Ah, the mechanics of a +5fpt granary-fed settler/worker pump.
Dom's right, you will get to the point where you can just look at the screen and see +5 food sites.
I got that part down pretty easily. I needed Dom's help, though, with shield output. I had a shield-poor site that lacked forest, and was running a 5-turn settler pump (2 turns for workers though) until Dom straightened me out.
The micromanagement of a settler pump isn't actually that bad, particularly if you get the magical +5 food. For more impressive MM, see if you can dig up what Dominae did in the AU succession game with a +6fpt capable site (sharing a particular tile between 2 cities to get them both to average +5fpt). THAT is mircomanagement, my friend. And it is beyond what I'm willing to do in a SP environment.
