[Spoilers] Alhazard ruins a Renaissance fair

[DTG]

Mechanical question for the lurkers. Does this setup still guarantee a 100% GP?

No, although the GPP overflow (i.e. 15GPP in this picture) will be "blank", and divided up as a percentage among whatever other specialists you subsequently run until the city generates its next Great person... e.g. you could have 24GE points on the turn following the pic.

[Alhazard]

thanks for confirming our fears DTG. Sad times. So there is a 3% we get the GE and ruin our plans. Lets hope for no GS until T209. We might be ok with a T208 GS.

[The Black Sword]

You've noticed that the banana is no longer on hill in the real game btw? (You have it hilled in your sim there).

[Alhazard]

No i did not! Was this intentional?

[Alhazard]

Pretty good since in certain turns (T201-202 for sure) I can work horse in cap instead of a lame 2/1/0 and still meet the growth quotas I set.

[Alhazard]

The extra food is also enough to ensure that we can get lib by EOT216 without having to roll a die to avoid the GE!

[Alhazard]

Took a look into the game to make sure the tech costs are correct but realized that PP only requires 1601b so we only need to put 83b into this tech .

But here is something I dont get. Sometimes the GS give 1518b but in a new test game, it only gives 1506b. Anyone have any answers? Might as well put 300b into edu and 100b into PP just to not mess this up.

The formula for a great scientist bulb is 1500 beakers + 3 beakers per total pop of the empire. Any none great scientist GP bulbs for 1000 beakers + 2 beakers per total point of the empire.

[Alhazard]

oh thank you that should allow us manage these much better then. Maybe 260b and 60b then? We really could use all the gold for the big communism push.

Next turn, 2 improved food, 3f, 2/1/0, and 2/0/1 to exactly fill the food box. There is 10 overflow hammers that gets divided by 1.25 to 8 but 8*1.25=10 so we don’t lose any hammers.

2nd city start on worker with chop overflow *tentative*

2 Workers E of 2nd city can start roading to city 4 site and start improving those tiles

Other worker’s actions are to be determined
If there is a worker on jungled fur, maybe build camp first and start roading this turn so that this worker can help clear the jungle. Start by going to roaded plains tile SW of 2nd city and put 1 turn into cottage? Watermill?

T214
Get GS from cap. Library done in cap. Immediately bulb education and put 100% into liberalism

Research build in all cities.
Cap can go back to working max food but work horse and jungled fur with 5th and 6th citizen. Do not work whale.

Capital at 7 starts on settler. Whips on T221. 5th city settled on T223. Grows while building a bank.
1 whip the worker at 2nd city. overflow to LB. Build missionary. then 2T LB and growth to 7 working horse with 6th citizen. 7->4 whip settler after chopping forest E, SE on T227
3rd city grow to 5. Camp ivory and mine both hills. put fh into settler for 4 turns with 3 chops and 5->3 whip settler on T227
4th city. 2 whip worker ASAP from 4->2.
5th city who knows.
