The way I understand our plans is that we are to take Washington, NY, then sue for peace, gaining tech, cash, and a city.
Now, there may be someone who knows the code the AI uses when bargaining, and can say the AI would never go for it, but would it not be more beneficial to destroy Philly as the second target and then gain NY in negotiations for peace? I understand we will rebuild on or near there anyway if we destroy NY, why not save that settler for something else, perhaps securing that Iron to the west? (yes, yes, it is in the middle of the Jungle, but it IS Iron and a possible future site of Ironworks)
A byproduct of such a move would be that it would move our army MUCH closer to France in the process. Thereby speeding our conquest of thier lands and Iron.
