Trying https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/immaw-suleiman-alone-in-the-dark.563038/ I found I limited in unit production rate.
Capital is around hills with large food surplus. Mines gives +4H-2F or +3H-1F.
But other territory is either:
* with minor food surplus and without hills
* without any food surplus and with hills
* without any food surplus and without hills
Placing city in the last location is probably bad idea until Civil Service (for spreading irrigation).
So there are two questions:
* how to convert food to hammers when there is food surplus
* how to supply food if there are hills
If we are near river and without hills we can build farms and with Forge keep one Engineer. So 3 citizen (2 on farm + 1 as specialist) give: 2*3F + 2H + 3S - 3*2F = (+2H+3S) / 3citiz. Eventually you get Great Person but unfortunately you settle them in you capital for research multipliers because of Representation ((
If we are near river and without hills our 3 citizens provides (2 farms + 1 plain hill): 2*3F + 4H - 3*2F = 4H / 3citiz.
If there are hills but there is no food extra Machinery may help.
