I'm not sure what was just said here.vanatteveld is right here, i really think the slavery bonus is forgotten sometimes. I remember playing a walkthrough here and i got some comments how i hadn't really micromanaged the forge to avoid rounding errors. But whipping is the main reason to build these buildings, 2 pop whip with forge is 15 extra hammers. It depends on how much you've rexed but typically an early courthouse in an average city (not an extremely outward one because there courthouse should go first indeed). saves you ~ 2g gpt, apart from whipping a forge will give you 2 extra hammers once you've 8+ H production.
Simple,I'm not sure what was just said here.
Its all in the numbers. Unless were talking distanced (from palace) production cities, you're overwhelmingly better off with a market. And the flow of the game usually goes through mercantilism, so you'll want the forge. Unless org, forge. Courthouses are only the final purse strings to the economy. They're the post-bank, corp-anticipating build.

NOT always. What Code of LAws allows you
1) Poternial founded religion
2) Courthouses
3) Caste system.
The key for a crashed economy after war is Caste, not courthouses. Caste system allows
1) Fast border pops by running an artist specialist eliminating the need for monuments
2) Instant access to Merchant specialists rather than waiting to build pricey markets
3) Unlimited Scientists for research while you are building courthouses
Code of Laws and Currency are equal in my opinion and either is acceptible to tech first.
@Madscientist,
Indeed caste can help and yes being able to run merchants often helps more and quicker than courthouses. I tend to rely very heavily on slavery in that part of the game though so for me it's often not optimal to do it. But as huerfanista says it depends and everything i've stated in this threat is what imo works most often (for me that is ). There are thousand exceptions to almost every rule in Civ.
Being spiritual as when being organized col just shines. Doesn't slavery just scale with the marathon speed?
