentioned, with Math + Forge + Copper, the chop yields 30 base hammers, and if you're making (for example) 2hpt, that means on the turrn of the chop, you'll get (30 + 2) * (1 + 0.5 + 0.25) = 56h into the Colossus.

Thank you for this!
I'll have three forests pre-chopped for Colossus, so that'll be a good chunk of it. I'd check total hammer cost in-game, but my opponents are probably flooding in now that I rolled in a new turn 
Huzzah! A surplus food tile in the starvation zone! I wonder how far our neighbor is. I gave Gira OB, his work boat will finally continue his journey. Better OB with me than someone else.
Galatea was founded. I started the work boat late cause I forgot I was going to whip the Settler.
I forgot to take a pic: There's a barbarian city in the west. I have an axe headed that way to check it out.
