Civilization Revolution: Great People

A new book entry has been added:

Civilization Revolution: Great People

Quote:
Civilization Revolution has six different types of Great People that provide special abilities upon their appearance. The six types are Great Artist/Thinker, Great Builder, Great Humanitarian, Great Explorer/Industrialist, Great Leader, and Great Scientist.
Every type of great people can do two things. The first is a one-time immediate bonus, which will consume the great person. Some examples of one time bonuses are instant completion of a wonder and increase population of all your cities. The second use is settlement bonus, which provides the host city benefits such as reduced building cost, experience for newly created units, and culture/science bonus. Note that only the great people settled in cities count toward cultural victory.

Doesn't it seem as though the great people are a little overpowered?

A Superconductor... get it?!

In case you missed the humor, Leopold Stokowski is, apparently a "Great Engineer" in this game.

In reality, he was a world-famous orchestra conductor that was the pioneer of the "Pops" concert. While it is a bit odd that he is considered a Great Engineer, I do find great amusement that the tech associated with him is... The Superconductor.

Well played.

Good point I didn't realize that.
