the dude is not in
Playing Ramesses on Monarch, sweet food&hills rich spot, I built GW and Pyramids, so now around 300 BC a great engineer popped up of course. I'm sure many people have been in a similar situation. What oh what should that engineer do?
I haven't got alphabet yet, neither does anyone I've met. But I'm sure they're ahead of me, my SE is hardly running yet. So, what to do with the engineer? The only wonders currently available are temple of artemis and the parthenon. Not really worth it I think. Settling him is a daring move, but probably too slow for monarch. I'm thinking of lightbulbing metal casting and researching alphabet, to trade metal casting for perhaps two of IW, horseback riding, mathematics.
Would such a trade be likely? If not, should I keep him to build the Great Library? Or should I trade metal casting away multiple times for much cheaper techs? Because it's nice to lightbulb an expensive tech, but does its cost really pay off in trading possibilities?
