Great Person

[dutchfire]

A new great person will be born in Berlin in 2 turns.

Current chances: 31% Great Prophet, 4% Great Scientist, 63% Great Engineer.

A great engineer would be best used to partially complete the Statue of Liberty IMO.
A great prophet should be settled in our probable future wall-street city Equus Aurum IMO.
In the off-chance we get a Great Scientist, we should probably build an academy somewhere. (What happened last time we had a Great Person btw?)

PS. Maybe we should have another short 2-turn session to see what we get.

This is really a far look into the future but can't we safe a GE for the Three Gorges Dam?

I'd rather have the SoL that (according to Grants calculations) will improve our tech research by twenty something percent many turns sooner now than the Three Gorges Dam sooner in the far future.

Any idea how many turns the engineer will shave off the statue, I just redid my calculations and it appears that the statue will give us an extra 155 beakers per turn which is actually a 40 something percent increase, due to the war weariness cutting our science output, once the war weariness goes away it'll probably be closer to the 28% increase predicted previously.

WW is gone already, but will come back some time into the Roman war.

 

[grant2004]

Oops, you're right I looked at your starting save by accident rather than your end save, war weariness is gone and science production is back up over 500 beakers per turn putting a 155 beaker increase at a 26.6% increase.

We need 1500 H for Liberty. The engineer gives 500 + (number of citizens) * 20
in NotA are 15 citizens, also we get 800 H, more than a half.

 

[grant2004]

Thanks HUsch, that means it should save us 17 turns to use the engineer on the statue of liberty, by the previously reported figures that should give us an additional 2635 beakers as compared with not hurrying the statue, seems worth it in my opinion.

 

[Provolution]

please do it.

 

[Hyronymus]

please do it.

Indeed, this an oppurtunity we shouldn't let go.

 

[dutchfire]

So, what are your thoughts on a 2-turn game play session to see what we'll get?

 

[fed1943]

May be not needed, just something like:
If....then....

Best regards,

 

[grant2004]

Unlike the last time we had a GP we kinda have an idea of what will happen here, and only 3 possible things it can be, I think conditional orders should be sufficient to handle this GP.

 

[dutchfire]

So, currently it looks like the orders will be like this, right (more input appreciated )?

If we get a Great Engineer, then move him to the city where we'll build the Statue of Liberty (Riversight?), and use him to hurry production there.

If we get a Great Prophet, then move him to Equus Aurum and settle him there.

If we get a Great Scientist, move him to Xanadu and build an academy there.

 

[Hyronymus]

With settle the Great Prophet you mean?!

 

[dutchfire]

With settle the Great Prophet you mean?!

Click the Priest icon, to use him as a superspecialist giving 2 hammers, 5 gold and 3 beakers every turn (from the top of my head).

 

[Provolution]

I agree to the great person plans.

 

[fed1943]

I agree with Dutchfire,too.

Best regards,

 

[Hyronymus]

I agree too.
