Quiz #3: Solution
Here the solution to Quiz #3. In the end a couple of you guys even handled me changing the rules more than once 
.
Sorry for that, but since one cannot win anything here I found it more important to have the “interesting” way forced through this time even if that meant changing a thing or two I forgot in the beginning. This one was pretty complicated in terms of all the stuff one had to take into consideration and I simply didn´t get all the aspects in my mind when I designed the question. I´ll try to be more careful in the future regarding that, but then again those questions are designed to have everyone dwell into civand I hope that worked out … 
General
- Expansive leader of Japan
- City planted on plains hill with Coal
- City Size: 20
- Working 14 flat grass Iron and 6 flat plains Iron
- 1 Corn on the map
- Rest of map Iron (Overall 382 Iron, 1 Corn, 1 Coal)
- Mass Media not researched (not make Apo. Palace obsolete)
Happiness
- Globe Theatre: No
Health
Have to combat 25 
at pop 20 with Recycling Center build, 20 from population, 3 from coal and 2 from power.
- Expansive: +2
- Granary: +1 (corn)
- Resources: +1 (corn)
- Aqueduct: +2
- Hospital: +3
- Public Transportation: +3 (with Environmentalism)
- Recycling Center
- Environmentalism: +6
- Fresh Water: +2
- Difficulty: +2
- Genetics: +3
Overall: 25 / 25
Food
- Supermarket: +1
- Corporation Cereal Mills: +3 (1 corn)
- 2 from city tile + 6 from plains Iron + 28 from grass Iron
Overall: 40 / pop 20
Production
Bonus Modifiers:
- Shale Plant: +10%
- Forge: +25%
- Factory with power: +75%
- Ironworks with Coal and Iron: +100%
- Bureaucracy: +50%
Overall Bonus Modifiers: +260%
Base Production
- Corporation Mining Inc.: (382 Iron + 1 Coal) x 4 = 1532
- Industrial Park (1 free engineer): +2
- Statue of Liberty (1 free engineer): +2
- City Tiles (all railroaded): (14 Grass Iron 5)+ (6 Plains Iron 6)+ (city plant Hill Coal 3): 109
- Golden Age: +21
- Levee: +21
- Apostolic Palace + Rel. buildings: +4
Overall Base Production: 1691
Overall Production: 1691 + 260% = 6087
P.S. I have a Garden in my city in the screen, because I didn’t initially pick an Expansive leader, but didn´t want to edit the entire map again once I realized I´d be needing one 
Overall Production of 6087
Notice the key Corn
hmmm. you dont have a shrine of the AP-religion, and did not take into account settler difficulty (+2 base health), otoh, for some reason you have just 2 unhealth from power (I had 4). and I forgot the industrial park in my solution..
stable(for GA duration) 1693h/6094h are possible. (1694h/6098h for the starving solution.. as starvation takes longer than the GA, it is viable, methinks.)
I thought a cathedral gives you a hammer bonus for ap. palace too. Or did you have to research scientific methods?
it is necessary to research scientific methods for physics.
the 4 hammers of religious buildings are from temple and cathedral.
and how about the shrine? that one does give AP hammers too.
you have to research scientific methods so the shrine obsoletes.
Shrines never obsolete. The Monastery obsoletes @ SciMeth.
I think you can do even better.
Replace two of the irons (outside of the city’s 21 tiles) with wheat and rice.
This will:
- reduce the output of Mining Inc by 8 hammers but
- increase the health cap by 4 (2 from resources, 2 from the granary) and
- increase the food supply by 6 from Cereal Mills, allowing you to
- switch from Environmentalism to State Property for the added 10% hammer bonus!
Environmentalism adds 6 health, plus 2 health with Public Transportation, for a total of 8 health. Adding one wheat and rice adds 10 health+food, which means you can further convert 2 grass-iron tiles to plain-iron tiles.
Thus, my proposed total:
1691 – 8 (2 fewer iron for Mining Inc) + 2 (from plains tiles) = 1685 base hammers
1685 + 270% (including 10% from State Property) = 6234 total hammers
State Property deactivates the Corps.
I thought state property and corporations don’t work together.
