Wonders, civics, specialists, academies. Certain wonders give science, either for having state religion, or having religious buildings. Others give extra scientists. Some civics give more science. Specialists can give science too, esp scientists. Great Scientists can create academies in cities, and if you take a 100 sci city and turn it into a 150 sci city that right there can account for, what 3 or 4 fully mature towns?

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager. And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

I contest this one. A +X% modifier in Civ doesn't mean that your output will be X% more than it was before. Thing is, all % modifiers are applied to the base value, they don't stack multiplicatively. Or, in plain terms, all % modifiers are added together, then the final percentage is applied to the initial output value.
Which, by the way, happens to be the reason for why Free Religion is overrated. By the time you get it, you probably already have a library, a university and an academy in your top science cities for a +100% already, so switching to it only effectively increases your science output with 5% or so.

Ah yes, so if it is a 100 Sci city with a base of 50 and 50% modifier, an additional 50% from an academy still gives you 50% on that base value.

I know Zig is a propoenent of the specialized cities approach, and I do personally strive for this. It seems like a legitimate strategy, and in those instances where I've been able to achieve it more, I do seem to do well. However, it never seems to be that simple, and I always wind up mixing their purposes to a certain extent. Konrad, the difference between you and me is like the difference between a gunsmith and a gunslinger. One focuses on the trigonometry and physics of ballistics and trajectories and stuff, while the other one pulls his gun and shoots from the hip!  It never actually stuck in my long-term memory that bonuses are additive on the base value and not multiplicative on the cumulative value. But maybe that is why I'm still playing Noble games and having fun. BTW, ever finish an SP match using that Next War scenario?
