    Great Engineers

    I don't know if this has been pointed out before, but I noticed that the production value of a great engineer when used to finish a building is 500 hammers + 20 hammers per population point.

    Once you get through the early part of the tech tree where a great engineer finishes just about everything, then sometimes it only covers part of a building. That is determined by population.

    So a size 5 city would get 600 hammers.
    A size 10 city would get 700 hammers.
    A size 15 city would get 800 hammers.
    A size 20 city would get 900 hammers.

    So they are most effective in the biggest cities? Interesting, thanks for pointing that out.

        I had noticed some variation in the number of hammers, but wasn't sure of the cause. Thanks Ozzy.

          Do free specialists count as pop. for this effect?

            Doubtful. But I didn't test it.

              Definitely a good point, I have often wondered why in some cases a Great Engineer can nearly finish a wonder and in other cases only completes it 50%. Good work!

                I think this also gets modified by the game timing (standard, epic, etc).

                My last great engineer was giving me 1500 hammers. I was playing on marathon.
