What's that 60h coming from? I assume 2 forest chops? This is normal but you're pre-math, so those should be 20h each. Unless you have 3 workers already?

I would try and find a way to turn a 4->2 whip + 2 chops into a Worker+Settler. Best way to do is sandbox  .

An Imperialistic civ does want to build settlers with hammers not food, but chops accomplish the same thing. Also you don't want to run into anger problems and have your 5th citizen idle. (I can't tell for sure if you'd regrow to 5 before the anger clock ran out.)

I believe the tradeoff was whipping from 3->2 instead of 4->2 .

Ah, perfect revolt while the first settler is traveling. You get a micromanagement gold star.

Three of them would be hitting top20 on the MP ladder, killing NumberOneMercury (arguably the best player) in an MP game, and winning on Immortal for the first time via a military victory. The fourth is probably something I've forgotten but mattered at the time
My overall experiences in the 'Poly Demogame were better than any of those, but that game didn't have the same degree of key moments (for example the final victory was pretty hollow).
