Poll: Next Build for Sirius to work on

[AlphaShard]

So the next options to build are: Settler, Worker, Warrior, Workboat and Barracks.

Once the city grows to level 2 we can work the 3H and shave three turns off (7 to 4) on the workboat.

You left off warrior working fish, which is a serious option - it's a least another potentially optimal point on the hammer/beaker trade off curve. The idea would be to switch to a worker after growing to size 2. It's better than working the hill, why would we build a workboat first if we're not going to work the fish?

Either way though my options 1 and 2 from the other thread are included, so it doesn't change my vote though.

Although I will also mention that 15 turns on workboat with fish is a bit misleading. Once we grow we can work the hill, so it will only take 9 turns in total to get the second workboat. Not sure what you mean by "7 to 4" in your post above? Are you comparing to working the silk or something? Even that cuts it down to 12 total.

The 7 to 4 was working the 3h hill an fish tiles. Which is exactly what you said about reducing the turns for wb.

I'm not sure that a poll is the best way to settle this. Polls are good for simple yes/no decisions, but not so good for complicated strategic decisions. People may vote without having understood or thought through the relevant calculations. I'd much prefer to come to a consensus through discussion in the threads than to set up a poll where we might make a decision based on what "feels right" rather than what's numerically best.

Personally, I still haven't done the required tests to figure out whether Work Boat or Worker next is best.

Personally I don't believe this has been discussed enough to even consider a poll. Many are going to vote without all the facts and then after more discussion decide they want to change their vote.

I'm sorry I'm just trying to get some sort of consensus it does seem like the WB is the best choice we can grow our city and get the fish settled and be able to build the worker quicker after the 2nd WB is done.

Work Boat was calculated as being best, correct?

 

[DaveShack]

I think what to build and what tiles to work are different questions.
Build a workboat, use whatever tiles are best.

The question about builds and what tiles to work is being discussed in the turn tracker discussion thread with game files and spreadsheets galore
