Can you make some extra cash by plundering yourself?
The strategy would be to find an unworked tile, build an improvement there, and then plunder it. Lather, rinse, repeat.
For this to work, you need (1) an unworked but improvable tile; (2) one or more idle workers; and (3) a unit to do the plundering. All of these seem plausible. Speaking only for myself, I seem to have a lot of idle workers hanging around in the midgame (right before Railroad, especially) and in the late game.
The best would be a hill tile that can be mined. Mines pay an average of 10 gold. If you have two workers, you could build a mine every two turns. That works out to 5 gpt, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Am I missing something?
