Honestly my starts are so inconsistent that I find it hard to remember exactly what I did. I went back and tried it again to try to refresh my memory before responding, but I think I'm already doing things differently. I believe that after the first worker popped, I started on a settler while improving the cow. After the cow was improved, I switched to a warrior while growing to size 2, worker improves the rice. At size 2, I switched back to settler. After the rice was improved, I still had I think 8 turns left for BW, so I improved a farm below the rice that Utrecht could use. This left me in an awkward spot with my worker, because he had 3 turns to spare and only needed 1.Today I noticed that if I work the lake tiles for a few turns on settler #1, I can immediately start chopping after the farm. Not sure if it's worthwhile since it delays the first settler a few turns.
After the settler popped, I believe I built a second worker in 6 turns, Utrecht grew to size 2 on the farm while the worker chopped out a workboat and then improved the cow. I think Utrecht put a few hammers into a barracks while growing to size 3, and then the worker chopped Utrecht's last forest into a settler for the cow/clams city near khmer. Worker then went ahead of the settler to begin chopping for a workboat there .Looking at this again today I'm not quite sure how it worked out, because the settler takes 4 turns after the chop to finish.. edit: maybe I actually chopped the workboat from the capital with worker#2? I remember it being delayed..
In the meantime Amsterdam put hammers into a barracks while worker2 chopped, and I switched back into a settler whenever the chop was done. After I think two chops, I began improving farms for the horse city.
