Great artists and landmarks

[Poul Abildgaard]

Hi. I Can read that great artists give a bonus in culture when they construct a landmark but I cannot see any boost in the cultural points. Is that a bug or do I look the wrong place? Thanks for any help.

I never build Landmarks (I only use GA's for Golden Ages or Culture Bombs), but I'm pretty sure you would have to have a Citizen actually work the tile. Just switch one in Citizen Management to find out.

Settle your great artist on an otherwise low value tile that can be worked by your best city -- normally your capitol. Initially the settled GA gives 6 , but that is doubled when you complete the Freedom policy tree. If you manage to build The Hermitage and Sydney Opera House in the same city then that great artist culture is doubled and the multiplied again by 1.5 -- so it does add up to a considerable amount. I also try to build The Louvre & settle the two free great artists near the same city.

look inside the city screen and make sure tile yields are on. there will be a icon on the tile
