Please don't flame me ;)

I know this is an old question bit I forgot. Is it possible to have more than one Great Leader at the same time? Thanks

I'm in a big war now playing the Japs (couldnt resist not using those wonderful Samurai ) and I got 1 leader but I want to keep him unless you cant get more than 1 at the same time in which case I will use the leader since Its very probably id get another one soon.

Thanks again

[trevor]

nope, only one at a time. Hope that helps.

You can get more than one leader in one turn, so long as you use the first. I have had up to 6 in a single turn. I just run the leader some place and use him. Then go on fighting till I get the next one.
If you have a discover coming and want to have leader to rush it, then you need to hold him, but you will not get a leader while that one is around.

Flame flame flame!


On a more serious note, I agree with my learned colleagues. Generally though, (especially if it's your FIRST Great Leader) you have two or three uses already "primed" for him, and getting him "out of circulation" is no problem. I tend to get stuck when I get into Vmxa's situation, though- if you've already got the Forbidden Palace somewhere, all the wonders currently around are done, you don't need another army....

What do you do? Palace relocation? Rush an expensive improvement in a weak-production city? Charge the Great Leader straight at the opposing capital?

Don't worry, here at Apolyton people aren't in the habit of making newbies look foolish.

In general the perfered way to go is to use the GL, you should be able to get another in a few turns anyway (esp if yuu have a good # of elites) The only reason I would hold onto the GL is if you are researching a tech that leads to a wonder.

Fred:

How could you NOT need another army?

I usually build the Forbidden Palace or relocate the regular Palace with my first leader, If I run out well, there's usually some big improvement in a crappy city that's just wating to be built

Hmmmm, you haven't been here long or what? A lot of peeps here are...but not me. I remember when I was a noob, I got kicked more than once for asking some question like this one.

Willem was being ironic, Spec.

Trust me, no-one will get flamed in the Strategy forum no matter how newbie his question is. Unfortunately, I have not always seen the same sense of camaraderie en the general and PTW forums.

Having initiated a flame or two (hey, they deserved it )


To prevent being flamed:

1) Dont lie, at least not in an outragous fashion

* If you claim to be able to beat diety without building a city or building all seven ancient wonders on diety expect someone to call you a cheat or liar (if you can a saved game is necessary to prove your claims)

2) No bragging or blustering

* People do not like that

3) Do not Spam or Troll

Follow these simple rules and you will rarely be flamed

No one should get flamed for asking a question, even a newbie one

[Master Zen]

Well, of course that kind of stuff deserves to be flamed but unfortunately I have seen flames from otherwise good posts.

Case in point: I think it was Fried-Psitalon's last thread was flamed by more than one person inspite of being well written and informative. Whether someone likes someone else's strategy or not or whether it is something he already knows is one thing, but sometimes comments can be rather offensive and frankly, those kind of people don't get much respect from me.
