So, I've noticed that I get different numbers of hammers from Great Engineers when I use the GE to rush wonder building. What I haven't been able to do is figure out how to predict the number of hammers I will get from a GE.
I expect that the number of hammers depends on
a) game speed
b) difficulty setting and
c) year or era (probably era)
Anyone have any insight into how to figure out how many hammers a Great Engineer will give you? In particular, does the number of hammers a Great Engineer give you depend on the time he was produced or does the number of hammers depend on the time he was sacrificed?
Also, I've noticed that the GE sacrifice will not be multiplied by any factors. The GE gives the same number of hammers whether you have stone for Pyramids or no stone. He gives the same number of hammers to a Capitol with a forge, factory, Bureaucracy and Organized Religion as he does to a desolate border town with no buildings.
Because of that, I tend to use any available GE's to rush universal wonders in border towns where I need the culture instead of rushing city-enhancing wonders in my big cities since the big cities can probably produce a wonder on their own. (Obviously, I'll rush a wonder that I really need if I happen to give birth to a GE when that wonder is available.)
