Is it better to wait until maximum hammer overflow has been reached before whipping out a granary, or is it best to whip the granary as soon as one can?
I think it's good to stop to think what exactly overflow is.Is it better to wait until maximum hammer overflow has been reached before whipping out a granary, or is it best to whip the granary as soon as one can?
A granary storesSo since the granary stores 50% of it's food, it's optimal to whip so that the total food is at 50% before it's whipped, so that 50% of that food "overflows" next turn?
I never realized how complicated the issue really is
I usually try to whip it 1 turn before it grows, that's a miscalculation then I take it ?
Yep, that's the worst time to finish the granary. Whip and turn on avoid growth for 1T is a huge improvement over that, winning sometimes +10I usually try to whip it 1 turn before it grows, that's a miscalculation then I take it ?
One area of exploration that is available is how to root out how the inner storage is affected by starvation, what happends if a city starves down?
In other words, the granary starts collecting food when it has been built (makes sense!For that one moment in time where a granary gets completed, an optimal result can be achieved by gathering at least 50% of the(11 at size 1 again, 12 for size 2 etc.) after you are asked "what would you like to build next"?
To nitpick - it doesn't need to be at 11/22 to be optimal. You need to be able to put at least 11and the food bar shows 11/22 the turn after (so when the granary shows up in the list of buildings in the city), you have done things right.
