Hey guys

Just wondering if the +2 :culture: per specialist from this building applies to all specialists in your empire, or just specialists in the city that the Hall of Kings is built in?

Thanks

Throughout the entire empire.

NICE! Thanks Monkeyfinger...

Btw anyone got any idea how early this tends to be built on prince difficulty epic speed?

Thanks

If the Calabim is one of the AIs, very early. Don't even think about trying to pursue the hall of kings if that case. Otherwise, you should have no trouble winning a race to it.

Yeah I know the Calabims obsession with this wonder... still... how early is early? Im quite advanced in my game and think I can win the race to engineering before they finish with the wonder. I just need an approximate turn that they tend to complete this wonder...

Interestingly Alexis is near my starting position!

Why are Calabim obsessed with it, anyway?

Any AI who gets feudalism tries hard to build the wonder. The Calabim are obsessed with Feudalism because... well, you know.

Doesn't this wonder also provide + 2 :culture: for citizen specialists too? I seem to remember that Caste System adds the + 1 :science: and + 2 :culture: to citizens but I haven't built this wonder in a long time so I could be wrong.

Caste System provides +1:science: and +2:culture: to all specialists. So if you also have teh Hall of Kings all specialists provide an extra +4:culture: to whatever else they did already. A good addition to this strategy is the Great Library which iirc provides +2:science: to all specialists as well.

That's my understanding of it anyway.

The great library adds +1 Sci to sages and great sages. Scholarship adds an additional +1 sci to all specialists. In total a sage can get +6 science +4 culture +3 GPP.
