Great Person Farm 1st Time...

[cabert]

If you can get a shrine this big, it's obvious to build Wall Street there.

With that many cities under your influence, why haven't you won the game yet?

he just has the shrine
he doesn't have the cities

Thank for the reply.

I am currently doing

(2) Run a "specialist economy" where you generate nearly all of your science with specialists. Farm over that city, and maybe some of your other cities, and hire scientist specialists in all of them for your science.

I think even at end game I will be limited more by unhealthyness and unhappyness than food as theres quite a few flood plains.

I'm just wondering what I should do if I want to get a Great Prophet, or Engineer ect, should I just switch the specialists or cottage the spare tiles, work them then put a load of specialists in one of my other cities that has say the Hanging Gardens where i'm garenteed to get an Engineer?

As I understand it just swapping in my science city would mean I only have a chance of getting a different great person due to the Great Libraries GP going towards Scientists.

p.s. I think this is the most effective science city I have ever had, I usually just cottage everything but decided to try a specialist science city and looks to be working awesome atm.
