Going from 125% to 175% would need 10 EE spells. And that's assuming you can't raise it naturally.Maybe, but it generally needs some chunky culture (or hybrid) buildings. For most of the game I had very few if any of those - culture would be produced by roads, AWs, guest race buildings (none of these works with EE) - and then a bunch of tiny event buildings that would produce mana/seeds etc. I rarely see NH on 2x2 buildings (though it happens)
And going from 100% to 175% needs a lot of buffing...
EE spells don't work of course if you're under 125%.
