- Balance science from Great Scientists and culture from Great Writers. Both scale with empire production. Maybe going back to one Free Tech / Free Policy is not a bad idea.
- In early game the profit from Great Scientist / Great Writer usually is to small to use them due to small empire and low science / culture production per city. (Most of the productive buildings are still to be researched.)
- In late game playing wide with dozens of cities with laboratories and Science Bonus from SP, a Great Scientist can give free science worth 2 or more free techs.
- Culture from Great Writers scales with empire culture production and so profits from wonders, social policies, +20% Culture from Golden Age and the +100% Culture of World Fair. Culture from Great Writers so can vary from just some culture early game to 1-2 free policies depending on the right time to use them.
