Yes, Andy-Man, to echo EOL, players have tested whether that really is worth the free worker. I used to always keep NON settlers to work without food use. I've since been convinced it is much better to settle him as soon as you find a good site. Sure, take the time to build a road from your capitol to the new site if it's nearby. But nomads pop out of huts much more frequently (a difference between once or twice a game and ten or more!) if you use them to settle.

Some time ago someone did an experiment to see whether it was better to plant two cities or use one of the NON settlers to build road, irrigate, etc. Their conclusion was that planting two cities was better because you get twice the science from two cities.
I apologize for not recalling more details about this study.If you can not think of a good reason to build something other than a caravan, build a caravan!Comment
