OK so I decided that instead of donating 900 goods from my current age (Progressive) to finish the questline that I would trade the required 1080 current era goods to take over a PME province and gain an expansion as a result. That'll make just the right amount of space for the Pavilion reward and hopefully I'll pick up some decent rewards along the way thanks to my Chateau. Then it'll be full steam ahead to get the goods for my Dynamic Tower.Gandhi Questline up on the wiki. It looks like I'll be donating a shipload of goods again. I'm now tossing up whether to put off me trying to get goods for my Dynamic Tower for another week or so, or not finish the Gandhi questline. The 10% supply boost & extra happiness from the final reward would be nice (as well as the rewards along the way) but having Dynamic Tower would be good too. I know a 10% boost is only one level on RAH or Lighthouse but I'm going to need all the supplies I can get going into Modern by the looks of it.
There ya go, now you're thinking with your grey matter. Your Arc more than covers your goods cost for GE by itself, so the 'for the greater good of the guild' reasoning of taking the alternative doesn't really apply, as your Arc is more than covering what the guild needs for you being in it, and probably one other person at its low level.OK so I decided that instead of donating 900 goods from my current age (Progressive) to finish the questline that I would trade the required 1080 current era goods to take over a PME province and gain an expansion as a result.

I've built my rain forest project on Jaims, as you may have noticed. It cost me 150 FP, rather than 500+, all thanks to Dynamic Tower. It took that long to assemble the blueprints without diverting FP to someone else's rain forest, that I nearly got the entire 1875 goods before my patience ran out.The Dynamic Tower isn't really doing for me what I hoped it might - negate the need to trade FP for goods - but is a nice supplies producer anyway.
Well, part of that is I was aiming for oceanic future and arctic future, where those people are actually capable of producing pretty much everything themselves, it's not like the lower ages where you only get 2, they have the boosts to produce at least 3, maybe 4, perhaps even all 5 at full capacity, so it makes trading for goods a bit problematic.That will give me 6 out of 12 provinces in PME once I get this next one. Dynamic will help me get the PME & ME goods I need to get the other provinces without as much pain. Or I could go after higher goods and trade them down, but I remember August saying he had trouble doing that with small quantities.
Indeed, I can see that in time it will add up. I guess I was talking too short-term, given that I have had Arc blueprints for some time and just needed the goods to build them (on both Arvahall and Jaims .. I think I have them on beta, too, but not looking to build it there just yet).I've built my rain forest project on Jaims, as you may have noticed.

See that's what happened to me too, but I got a bad case of impatience and said screw it, I'm not waiting 2 months, I'll eat the 565 FP and 940 progressive era goods to buy the Arc set.Indeed, I can see that in time it will add up.
