When do you want to rush the Taj? I don't remember the formula for the GE hammers, but does Mammoth have enough pop to completely finish Taj?
I will play the turn tomorrow.
I'm not sure I know the answer to this, I was never aware that a city's population had any impact on how many hammers would be produced by a GE. I thought there was a set, finite upper limit on the number of hammers the GE would produce and I can't recall Taj not being completed by one GE. SoL is another story IIRC.
If anyone knows for certain please assist. I have a sandbox that can definitively answer but it runs on RtR 2.0.6.2 and I'm not going to ask Gawdzak to go through all that to find out for me.
As for timing, as long as dtay and OH/Fin lack Nationalism I think I'm ok. I want Lamar Valley to regrow some before the second GA. this is somewhat of a risk but I know I have a GE while only one or two other civs may even be close to Nationalism at this point so I'm willing to risk just a little. Perhaps delay as long as 2t? Check F4 techs to evaluate if you can.
Thinkng a little more, IIRC Lamar Valley gets around +14f per turn so should only need three turns max to regrow to nearly full. Any longer than this seems risking too much. If I were playing I would probably track scores to determine whether those civs i deem most likely to be in the running (Krovixe, Joey maybe, TBS, pindicator, WLP?) had a large enough score increase but that isn't practical at this point. I'm relying on the surety that I have a GE and others may not. This would be safer if I had actually searched the event log but I did not.
So how about this. Next turn, the last of my current GA, make the civic swaps as indicated to B, Caste, Theo. If dtay, OH/fin don't have nationalism, and neither should, then I'll ASSUME I'm safe even though a dark horse may overtake me. I'll chance it and blame myself if it falls through. I want max GPP out of the Taj GA to see if I can get another GA, the three man, out duringi the Taj GA. I HAVE ENOUGH GP for the three man GA now but want to bulb with the GS and maybe cash in the merchant. I should have a GA, GM, and GE right now with a 97% GS coming.
If population is determined to be a factor in getting a 1t Taj hen build it in the capital. I assume that to be tall enough if pop is a factor but I don't think it is.
Apologies for typing mistakes if any, on mobile. Thanks for checking into this for me.
Taj is 700h on Normal speed.
