Cattle: Road or Mine first?

[Kloreep]

New information has come up in the worker debate; specifically, a simulation I ran in Civ3 1.29, using the editor to create a starting position similiar to ours. This simulation showed mining the cattle first would have no effect on how fast our first warriors are produced, whereas roading first would speed up our research of Bronze Working by a turn.

I think the choice is obvious (unless you're pro-irrigation).

Tied? And with only 4 votes?

Time for a *bump*.

well i voted for mining at first, but I changed my mind and voted for road after i read your info on subject. So when I played the turn I had our only worker build a road.

So this poll is already outdated? Cool.

Looks like I have missed my first poll... I thought I would do the maths myself first, as roading first did not seem obvious to me, despite Kloreep's simulation... I just wanted to see with my own eyes... But setting up all those threads kept me busy for too long... and now it's too late.

I promise I will vote next time...
