Mistfit’s Quick Domination Attempts

[Caesar Ozo]

Hey, nice games!
I have to ask one thing.. is there some way you can calculate the appearance of a scientific great leader? It seems that even before starting the game you already knew when to get one.
I've had some SGLs with Russia and Sumeria. They are linked to the scientific trait, that's for sure. But can I prepare to get one in a specific time?

Thank you.

There is no way to be certain to get a SGL. Scientific will make the odds better. I played plenty of games that were tossed out because I did not get one. I just kept playing them until I did. There is a formula that will give you the chances of getting one but I don't have one right available

From memory there is a 1/16 chance (1/12 for scientific) of generating an SGL for each tech you research before anyone else does.

Interesting.. By the way, have you calculated that yourself? Or does anyone know where such a form could be found? Anyway, thanks a lot guys. I'll try this at home

Your memory is too optimistic.
The chances are 3% (~1/33) for normal Civs and 5% (1/20) for Scientific.

Thanks Bartleby, I guess I was thinking about something else. I probably ought to be thinking about work since that's where I am at the moment .

Me too.

Looks like MGL chances before and after HE.

Me too.

Hehee.. Guess where I am!
