I've done some testing.
Yan'an test:
worker whip / part granary / worker whip / finish granary
T18: size 1, 11/22f, 2h OF, pig / horse / 3 more worker turns
Gua test:
worker whip / granary whip / wb whip / galley whip / chariot whip / LH whip (also includes one chop)
T23 gift and recapture
Worker: corn farm, chop, 2 roads for TR, 3t into rice farm before city gift, completes rice after recapture.
Toku had just mined iron in Manchou by this point. Our bomber can be back for bombardment there after all the recon in the west. We can have 3 chariots from Beijing, as well. Edit: or other units. Beijing is cranking out hammers at this point (pop 4 growing to 5).
We lose the Gua fish tile to Churchill for 2t after recapture
Stole a worker from Stalin, and he was willing to CF after 4t.
DoW'd Toku for a recapture of Gua, sent a chariot to pillage his iron mine at Manchou, and his LB left the city to attack my chariot. He had 2 archers left in the city. After I killed the LB with another chariot, one of the archers also attacked.
When I stole DG's worker with an archer, his LB didn't attack, but there was only one archer in the city (Shanghai builds wb first, so it's behind on production).
It would be great to draw the LBs out. How does this work? Toku has high attack courage, I assume.
We can easily circumnav E-W from Washington. N-S doesn't work. If we use Mongolia and Toku's capital (would need OB for this), we are 3 tiles short.
