We need to start coming up with a goal after Chivarly, my preference is economics, mainly for the banks and Smiths Trading Center, both of which can help our economy and science production.

this is a good path but not when at war. i will post a discussion about which of the major 2 branches we should go on (theology, invention)

Moving towards invention/gunpowder will not help us any. Researching and acquiring gunpowder and musketeers will only make it harder for our samurai to capture cities, and will only make it sooner that there obsolete.

We must make the longest age of samarai possible.

Actually no. The AI researching it would make our Samurai obsolete faster. Us researching would just strengthen our defensive capabilities.

First Post Picture updated!!! :D
Heres the discussion on the which way we should head:

First get Democracy, and then fast route to Chivalry. Democracy 'rocks' in research :king:
We should make 1st trade priority Invention (so we can build Leonardo's) and because we're not going to research it ourselves.

Except it's war's worst nightmares.

You do know how wrong your thinking is? Each time a technology is researched, the total time of researching it drops for everyone else. So essentially, researching it ourselves would only make it easier and faster for the AI.

My thinking is far from being regarded as wrong. If we DON'T research and everyone else does, where does that leave us?

I'm not saying not to research, so don't even think about twisting my words around. I want to research up the theology path, towards economics/democracy.

ya know what, this would be a great arguement for the thread i created about this...

Samurai to Rockets... Bold. :)

Anyway, we now have Chivalry. What should we research next? We also have a potential contact next turn (provided our galley doesn't sink). That means contact trade possibilities, and possibly tech trades. It's possible that we could have a quick-turnchat to see if we can get contact. This means that we need at least 1 turn of research.

I suggest going up the Cavalry path.

oops i got lost in the dreaded you know what..... :(
I guess we have already had a bit of discussion on what to get next, ill just post the poll
Thanks for the reminder

Edit: Here is the poll:

As the Republic hasn't even been mentioned in this thread, I was wondering why we are now researching it? How many flasks did we spend on it when it was selected? Can we get this ironed out?

We have waisted no beakers. This was just put on as we just discovered Chivalry. It will be changed to whatever we have decided.

So you're sure maintenance for a turn wasn't used when the President opted for the Republic? I'm going to have to double check on that. :)

I just double checked it, and no research has been put into The Republic.

It does seem like that you have you have a vendetta against the President with that statement. I was at the TC and we finished the chat after we had discovered Chivalry the chat was ended, as per this ministiries instructions, which I am not too happy about that. We could have already decided what to discover and we could have found out what the Germans have to offer and this could be our major discussion, rather than wasteing one turn.

You're just angling for another reason to PI me, aren't you? Personally, I'm getting tired of your conspiracy theories.

That will be enough. Eyrei.

May I suggest another poll on what to research next? Due to our Golden Age, we'll research Engineering next turnchat (3 turns if the science slider is increased even more).

strider could you please post a poll tonight(TC isnt over yet and I have to go) on which tech we want to get next(not research), and leave it open for 2 days, thanks

We got Banking, BTW.

Poll posted here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=101943) as requested.

Once again, we're about to research Astronomy (in 3 turns!). We need another discussion and poll on what to research. I suggest having a long term plan this time...

im trying to do a long term order, but i dont want any polls to be less than 2 days long

I suggest we go for Military Tradition. Cavalry would sure be nice to attack those musketmen.

I want Democracy !!

I have no access to the save, so if we already have democracy, disregards this message

I'll be gone Friday, Saturday, and most of Sunday this week. (22-24)
