Golden age

[Shiber]

When should we try to get our golden age and why?

Potentially we could get a golden age during the war with France, if we send along some War Chariots and they win. However, then we'll get a golden age too early in the game and we won't get much of it... on the other hand, getting a golden age later during the game would require us to build a wonder or two (using the war chariot during the medieval age is obviously not an option).

Any ideas, thoughts or comments? I'm really interested to know what people think about the golden age.

we did a poll before the war with america, and the majority are for the mideval age.

the large majority.

Some players keep in reserve a few WC, and when they want their GA, they let them kill a unit reduced to 1 HP.

In 1.29 you can build you're UU at anytime once you have discovered the tech no matter how obselete it becomes.

I don't know how valid this point is were using 1.21.

Thanks for the link Uber.
Davout: what is WC?

[Robber Baron]

Shiber: WC+war chariot.

I suggest we build a few, once we've emerged from the war with France, and bank them somewhere to store up a GA trigger.

[edit: +, =, whatever]

I think we should build a few now, if we can. We should build several, in case one dies.

hi ,

we should try to wait a bit , ...

its to early

have a nice day

If we take the pyramids does this move us into a GA?
Im thinking that once we subdue the Pathetic Persians and control their(our) bountiful lands we pursue a possible GA to build up infrastructure after the War. Any thoughts?

[Donegeal]

I say GA after we take Persia to the Ocean and after we change to Republic. Once we take Persia, we consentrate on building and defense. The best use for a GA is building, not war.

I think its about time too as soon as we aren't in any real wars (america doesnt count if we decide to finish them post-persia)

This has been said for just about every war we've been in. If we finish off the persians there will be another war after that and another just after that. We should concentrate on building and defence now.

We should seriously consider a GA soon or now. We need an infrastructure boost and we need to sort out or FP/palace situation which a GA would speed. Also sisitines is close which is very important a GA could get us there.

Actually it is an option which is the readon the WC went to Uber. We plan on mothballing several WCs at Uber and when we want our GA we bring them out and attack either a weakened enemy or one of the enemy's absolete units.

Personally I think we should wait until we've settled Persia and have libraries and marketplaces in most of our cities to magnify the GA effects.

Or perhaps not wait so long.
Maybe if we get the GA when we are building libraries and such we could complete them in less time (less corruption and waste). This way we would still get the benefits of them in our GA. If they get completed during our GA, that is...

Always maximize production!

hi ,

we are to small to have the GA now , we should try to get our cities bigger , and then we should go for it , ...

have a nice day
