You already won by culture. You should win by AP vote and become the alt-victory king. lol

Further proof people should not trust my whims of fancy.
speaking of which, forget Metal Casting or Machinery. Bulb Feudalism with the GE. Be different smile

Now I'm going to check if that's a plausible idea or just nonsense

Edit: Well, if you would have left BW alone a little longer it would be possible. MC or Machinery are tour only realistic bulbs. Settling with Rep would be strong too

Um I'm not quite sure what joke you're going for here. I actually would consider building the Colossus if the game would let me- I'd build it in every single city for the fail gold. Not having any coastal cities just really limits the options for early wonders, and makes the pyramids way better than it should be.

Well the way I'm figuring it (from the first page of this thread) a settled specialist with Rep would be worth something like 400 beakers total. it's not bad, but not enough to make it worthwhile for me to rush the HG and then not build any other wonders in the capital just to get a GE. Much easier to skip it and try to catch up on other stuff, like a granary.

Of course this all depends on whether Scooter will build the pyramids this turn...

Ah, I see. Well maybe I'll hook it up before building the SoL!
