ThePlagueRat,

as soon as Barcelona will have her Temple built, she will be able to work on her hills tiles. This will boost her production potential (assuming that we let Barcelona reach a good pop size)

Madrid should build the settler instead.
It would be done faster, and Madrid can't grow anymore now. Result: Lower production value in Madrid for some time, but what the heck?! We don't have a road connection to iron...


Concerning territories, Barcelona will never gain the most promising due to it's location. astrologix is right with the Temple, border expansion will gain 3 hills and some ocean in first range.

Ok, even before that time comes the closest hill can be worked upon by Barcelonas own workers, if we enhance growth now.
A harbour will drastically increase population, helping Barcelona provide for its own workers... (not slowing other projects)
It's a totally independent project, if you view it from this angle, making many possible queues: e.g. HWTW, HTWW, HWWTW.
All beginning with Harbour.

ThePlagueRat,

You are probably right, but we need Madrid still producing military units for a while (swordmen and Horesemen).

Our military is still weak regarding a possible ND attack, I would improve it first.

Yeah, and Madrid has been one of our paradoxes all the way.
As you say, Madrid prod. should be dedicated to military for some time.

[edit] I see the road has been complete and connecting Madrid. Now there is not a gap in time anymore to build a settler before horsemen. So I suggest sticking to the mil.buildup plan.
