Hi!
There are some tiles im very doubtful about if it is worth working or better wipped away:
(assuming food is bottleneck, no happycap, granary, pre-biology and no corps)
1. plain hills: what to do with these? I heard its more productive to whip these away below size 10 than working a mine. the reason is whipping converts 1 foodsurplus to more than 2 hammers while the plainhillmine converts it to 2 hammers. So is it better to ignore plainhills until machinery? Is it worth working with windmill
(1 foodsurplus=2hammers,1gold)? Even here its 1 gold vs production from whipping minus 2 hammers/foodsurplus. Does riverside or not decide if its worth it?
2. plains flatland(food is bottleneck): what would you do?
a) farming: each tile is foodneutral but produce one hammer.
b) cottage: use city 2 foodsurplus to work 2 cottages and never be able to work the rest of the land, stopping growth at size 2
c) use the 2 free food for whipping
d) would riverside change your answer?
Cities in such lands should ofc be avoided but brown tiles are common so most cities have these dilemmas.
3. whip or work? citysize less than 10
a)desert/snow tundra mine
b) desert/snow tundra windmill
c) would riverside change your answer?
