Btw, got a question about Great Tool Factory and Great Arsenal: I know the req is 8 palaces. Does that mean that having 16 palaces would allow you to build 6 Great Arsenal tho? It seems like the cap right now, out of 8 palaces, is 3 GA and 3 GTF.
I just finished a game where all my towns were riverside to maximize the usage of some buildings, GTF being 1, but noticed I could only build 3 of them. I tried building more but couldnt.
I think a notice regarding this limit should be added in the description in the pedia. Its minor, but tought I'd throw this in as it had me confused and I'm still not sure if you're limited to 3 GTF and 3 GA per civilization or if its 3 of each buildings for each sets of 8 palaces. I'm asking because I'm thinking about building 16 palaces for 6 GTF and 6 GA in my next game and I wanna know if this'll work before doing so
Also, from what I saw, the only possibility to get the Central Custom is by building 3 coastal cities, correct? The extra 400 storage you get by getting the Central Custom over the reg one isnt worth the strategical edge you give up from having 1 coastal city compared to 3 vs the REF. There should be a bigger incentive there to get 3 costal cities to get the Central Custom. The 400 extra storage and extra 10% arent worth it compared to what you lose vs the REF.
Another thing, I saw the option of being able to cut down the REF to 2/3 or something (custom game). I was wondering if there's a way (besides bells) for the REF to be much bigger. I just finished a game on the hardest and I removed any REF forces as they landed basically (the same strategy from 1994 Col). I was able to get the REF forces bigger in the late game by getting my rebel % count before declaring Independance up to 94$ (then got it down to 74-75% as I bought tons of colonists in Europe to make them cuirassiers), giving the REF 720+ soldiers, 340+ cuir, 350+ hess, 180+ drag hoping this'd be hard to wipe, but that wasnt the case.
Any other way to make the REF forces bigger besides the rebel % ? Thats the only 1 I found so far. I'd like to know if there are other ways to improve the REF forces besides that way.
Am still wondering about those points. I'd like to know if anyone has any awnsers for those.
