Does Kremlin assist with slavery rush?

I would think that it should, but I just want to be sure.

AFAIK, it does.

Not sure,but I don't think so.

For one thing, how does one ever KNOW how many hammers a slavery rush gives you (I use it on rare occasions)?
If you don't know, how would you know if the Kremlin affects it?

[phooey73]

I will be able to tell.

Its right around 100 hammers per population point under normal circumstances. If its your bonus building (lighthouse/courthouse for organized) its factored in and you get 200 hammers per point. I'm not certain whether foges/factories play into it.

So if Kremlin has its effect in slavery rush, I'd get 200 hammers per population point.

Takes more than 1 pop to build a settler...

It does.

Yes, it does help. I found that out last night. Before completing Kremlin it would have cost 12 pop points to complete 3 Gorges. After Kremlin, it cost only 6 pop. So it does exactly what you'd think it should. Had I known that for sure, I would have rushed the Kremlin itself. :-)

Also, I'm playing on Marathon, so my hammer values are for marathon.

And costs are always higher if you have no hammers at all committed to the item yet.
