I think the shrine will pay off better via natural spreads. It just has to go to 5 cities to beat the commerce from a settled GP.
I didn't say delay this war for elephants.We're not teching fast enought to justify the delay teching HBR provides. Better strike fast
the theology bulb was just a weird left-field idea that came up in my head and I thought 'hey, this might work but I've never seen it happen before'
I thought we're using the GP for a shrine, not a theo bulb...
Conditions that make a shrine good:
* Spiritual (temples, OR) - yes
* building it early - pretty much yes
* religion wonders - well, Pericles does have Stone...
* needing - yes, but there are other ways to get it
* having a monastery already - yes, but the effect is modest
* widespread religion - no
* large map - no
* peace to build missionaries - no
* diplo reason to run the religion - no, unless we spread it aggressively

I'm looking forward to the next war. The whipping micro will be interesting. I assume we're agreed on Pericles, for the Pyramids. But if we win, I doubt this game will give us a good chance to see the Kremlin in action. I don't think Willem will be far enough ahead of us, and he's very peaceful. So if we do well in our catapult war, I propose we declare victory and restart on Hemispheres.
I agree with you, if the next war is a succes we might want to restart on a map with several continent so we get to see the Kremlin in action ...
I couldn't play yesterday... Is the team OK to let me one more day? I believe Rusten has problems with its internet connection so there is no hurry...
Cheers,
Raskolnikov
ps: I think we'll go for a shrine...
You'll get another day if you build us that shrine
Don't hurry. Patience
