So I've wondered for a while if Terracotta Army is just one of the greatest wonders in the game, but its just slept on a bit due to the spread out nature of its yields. Its easy to lose track on how many units are killed, and so how much bonus does it actually provide?
But here comes Vern to the rescue. His AI statistics allow us for the first time to get a true informed glance at just how good TA is. What we did is look at all AIs that choose authority of their policy (to focus on more warfare like play). He then got the average kills for each era across many many many games played. This in turn tells us how many yields on average the wonder is generating. Now I ignored classical era because its hard to gauge just when someone would get the wonder, so we look at it from medieval onward.
And so without further ado....the numbers:
I'll stop there for now to let people give their thoughts. Is that way too much culture, is that a reasonable amount?
