Here's what happens when a barb successfully defends against a hero unit at long odds:

Lost another 90% battle on Ilian lands. Our defenses are starting to look too weak as is so I dialed up couple of warriors more. I'll let Barnaxus slayer to attack city/pillage mine. The main problem is that it has another warrior coming alongside so we need sufficient force to kill both warriors before we can attack and I just don't have enough to do that.

Here's a picture of the situation at Ithralia:

I guess we have an answer on whether we can build Shrine of the Champion after rebuilding Barnaxus (no frown).

Illian overview. A settler is sitting at "A", which is where plako was talking about building his next city. I argued for "B".

Clown overview. I have a settler at "C", ready to build a city.

Graphs, since we haven't posted them in a while:

Alright - right answer is then to get Barnaxus killed again and leave him in pieces until Shrine of the Champion is ready. In Golden age that comes very fast.

Let's take B for Ilians then. Wines on 1st ring is good idea after all.

The super barb and his escort did just pillage the mine on their turn. I hope they attack next turn so I could get rid of them. Me attacking out is probably too reckless. Assuming you move your warrior inside my city I had to consider it.

Yes, my warrior is headed for your capital. I haven't checked the numbers, but I doubt that attacking out will be successful. Are you planning to suicide Barnaxus so you can build the Shrine of the Champion?

Yes. I'll suicide Barnaxus as soon as I'm confident I can get rid of super barb.

My newest freak:

Too good for a freak show. I need to build up some XP on this guy; his speed could be very useful.

I've been doing some number crunching on worker actions. If we want to be obsessive about this, a mix of normal worker and mud golem actions is optimal for improving a lot of tiles (mud golems (MG) do 150/turn, normal workers (W) do 100/turn):

Chop Burnt Forest: 83 (1t W)
Road: 134 (1t MG)
Chop Forest: 167 (2t W)
Mine, Pasture, Camp, Cottage, Chop Jungle: 268 (2t MG)
Farm, Windmill, Plantation, Winery, Chop Ancient Forest: 335 (1t MG, 2t W)
Workshop, Quarry: 402 (3t MG)
Lumbermill, Fort: 536 (3t MG, 1t W)
