But we neeed moooar land!

Quote:How about a temple for the happy?We possibly built too many banks and have too many commerce cities, not enough hammer cities. However Izzy, Nina, Quentin, Jelly Bean and Hazelnut should all be able to pump out some units fairly fast once they're fully grown. Pikes are actually the best unit we have against Cavs - they should trade at a roughly even hammer ratio - so I'll get building some of those.
Nah, techs will get very expensive in this game, so we will still need a lot of commerce. I think our balance looks fairly decent, I prefer it to BGN's more hammer-heavy economy although that isn't too bad either (especially for a non-FIN civ). And we still have a bunch of turns left where we can get stuff done with whips in several cities before going into full growth mode.
I have nothing against a couple of pikes, but in principle I prefer units that have more use when attacking (2-movers and anything with high base strength). As said, 50 cities might be enough in some scenarios when it comes to competing for space victory, but I would prefer having at least 80 by T200..

I believe you, I just did not bother checking your thread, because I thought I might not find that info there and pindicooters also created a pretty competitive economy with their FIN/ORG/mids/Nakor-land. Anyways, how do you feel about your economy in hindsight? I remember you using a lot of hammers for wealth builds, which typically isn't desirable, but I can see wealth-workshops being decent in the short-run compared to non-FIN-cottages. Obviously things worked for you, but I wonder if you would change anything (economic) if you would play your position again?
