Great person improvements; opportunity cost too high

[MrMT]

I feel that the special buildings created by Great Scientists are too costly in terms of what you lose - ie whoop, you get 5 science for an academy, but that might cost you a bunch of gold/food etc.

I find myself almost never using those features as a result. I would use them. however, if they stacked with whatever else was on the tile. I think it would make more sense this way.

Currently, I cannot see any real reason to focus on great people.

I'm kind of peeved that great builders cannot be used to complete special items such at the Apollo Program. But yes, sometimes the academy bonus seems a little lacking.
