Good Date to Get WC

[docbud]

What is a good time to get the World Congress and be the host?

I am only playing on prince level, and usually the WC never shows up until 1800 or so [I play for fun and not rushing stuff].

But tonight I decided to play Polynesia (archipelago [however you spell] and I discovered every civ by turn 120. This is after I built the Great Library and National College. It is turn 200 and I have settled my third city and looking good for gold and happiness.

Anyway--I am curious as to what is good timing for the World Congress. I am the host and it occurred at turn 190, 1310 AD. Prince level.

Is that good or bad?

I want to pat myself on the back, but am not sure if I should or not.

Oh--And by his time, I did research Printing Press and had the Forbidden Palace.

Is turn 190 and 1310 AD a decent time to be host of the World Congress?

I do realize it's *only* Prince level.

I can't believe how powerful Polynesia is...

If you plan to game WC, the best time is when you've got Forgotten palace built or nearing completion.

You can't really found the WC too soon, at least by much, since it requires the printing press.
