  • Solver, or any other who has played the game, what would you say is the weakest part of the game. The part that you were less than satisfied with? I understand that this is mostly subjective but I am curious.


    Espionage, I would say - it's not horribly useless, but I just feel it's underwhelming and not really excited.

    I am an optimist, though, and view it as something to improve in the expansion .

    You are talking about settled Great People, right?

    Does these Super specialists give any bonuses to Great People production and other? If yes then please specify.


    Settled GPs, yes. And they don't generate any GP points.

              Thanks for the quick reply.

              What do the generate then? Is it so that Super scientists only generate breakers? Is there a general scheme to this?

                There are 8 traits, which make up for 8 x 7 / 2 = 28 combinations. According to my records we have 26 leaders (18 civs + 8 extra), which makes even two unused combinations (assuming no duplicates, which I didn't check). As for why, well, I really don't know a reason other than that you can't make 26 people eat 28 apples so that everyone eats exactly one. And I like apples much more than cookies anyway.

                    • Ralph - yep, but there's a good reason why one of the two missing combinations is exactly that, and not any other.

                          What exactly would you like to hear ?

                          When I did some thinking this afternoon, about which civ to try first, I looked at the different traits, and I decided to go with industrious and philosophical. Guess I won't after all....

                          Maybe it just doesn't sound powerfull, but perhaps it is indeed ?

                          • Yeah, that's it - the combination would be very overpowered. You get wonders easier than anyone else, and generate GPs faster. WIth cheap wonders giving you those GP points, you could get GPs too well even without running pacifism.

                            • That puzzle went pretty quick...
                              You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.

                                My thoughts exactly, but I am praying for a better reason. Something like if you add another leader the game will run much slower.
