great works handling

[ilteroi]

quick poll.

does anybody ever move around or swap great works manually? or does everybody simply click the swap&optimize button from time to time?

Swap and Optimize, until it stops being optimal, like not theming the Hermitage.

 

[Captain Carrot]

Is this supposed to be in the Congress subforum?

Anyway, sometimes I want a particular city to have faster border growth, so I move some non-capital GWs there.

Always swap and optimize from time to time. Only time I'd consider finally delving in this micro is that one altered France UA where theming bonuses counted a lot more.

 

[Recursive]

Swap & Optimize if I remember, otherwise ignore entirely.

 

[saamohod]

99% of time auto-sorting, 1% manually.

 

[Delvemor]

I sort the cities by number of great works to see all of them without having to scroll, and swap manually. I always liked the process but I'm probably in the minority.

 

[zeofig]

Doing it manually has crossed my mind but I've never actually done it

 

[azum4roll]

Doing it manually once is ok. Doing it every time you gain a great work is not. Which is why I've been asking for a lock GW function.

 

[pineappledan]

Swap and optimize unless I just built a big theme wonder like Louvre.

Azum suggested we should have a lock theme button, so the swap/optimize won’t tough those GW we have slotted into slots we don’t want touched and I like that.

…Shouldn’t this “quick poll” have a poll?

I quite often do it manually actually, although I like micro-managing things. Yields on Great Works can help with local unhappiness for example.

 

[gwennog]

Generally swap and optimize but often also manual management to favor certain cities (but I play with mods like MWfVP which give bonuses to GW)

 

[Anarcomu]

Swap and optimize.

 

[Stalker0]

swap and optimize, all day every day

 

[Anarcomu]

In some games I forget to use it (Shaka games, for example).

 

[stii]

I do it manually when the button fails to do it correctly. Which is a reasonable amount of the time.

 

[Rekk]

Always manual.

 

[BornDownUnder]

I view Great Works as being the same as City Specialists, so always manual.

Doesn't help that I am OCD as well...

 

[alchx]

Manually. Usually themed culture bonuses go to coastal cities to increase their border growth rate. in which the fleet can be treated. Also, guilds are usually in coastal cities.

 

[AndreyK]

always manually I play with MWfVP, and I think that even without it swap&optimize doesn't work correctly. I get better yields, also I trade with AI.
