If only you and me and dead people know hex, then only deaf people know hex.

I write RPG adventures, and blog about it, check it out.

I just rejoined the realms beyond discord.

Any plan you are aiming for with America? The UB is pretty flexible.

I didn't realise it was "flexible", so I was thinking Philosophical, maybe with Creative. What else could one do with it?

I was also very curious what the plan for America is. I also am on record that I believe it to be very flexible.

The opportunity cost of building the library is not that high, and it lets you do a lot of early game GP tricks.

Consider that for a lot of civs in a lot of games, the first great person you get is going to be by building a library anyway in a high food city and then running two scientists. The only other useful way to get a great person early is through passive wonder GP generation, like a stonehenge prophet or the pyramids engineer. The American library is like a wonder you can put in any city, and you get to pick the great person that comes out. Want your first person to be a merchant? Build the library, let the GP bar fill almost all the way, then make sure it has a market ready for a merchant before it pops out. Or you can slot in a temple for a guaranteed prophet, or a forge for a guaranteed medieval engineer for whatever wonder you want. You can use philosophical to get that 'free' great person out faster, or creative so that a bunch of cities can get a lower cost GP out, but neither is necessary to use the library to enable these kinds of strategies. But it does take micro and having a good sense for what GP bulbs are useful, which I am not the best at.

I'm in the mood to play PHI-CRE anyway, even though it's not at all necessary for use of the library UB.
What happens if the bar fills up with no specific GP points?

You get a random GP.
