Runoff Poll for GL

[adaMada]

Ok, I'm starting to lean towards Sun Tzus, especially since I want a wonder really badly . We'd have to actually defend the city with Sun Tzus in it well (at least three pikemen/defensive units at all times), since I don't know if the AI strikes for wonder cities and it'd be a real shame to loose it because we were stupid. I still want Leos, but no one's going to agree with me on the waiting issue, so I think this is the best second choice.

Go with Sun Tsu.

The odds are not cumulative, nor additive. So, you would just have 2 chances instead of 1 at either 1/16 or 1/32 since each chance is independent of the other.

You don't have to waste a separate GL to build the HE. You can build it naturally; also, the shields could be switched to another Wonder if the opportunity arose before it was built. Conversely, the shields could be switched to it if we lost a Wonder race.

The attacking every 4th turn you mention would only apply if we had units that had been heavily damaged. The same results could be achieved by rush building, or building, Barracks the old fashioned way. It is not the game ender not to get the Art of War. How many Veteran and Elite units do we already have? We have a number of Barracks already.

We don't have to build Barracks in every city. Also, it is continental only, so it wouldn't affect the island unless we built it there. Then, it wouldn't affect the continent.

The FP would be a better use if you were going to rush something, unless we get Sistine Chapel ability immediately.

We need a wonder.

Two thumbs up for Ghengis. I must say you've done a terrific job in explaining to everyone why building Sun Tzu's is SO MUCH better than building an army.

[Jonny]

Build Sun Tzu's.

Ghengis . That is the best analysis so far. One thing to say though, it only produces barrack on its continent I thought. Still I always see it and leonardo as great wonders(not a good leonardo was in civ2, but still cool).

Crud, forgot about that . In my BIC I reedited all wonders to affect all cities, no continent specific wonders except the Hoover Dam. Course I also edited Swordsmen to upgrade to Riflemen............

Still there's an even greater savings as we've got 6 cities on the main continent with barracks now which is an immediate 6 gpt savings, plus 9 cities and several more on the way which is 180+ shield savings and another 9+ gpt savings.

ANY WONDER THAT GIVES YOU A FREE IMPROVEMENT IN YOUR CITIES IS A GOOD THING TO HAVE.

Sun Tzu, the Pyramids, the Hoover Dam. We just might get two of those and who knows about the third one.

[Aggie]

It does give you a large advantage when you have granaries and barracks in each city, and with spices and incense we are able to grow pretty far, before problems occur.
Aggie

[adaMada]

Yea, Sun Tzu combined with the Pyramids will be very nice for city development... Ok, I'm decided. My vote goes to Sun Tzu.

Sun Tzu

what did we rename our victorious unit btw? we should call Sun Tzu

[adaMada]

Good point... or rename it MWIA's Battalion, or Aggie's Command, or Ramses Brigade, or something appropriate. I hope we can still figure out which it is, though... :-\

If we decide to build the Art of war, where to build it.
I recall somebody suggesting in uber, and i think this would be an appropriate way to honor our previous SMC. Also uber is very defensable and could have it turn after next.

[GhengisFarbâ„¢]

I just opened the save and I don't see a GL anywhere. Where is he?

[Aggie]

He's on the road between uber and geo. Are you using save 170ADend. Scared me for a second there.
Aggie

[Aro]

Here he is...
