  • Can MGL's rush a Palace?

    I'm considering moving my Palace in my current game. Can anyone tell me if a Military Great Leader can rush a Palace? Seems like they should be able to since a Palace is considered an improvement not a wonder. But I just want to make sure because if not then I need to change my strategy. Also, what is the correct cost of a Palace? The value in the Civolopedia does not seem right.
    Firaxis - please make an updated version of Colonization! That game was the best, even if it was a little un-PC.

    Yes. Small wonders (Palace, FP, Heroic Epic, etc) can be rushed by MGLs.

    The Palace's cost depends on the size of your empire. I believe it tops out at 1000 shields.

      Are you sure? I don't think a Palace can be rushed by a MGL.

        Yes, it can. I'm sure.

        [disclaimer]unless this was changed in a recent patch and I didn't notice the change in the readme, which is highly unlikely[/disclaimer]

          Wow - I can think of a few times when I wished I'd known that.

            I have rushed palace with a MGL in both 1.15b and 1.22f.

              I'm very certain that a palace can be rushed in 1.22 with a MGL
              (applies equally to minor wonders such as heroic epic, forbidden palace, etc)

                If the palace hasn't reached the 1000 shield maximum you should wait until you have taken any other cities that turn before you rush it. If the palace cost increases after rushing, you cannot attempt to rush the balance, even with a MGL.

                  Not sure if I got that one. Are you saying that if I rush the palace with a MGL, and conquer(or build) additional cities the same turn, the palace cost will rise so I still have fill the rest manually?

                    What I haven't seen mentioned is that the Palace isn't a small wonder, but an improvement. It could be MGL-rushed either way, but I wanted to make sure that was straight.

                      Yup, rushing causes you to have current number of shields needed to complete it.
