Liberty Tree-Great Engineer?

[Martin Alvito]

As for merchants, I do think it's possible to be a solid choice, although unlikely to be the "best". If you really want culture fast and stonehenge is already built, an engineer is not going to get that done.

The Oracle is still going to provide pretty solid return on investment there. If they're both gone, then there might be an argument for a GM. I didn't consider the possibility because I figure if you're going for you're burning a GE from Meritocracy on one or the other.

However, I suppose that on Deity you could find yourself needing Patronage, Rationalism or Freedom policies in a hurry, short on the with which to get them, and not having an early Wonder available. In that situation, the GM might be viable.
