What to do with our Great Leader?

[nbarclay]

Just to be clear, the only potential for leader generation that we could possibly lose waiting for next turn would be the possibility of a leader on defense. And that would require a pike to be promoted to elite and generate a leader the same turn. If use a leader to rush at the beginning of next turn, we can get another leader later in the turn; I've generated several leaders in a single turn on occasion.

I wouldn;t worry about OG... use the GL NOW!!

Try it with the rush production button. Maybe with the leader in the city???

Theseus, why such a big hurry?

[DeepO]

cross-posts all over the place, if we keep doing it like this, us alone is bringing down 'poly today

Okay, so there is no option to get the rush before the ned of next turn, meaning Sun Tsu in 3 turns... too late for me, even if hiding it would be good. But, we lost on the Pyramids once already, I don't want to lose this wonder to due to some miracle reason. Don't forget that Feudalism probably isn't exclusive to us and GoW next turn, so any other civ could switch a palace prebuild (if they are over 10 cities, which Lego most likely will be about now)

My vote goes to rushing it in OG or Bolderberg asap, instead of risking anything.

We would use the leader at the very beginning of next turn. Sun Tsu's would only be delayed by one turn.

GoW is still showing as building the Great Library - the only wonder shown as being built, and I can't see anyone's having a 600-shield palace yet - so a leader would be the only way anyone could possibly beat us to Sun Tsu's.

[Aeson]

Definitely switch Cyclone to a 1 turn Worker to use up it's 10 shields on something before rushing the wonder.

I tried rushing with the button NYE... just didn't mention it because I felt a little foolish/desperate by trying.

What about palace pre-builds?

[DeepO]

Okay, if we want to delay it, that's fine.

So, can we sell barracks somewhere, to get the extra 2 gold?

Sun tSu is 600 shields, no-one can do that in the next few turns.
Even our palace is still 400 shields and the only ones building a wonder, still is GoW.

[DeepO]

Theseus, you quote the answer

Lego could do it, but it is a very remote chance, I agree.

[DeepO]

I made a mistake in thinking we had a 600 shield palace possible, but of course, it was only a 400 shield one. And most likely, we still have the most cities in the world...

The only ones snatching it realistically (even very remote) is Vox, but hey, that nets us another wonder

[nbarclay]

Vox can't generate a leader in the next turn unless we promote one of their units to elite and leave it alive. If that happens, we go ahead and rush this turn just to be paranoid.
