What to do with my science leader

[del62]

Here's the crux, I have a tech lead (on Monarch level) with the Koreans and while researching music theory I got a scientific leader

There are 5 wonders I could possibly build one of which I have nearly completed one

The wonders
Sun Tzus Art of War
JS Bachs
Sistine Chapel
Leonardos Workshop
and Copernicus Observatory

I am a large continent and as scientific I have not built many temples, so I have option for two of these wonders

I am thinking completing Sun Tzus (Continent is big and I have plenty of cities) and JS Bachs, various AI can build all but JS Bachs and Coepornicus

the other options are one of the other wonders listed or keep leader for Smiths Trading company,

any suggestions

Hard to tell whitou save. How far is your current build? Maybe switch that to cheap wonder and rush expensive one. If you have lot's of unit's, I might rush Leo. I find Sun Tzu overrated, as most cities won't build units anyway.

In general, I think J.S. Bach's is way better than Sistine Chapel, where you need to build a bunch of cathedrals to get any benefit out of it. The free happiness and some luxuries should allow you to turn the luxury slider way down for the rest of the game.

But it's hard to know what to tell you without at least knowing how you plan to win. If you're playing a 100K culture victory, you may plan to build all those Cathedrals, and Sistine would make perfect sense. If you're playing Always-War, having a barracks instantly in every town you build or takeover can be game-changing. If you're going for Space, it may make sense to build Coperinicus, and save the SGL to build Newton's in the same town to get what is sometimes referred to as a "Super Science City."

So the final answer is..."it depends," which, in my experience, is the answer to all the really interesting questions.

This one's easy - Sun Tzu.

Sun Tzu regains your units' health in just 1 turn, rather than 1 per turn without a barracks iirc. Gotta think of the future, building leo's workshop will save you a lot of money getting a spearman to a mech infantry.

what i did was finished sun tzu and saved the sgl for smiths, this kicked of my golden age (i built mausoleum of ... earlier which strangely helps the science civs) this means i will probably build js bachs as well

i havent decided yet which win to try for yet
