What should we do with our Great Leader?

Nice analysis, Donsig. These numbers make Justinian even more attractive to me.

I'd take Macao as my second choice. A rank further back from Justinian but still a prime CAP city. Rush the lowest cost improvement and then next turn build Bach's.

I would go for Bachs. I'm not sure where though. The Greeks culture is on the rise as is the Iroquois. I would lean toward rushing Bachs close to Greece and garrison the city well.
As far as the FP in Thebes, we will build it and in grabbing Bachs the other AIs will have to either go for something else or waste shields.
We will be in a position to build Adam's Co. in a little while....

You didn't mention the knight? in PDX.

I'm fine with Bach's or rushing the FP. Another possibility is rushing Smiths', but I gather that would have been mentioned if it were to be seriously considered.

I believe Bach's should be constructed somewhere in the province of Asphinxia to put pressure on borders around the next centre of our empire. Perhaps Memphis, El-Amarna, Callisto, or Elephantine. I think our cultural assault will be most valuable around the area of our FP, so that towns that convert to our empire will be most productive.

If it were to be placed in a frontier town, a considerable garrison would need to be placed there.

Really, I think any location, we could defend from the Aztecs with, however potential future hostiles is another more questionable.

We've got 2 extra mustkets in the interior, FORITIFIED, they need to be sent to the front regardless. 1 (of two) in Eyr and 1 (with a Pike) in Khatovar. These can reinforce the Bach's location.

It would take the leader an extra turn to reach PDX so I didn't include it. There is also talk of using PDX to pre-build a different wonder.

I think we should build the FP normally since it would take a few turns for the leader to reach Thebes and we would be wasting 50 shields already accumulated there. The FP will also complete in only 20+ turns if we build it normally. I don't see why a WLTKD is needed now in Thebes since it will give more good shields if WLTKD is not forced upon it.

We should build Bach because our cities could get BIG in the future if we take a peaceful approach. We should actually rush it in the crappiest, most corrupt city without any accumulated shields because its location does not matter (on the continent) and productive cities can build other stuff normally.

Chieftess:it will lessen the amount of luxeries for things like WLTKD.

I just learnt in the last chat that luxuries only make content pple happy, but not unhappy ones content, which would explain why I sometimes get more unhappy pple than I expect. So luxuries are doing a different thing from Bach.

The domestic department is sponsoring a poll to decide where to rush JS Bach's cathedral.
