I quite like settling great engineers in cities that will be building Spaceship parts.

How many beakers would we approximately get by bulbing the GE? (There is some formula for that, but I don't know where it is)

 

[dutchfire]

1000 + 2 * Population beakers. So by calculating our population, using this formula and dividing it by the number of beakers after multipliers, we should be able to find the break-even point for beakers. Then there still is hammer production.

Is that allways the formel for bulb techs with CP. Or is this different for various GP.
Or where can i find this?

 

[dutchfire]

Different GPs have different values. Google search Great Person lightbulbing and you'll find it in one of VoiceOfUnreason's posts.

It's a Great Engineer, I haven't done anything with him yet.

Closer thought, maybe a job in Coppertown would do him well, churning out new units.

I doubt we'll need any more units, possibly the whole game unless we think some tanks and bombers would be fun to build.

Yeah, thanks to a good military production, research and civics strategy combined, we had only 4 accidental losses. This war strategy also removes any doubt that was shed on my proposal to go all infantry and forget cavalry, and this holds true for other issues as well.

The combination of researching Rifle, keeping Vassalage and building only macemen (city raider promoted) and going for 4 cities at once assured this win. I think we can safely change civics next session (leaving vassalage and serfdom), and conquest the remainder of Rome asap.
