FP in 1.15

[SirPleb]

Yup, a military leader can rush the Palace. This is an interesting discussion indeed. I've saved a file from my current game this evening with an unused leader. I'll go back later and see what difference it can make to move the Palace and/or FP around within my existing territory. Might be some time before I do that, this game is looking good and may go all the way. For now I'm converting the leader to another Knight army

I'd say yes for Colossus, no for Pyramids. Yes for any wonder which affects productivity of only the city where it is built, e.g. the science wonders. By putting that wonder together with FP you increase its effectiveness a tad by having it multiply less corrupted earnings. But I don't think the effect is strong enough to overshadow appropriate placement, it should only be used when both purposes (FP and the other wonder involved) are already each well served by the same location.

Hummm, I am going to have to re-evaluate after reading your discussion. Since the FP seems to only have dramatic effect on one city the bump in one city later might well be overcome by early boast early. I have been waiting too long. It's just so very very annoying to see all that good GW income get swandered by corruption and waste.

BTW, I have noticed the AI tends to stand GW's in a few cities. In current game, I delayed my FP until I had a good location for it. It now is in the city with Colossus and GL.

Thanks for your advice.

PF

If you really want to experiment with moving the Palace or FP around an empire my 27288 Monarch HOF game has a MGL left near the capital in the 2050 AD submission. I wanted to do the same experiment but haven't taken the time. I took a quick lok at it after I submitted but it takes some time to go through all your cities and rebalance your specialists.
