I'm working on some marathon diplo games at Settler level and developing a strategy for them. In my most recent game on Tiny Great Plains, I managed to research Mass Media at 500 BC (but had no way to build the UN). My first question is: Does an engineer build the UN in one turn or does it just apply a number of hammers?
Generating an engineer seems to be pretty tough with a GP heavy early strategy and my thinking is to chop all the western forests for the UN when it is available, rush with an engineer, and/or buy the rest. Is this a viable method? So far I am getting plenty of Gr Scientists to research with, perhaps I can pop out some merchants to have a nice stash of gold to rushbuy the thing? Any ideas?
