Great Writer: When do you use political treatise?

Great works don't add THAT much culture. Not compared to working 4 guild slots + buildings. Especially if you don't have the wonders to put said great works in.

Something to consider is that as you all know, the World's Fair comes pretty early, which can unfortunately be a bad thing.

Winning the World's Fair doubles culture per turn, but even with that, in my current game, by the Atomic Era my cpt exceeded the cpt I was making after winning the World's Fair by far. Definitely bulb Great Writers by that time.

Do any of you deliberately try to delay the World's Fair? I delayed it to the second World Congress session, but delaying it any further than that might have caused it to get in the way of other things I wanted proposed, like World Religion and World Ideology.

I have to respectfully disagree with the Nunn, I think +2 culture/+2 suitcases early is just about useless. Opening Rationalism or getting +2 science per specialist at least 8 turns earlier is more beneficial.



I bulb them or save them to be bulbed for virtually the entire game; if I am going for a CV, I may plant them post-Internet, of course.



As far as Artists go, I usually bulb them as well early on -- who doesn't love +20% culture, production, and gold?

Using your line of argument, yeah I'd rather build Petra or buy a Pagoda than make great works.
