Personally, I don't want to use up any slaves until we know how many we will be getting from GCA. The best way to use the slaves is to pair them up (atleast until we get Democracy), so we don't want any odd numbers if we can help it.

Normally I'd agree, but with all this jungle we'll get FAR more useful turns out of a regular Worker, even if it costs more in upkeep.

There is no way around it, Trip. Even with vast jungle to clear, a slave is better... that extra gpt can be invested in rushing a normal worker if you want. And while I agree that slaves are better teamed up, they can be useful if put on not so urgent jobs, or to do 'half' jobs in certain governments.

By the way, Slave Worker plus Industrious Worker lays a Road down in 2 turns without loss of Worker-turns. This is more efficient that using two Industrious Workers. Not terribly important, mind you, but something to keep in mind.

It's a shame we don't have more flat land to take advantage of that.

Industrious Worker plus Slave Worker performs Clear Jungle in 8 turns, compared to 6 turns for two Industrious Workers. After this, they can again work together to Road the new Grassland in 2 turns. So, yes, there is the opportunity to take advantate of this fact.

I believe we're reaching the point where the difference between 6 turns and 8 to Clear Jungle is not that important. So I hope E_T keeps this discussion in mind.

Go E_T!

Oh, Workers are always on my mind... But I had forgotten the value of a slave EVEN at this point in time.

Oh, so that we are all on the same base, We will call all our workers Natives (or Native Workers) and any captured workers Slaves.

I just hope that we don't get into a big argument sometime in the far future about repatriating the slaves....

This isn't the SPDG or RP, we have no qualms with beating those little guys into submission to achieve victory.
