Domestic Ministries Plan for building the Iron Works Small Wonder at Heliopolis:
Heliopolis is currently building a Cathedral, to achieve WLAD {We Love Aggie Day}. It will not be until 1140AB when we can release PW from building the Nationwide Railroad Connection Network. I don’t currently have plans to Rush anything this Gameplay because of the possibility of having a negative Income for the first few turns to try to get Industrialization in 6 turns time, we can wait to rush the Cathedral until after we are able to re-tweak the science slider back to a positive income balance. This will also have the added benifit of using the increased Production from the New Railroads in Heliopolis to reduce the cost of rushing the Cathedral.
The pre-build plans for the Construction of the Iron Works after the Cathedral is built is recommended to be the following:
1) Aquaduct - to allow the city to grow beyond size 6
2) Marketplace - to keep WLAD for city growth up to Size 12
3) Iron Works
During the Pre-build time, PW’s will work on getting the Food and Shield output for the city up to specifications as a high priority. This will allow for rapid Growth and as high of a shield output after Production Waste as possible.
I plan to have the Pre-builds rushed at about 1/3rd to 2/3rds through production of their builds, to quicken the process. This was a successful strategy while building the FP at Contaginon, it should also work for this build. This keeps from using too much limited funds for the Pre-build Rushs and having funds for other things, like Mil Unit Upgrades, etc.
We might also want to explore having a Factory (50% more sheilds) and/or a Police Station (for decreased Waste) before we start on the Iron Works, but I believe that we won’t need it.
Unless the Senate has any specific Input or extreme changes to this plan, this is what the Domestic Ministries will set as it’s overall plan.

The answer my friends lies in the numbers.
Factory 240 shields (50% shield bonus)
Iron Works 300 shields (100% shield bonus)
Which ever is first requires full allotment of base shields
The second build still requires full shield count but reduced base shields.
Factory first: 240 + 300*2/3 = 440 base shields
Iron Works first 300 + 240/2 = 420 base shields
So IW first makes more efficient use of base shields.

We should rush build there after 1 turn. Why should we have half of a good thing?With all the multipliers from the Iron Works, we hould make this a priority, and have workers on hand to mine, irrrigate, and populate ASAP, then we can produce more military at Heliopolis and then upgrade our units, too.

Heliopolis is currently at about 66% waste. As Prez Aggie (and the rest of the government) feels that we need to get Industrialization before Germany, he will be setting the Slider to 80%. THis will give us Ind in 6 turns, but with a negative 34 LPT. This will be MOSTLY offset by selling Coal and Mapwhoring. Also, we will have 3 Universities & 1 Library come online before this is completed, so we can tweek the slider down in a few turns. We will also have one more Bank coming online shortly, which will allow us to start construction of Wall Street.
In light of all of that, I won't be rushing ANYTHING until we get back to a positive income balance, then the Cathedral at Heliopolis will be TOP Priority for the first rush.
We will have the Nation connected via RR on Turn 3 (1140AB) and PW is already set to work on the tiles around Heliopolis, after that is done. Hopefully, the timing for the PW Improvements & that Cathedral rush will coincide at about the same time. For further details, look at my PW orders in the orders thread.
