More Wonders for our Nation?

[DaveShack]

Styx would be very interested in hosting the United Nations. It would be our turn given the recent activity.

Are there any other big projects other than wall street before then?

 

[RegentMan]

There's the intelligence agency if we research espionage.

 

[Furiey]

Communism is out there for trade now and hopefully Espionage will be before long. I feel we would be better off if we keep researching on the essential path for the next age and buy the extra techs if we need them.

 

[TimBentley]

Wall Street is available (Olympus, Civantonia or Besancon would be good).

 

[Rik Meleet]

I propose to not build it in Olympus or Priapos. Reason = Olympus is nicely on 80 shields per turn - Cav every turn and Priapos is needed for building a navy.

 

[Furiey]

A quick list of how long each city would take to build Wall street.

[FONT="Courier New"]City        Time Comments
Olympus        4 Can build Cavs in 1
Civantonia     4 Can build Infantry in 1
Basancon       4 Can build Cavs in 1
Rome           4 Building Police, Can build Cavs in 1, will build Infantry in 1
Berlin         4 Can't quite get Cavs in 1, but could with 1 more citizen
Augean Stables 4 Can't quite get Cavs in 1, could with 1 more tile mined?
Styx           4 Part way through a Cav or would be 5, could build ships
Priapos        7 But can build ships  [/FONT]

It's pretty much 4 turns once workers are replaced on previously polluted tiles, but some cities can build units in 1 turn, so we would lose 4 units in the time taken to build it versus 2 from a city that would take 2 turns for a unit. Knocking off the unit in 1 turn cities gives Berlin, AS, and Styx.

Berlin could be got to Cavs in 1 with a Worker join and has the Heroic Epic.
Augean Stables could be got to Cavs in 1 with another plains mined (I think) and Has Knights Templar and Battlefield Medicine.
Styx can build ships and has the Sistine Chapel.

 

[Furiey]

Anyone have any preference for a city?

I think I would go for the Augean Stables and allow Styx to build ships (and be ready to pre-build for the UN) while joining another Worker to Berlin to allow it to do Cavs in 1.

 

[TimBentley]

Actually Augean Stables and Berlin could get to 80spt with laborer reallocation. Anyways, Augean Stables would be fine (its income would be better with a taxman/scientist (depending on need) than a policeman at the current science rate anyways).

 

[RegentMan]

Building it in the Augean Stables is fine with me.

 

[Cyc]

Sounds like a plan, Furiey. Everyone seems to be on the same page.

 

[TimBentley]

We can now build the Pentagon (although it won't really help) and Manhattan Project.

 

[Furiey]

Anyone want any of these Wonders? I suppose if we get a Leader we could build them, or alternatively use the Leader for an expensive spaceship part.

 

[Cyc]

Not really....

 

[RegentMan]

I'd love for us to be able to say "Well, we dropped da bomb in Demogame VII!"
