4 Settlers 4 workers by turn 45 help

[dosage0]

I have read on a few threads that it is possible to have 4 cities and 4 workers by turn 45. I have played repeatedly and cannot match that feat. I get the policies will give one of each, but how can you get that many while still building the GL wonder etc?

I don't think that goal is compatible with getting the Great Library, or any other wonders for that matter.

Look for the '4 city swords' thread in this forum, it outlines how to do it.

Well, your not going to build those wonders obviously. I don't ever target a 'by turn xxx' due to the fact there are a lot a variables to deflect what needs to be a very direct path.

That said... how to get 4 workers fast is to

Build one
Buy one
Steal one
Social Policy.

That's a reliable you can do it every game sort of thing.

4 settlers I'm building 3 after a scout/monument/worker start.

By turn 45 will take a little luck, good tiles tight (not 3rd ring), probably a population from an ancient ruin plus a culture... even still it's rare to have the freedom to just do that, at least on immortal and deity.

Agreed, not compitable with any ultra early world wonder

The four settlers fast is:

Liberty induced settler
+ two slow built settlers & a cash built settler.
The cash one being easiest if your playing Spain and have a Natural Wonder nearby.

when combining with 4 workers, chances are one of the workers is Liberty built, and two are either stolen from a city state and/or found in a barb encampment and kept, so that only one had to be built.

At immortal it's possible to build the GL after 4 cities but you need to be lucky(around turn 40-45 built). You have more chances from medieval wonders later. The sword rush let you have a chance to capture one of these early wonders.

How to get 4 cities and 4 workers by turn 45 :

scout-monument and maybe warrior or another scout in cap(to 3)-settler-settler

citizenship first, making 4 settlers by turn 35

Workers : read Aoxomoxoa(not an easy name to write) post. If you try the GL from capital, build a worker from a productive 2nd city. If you sword rush an opponent, don't build a 4th worker you will get some free later and probably buy another one from conquests. If you don't do anything mentioned you can build one from first 3 cities.

In a multiplayer duel this is possible.

turn 46-50 ish:

6-7 cities. 3-4 workers and Longswords. (I usually find I have enough money to upgrade 2-3 at the time and hardbuild the rest and upgrading the other 6-7 swords I usually have at the time on the go.

Even against good oponents this is possible. U must get France to make it this quick + that the opponent don t go for GL opening thought and that u ll be able to get GL for the LS slingshot together with liberty GP finisher (GS)
