Destroying Galactic Achievements

Why not?

from GalCiv3 Forums

For those galactic achievements that simply give you a one time bonus, like a general or free planet discovery, is there any reason to keep them after you finish? I started to watch a let's play where he destroys it without apparent ill effect. Isn't this a little... odd? Some give bonuses otherwise like the Galactic Intel Agency, which I assume you would lose the  Diplomacy bonus if you destroyed, but maybe not?

 

So in short, any reason not to destroy these once done to free up land?

No, if they don't have adjacency bonuses and can be destroyed, you might as well do it.  Some of them are marked in the XML as not destroyable.  It might be fixed later, it's been suggested that they all get some adjacency bonus and be not destroyable.

Gotcha. So early implementation that wasn't finished pre-launch of crusade. Makes sense, and hoping they give a reason to keep like old ones were. Also, if they give the +1 bonus to diplomacy, safe to destroy still or need to keep for bonus?

I though in 2.13 SD gave all galactic wonder that offer no bonus a small bonus? I didn't check them in the game yet but if the wonder offer one time bonus like the one that give you class 10 planet, you can destroy the wonder after that. Some do not allow you to destroy it however.

The diplomacy bonus is useful to keep the AIs favorable to you, particularly since some of the other techniques don't work anymore (for example, trade routes now only improve relations with trader factions).  So for my own play style, I'd keep that one.  If you plan on being at war with everyone, then not so much.

Actually, that might be.  I haven't checked them all.  It does appear that Brindle's Observatory has been fixed.

I believe the wonder "Strategic Command" has no adjacency bonuses and you can't destroy it.

 

I just noticed an adjacency bonus when I placed a Military Academy next to it.  My bad. :blush:

Guessing I wont notice anything out of this new patch, but the Strategic Command doesn't say it offers adjacency, does it? Mine at least does not. Maybe its the older version since updates don't affect saved games.
