I just did another playthrough and bulit the NE in the capital EOT111. I think the barracks whip overflow in Bitter should go into Parthenon, so we can cash it out sooner. I don't think NE will finish before it, no matter where we build it.
BM will build its settler with maximum overflow, being at 99/100; I think that's fine, because we don't want the city any sooner, anyway. We will get currency on the turn we settle that city; need to run 20% science or something on the turn before. Five workers need to scoot over to farm the corn on its first turn, chop the silk forest into a granary on the second turn, and complete the silk plantation on the third turn. Then four of them can pasture the cow and proceed to build some more cottages for WIFOM. That all works out nicely.
We need a settler for the ivory/sugar site. Maybe BM should just go on to build that one as well? It can only grow onto scientists, anyway, with its current improvements. In my sim the capital grew into unhappiness on T112; so that would make a good date for settling this city. The workers in the north need to chop out the Parthenon, so probably hard to get much worker support before then, anyway.
In terms of timing the golden age, maybe wait until we have researched code of laws? Our second GP should pop at the same time; if it's a scientist, it can bulb philosophy. Then we could fire the golden age and run caste/pacifism. Civil service should take about 5 turns at break-even science at that point, so we could swap into Bureaucracy after 5 turns.

If you know what I mean.
All the chops are coming in on T97, too, so you'd just end up building the NE instead of the GLib. If we want more failgold, we should dump more whip overflows into the Glib elsewhere, before completing it.
