Great Engineer (Civ5)

== Game Info ==
A Great Person, specialized in .
* Actions:
** (Great Tile improvement)
** (Adds extra to a city's current effort.)
The unit is expended after performing either of these actions.
== Strategy ==
The Great Engineer has the ability to Hurry Production, which instantly adds a vast number of points to the item at the front of a city's production queue. This is usually enough to finish all but the most massive wonders in just one turn. Note, however, that projects (such as the Manhattan Project or the Apollo Program) cannot be hurried with a Great Engineer.
Note that in order to use Hurry Production the Engineer needs to be inside a city. So, you need to move it to the precise city where you want to build whatever it is you're trying to hurry.
The Manufactory tile improvement is also a long-term benefit for a specific city's capabilities. One or two well-placed Manufactories can quickly turn cities into troop training centers or wonder production facilities.
There are many different ways to obtain "free" Great Engineers. Purchasing a Great Engineer with does not push back the spawning pool (although it increases the amount of for future Great Engineer purchases), whereas all the following do:
* Earning a free GP of your choice (with the Mayan Long Count, Liberty finisher, Leaning Tower of Pisa, etc.). Note that this also pushes back the Great Scientist and Great Merchant pools.
* Adopting Spaceflight Pioneers (in the Order tree). Pushes back the Great Engineer/Great Merchant/Great Scientist pool by 200 GPP.
== Formula ==
The amount of of a Great Engineer on Normal speed is calculated using the formulahttp://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/9775/how-high-is-the-production-bonus-of-a-great-engineer-in-civ5
 300 + (30 * city population)
So in a city with a of 1 the Engineer only generates 330 , while in a size 15 city it generates 750 .
For Quick speed, the formula is
 200 + (20 * city population)
For Epic speed it is
 450 + (45 * city population)
and for Marathon speed it is
 900 + (90 * city population)
