Great Scientist poll

[BuckyRea]

How do you use those great scientific leaders when you get them?

 

[Aabraxan]

Always to finish a wonder or improvement. The Scientific Golden Age doesn't work.

This Though I suppose "usually" is technically correct, since I might rush a spaceship part in just the right circumstance.

 

[Aabraxan]

Yeah, I guess you're right. I guess I tend to think of spaceship parts as small wonders, because they follow those rules. Well, that and I can't ever remember getting an SGL while building the SS.

 

[Verarde]

I said usually to complete an improvement or wonder. There are a few instances where I'm not building any wonders, so I boost up my science for a while.

You know this doesn't work, right?

 

[Spoonwood]

The Scientific Golden Age LOOKS like it works, but if you actually check how many turns it takes, you'll find that the number of projected turns in the F1 screen does NOT match the number of turns it takes to learn a tech... i.e. it does NOT work.

 

[Verarde]

Never mind then. Note to self: Self, use SGLs for improvement/wonders; preferably wonders.

 

[Verarde]

Hah, the irony. I just got a SGL in the game I'm playing right now, and probably would have used him for scientific output if not for this thread. Now I will lie in wait for a worthy Wonder to build.

 

[TheOverseer714]

The poll you might want to do next is which wonder to use that SGL on. There was one sometime back that I voted in and probably several others losr n the bowels of this site.

One thing to note. If you have any elite combats, while you hold an SGL or an MGL you cannot get an MGL. If you are not at war, then hold as long as you like, because you can get another SGL with either in your possesion.

 

[GeneralMeng]

so if i have a MGL, i can still get a SGL from teching, but if i already have a SGL i can not get an MGL from fight, but i still can get more SGL from teching?

 

[Aabraxan]

Correct, GeneralMeng.

Does anyone know why the scientific golden age doesn't work? And if it is possible to fix?

It's simply a bug. I don't think that there will be further patches for C3C.

 

[Aabraxan]

Also, I would suspect that if a fix were going to happen, those bright people down in Creation & Customization would have found it by now.

Or they don't care b/c rushing great wonders is so spectacularly useful in most games.

The guys into Creation and Customization would dearly love to fix that bug if they could, but it is located in the source code, which is not available to them, at least without illegally hacking into it. There are a lot of things in the source code that the modding community would love to be able to access.
