For my alt-world diamond farm that I hope to be as hands off as possible:
In which age do you think it is easiest to negotiate GE? I'm finding that it could be problematic for me to consistently get BA goods while in Iron Age. I'm able to produce 240 Iron per day with using only on production building (tailor) and retaining my 9 WWs. I'm thinking that if I move to EMA I will have more room but will require a higher population and production to maintain a similar amount of daily goods, not to mention my trader ship would still be making 20 IA goods.
Any feedback on which age is best is appreciated. And I would like to do it with out recurring quests.
Did some number crunching:
12 goods buildings in EMA would cost 340*12=4080 and would require 37 clapboard houses to support just the goods buildings.
12 goods buildings in HMA would cost 460*12=5520 and would require 36 town houses to support just the goods buildings.
EMA costs 1600 coin/supply for 24hr= 19200 income of both required daily
HMA costs 3200 coin/supply for 24hr= 38400 income of both required daily
EMA supply income would require 10 shoemakers at 100% happiness and motivated, requiring 7 more houses for a total of 44
HMA supply income would require 6 farms at 100% happiness and motivated, requiring 11 more houses for a total of 45 (120 tiles plus houses)
HMA supply income would require 19 alchemists at 100% happiness and motivated, requiring 5 more houses for a total of 41 (114 tiles)
(motivation would be a concern with so many alchemists)
EMA coin income with 44 houses*240*2(8 hour collections)=21,120 (meets requirement)
HMA cion income with 45 houses*340*2(8 hour collections)=30,600 (doesn't meet requirement)
EMA seems easier from a numbers perspective and one could score and use almost all 3x3 buildings for supply and goods. However, if you are lucky enough to score a ropery as your bonus you would save a considerable amount of space in an HMA city.
My goal would be to do this without any happiness buildings (as these can take up a ton of room and aren't really required to maintain a GE city). I have an LOA and with that am at +35% supply producton. However, my coin production is at -50%, so I'd need to figure out how to balance back out or whether happiness buildings, a hagia, or a st. marks would be the most space efficient way to maintain.
