I say Ise, as it is closer to Iziba. ( I believe) Correct me if Im wrong.

I support the building of Smith's in Nocsfiedra, but if it is feared that it might culture flip to the Babylonians
(what is the chances of culture fliping a city with wonder?) I suggest Civanatoria.

Let us build the Smith's Trading Company, and let us do so in Bavaria! Bavaria is in the very heart of our nation, and is the least likely to be captured because of this central location.

But, before we can build Smith a new home, we need the secret of economic. I've just finished shopping, and these are the best deals I could find.

Economics Purchases

[u]Nation		Deal[/u]
Russia		World Map + Furs + Gems	+ 260g
France		World Map + 710g/40gpt
America		World Map + Gems + 430g
Iroquois	World Map + Furs + 250g
China		World Map + Spices + 400g

I think putting the Wonder on the coast is a little risky. I do like the idea of pressuring Izibia. Even more, I like the idea of putting the Wonder in the Capital city of The North Province, Kuhkaff. It would be the ultimate tribute to the people of the Province, as it was the Province that took the brunt of the attack, and governed the city that produced the Great Leader. The city is also safeguarded by Valhalla and Bavaria and Bremershaven.

What concerns me is not placement (though I'd like to see Smith's in Octavinium, Bavaria, Padmativa, or Leningrado ).

First, I'm worried about how to get Hengest's brother Horsa to the rank of Great Leader (a quick history lesson: Hengest and Horsa were supposed brothers who lead an Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain in the 5th century AD). Second, how should we get economics?

I like the Iroquois deal.

*HINT* - If you want another Great Leader soon, recruit from the North Province again .

Actually, Chieftess has come up with a peace renegotiation deal with America that is even better. Read this post and the next few:

Less than 250g total!

Also, regarding elite units:

If I'm not mistaken, the wonder a Great Leader rushes needs to actually be built before elites have the chance to elevate another leader. Therefore, elites should be used only if necessary during the preturn(i.e. Ganges). Once Adam Smith has opened for business, we can try for the brother.

I believe you are mistaken DZ....

While I have never had more than one Great Leader in a single turn, I have recently seen evidence of a game in which the player received four Great Leaders in a single turn (ref: Charis' Tale.

Apparently, we need only get the Leader to his destination and Rush the wonder. Once that is done, we can test the RNG to our hearts' delight!

I still believe we should place this wonder so it creates more pressure on Izibia.
