    I got 2 SGL and 1 MGL in my most recent epic game.

    The 2 SGLs were both well after I had a clear tech lead. The first even had to wait fortified in my capital for me to reserach the first modern era tech so I'd have a wonder to use him with. (I chose SETI.) The other one I got with Fission and chose the UN.

    The MGL was towards the very end of the war over Uranium and I just built an army with it and I used it to lead off an attack on one of the remaining cities.

      I do wish it wasn't quite so sporadic. They can be a real momentum shifter do to their immense rarity sometimes.

        I've got 14 MGL's in my current game.

        And 1 SGL.

            I've had two of the buggers in a game before, but if you have a consistent tech lead you are probably going to get one sooner or later throughout the course of a game...

                yeah - 8 civs on a huge map. I've been almost continuously at war the whole game. There are 11 turns left and I have about another 30 or 40 cities to take out for a clean sweep.

                I got a bunch of MGL's immediately after capturing Sun Tsu. I got a big tech lead.

                  I've been unlucky with SGL. The people here who have been stealing mine have been noted.

                    do you think it's better to get a GA in early game or later?

                      Later as a rule, but it is hard to pull with some of the civs.
                      You get nailed by the early UU or a wonder trigger many times.

                        I try to get mine once I hit republic (or monarchy), but I'm not too pissed if I trigger it ancient via unit. In my current game I triggered it early industrial to build factories and wonders much faster. Good time, as stuff gets very expensive. Its good to time it so you're either building a lot of buildings or they are already in place to increase tax/sci revenue. But like I said, I don't really care anymore when it is, its entirely map dependent for me. If I'm on an island and have an ancient uu, i will probably hold it til middle ages. If I need the extra unit power, then I trigger it early and conquer as much as possible.

                          Best result to date:

                          Research Philosophy - get SGL

                          Free Tech Republic - second SGL

                          That was a fun turn

                              As I rub my eyes. I only once got more than one in a game.

                                How's that possible? You get the free tech before you can move your science leader and use him? Or are you allowed to have more than one?
