We have 50 turns before we start to lose hammers. If you can tell me when the decay starts I'll finish the library then. .
Nitpick: The GL and two scientists makes 3 more sources, not 2.With the GL being done on the turn before we throw in 2 more sources of GS points (The GL itself as well as 2 Scientists)
I agree, so I'd say let's delay completing the Great Library for a couple of turns until we have the prophet - I think we can risk that, given the head start we should have on the wonder.if we don't get a Great Prophet here, it will be very hard to get this game.)
Getting that great Prophet is very important... even just a couple % points extra is too much risk imho.
Like Kylearan says, the risk of losing the GL is very very slight... so we should try to make our odds of getting a Great Scientist on our first pop equally slight.
I don't like giving up 8 gpp and 6 beakers for a tiny chance at a great prophet. A scientist is more valuable than a prophet anyway in our current situtation.
I'm sure we will pop at least 4 more GPs from the capital, all with 25% chance of a prophet.
