I'd like to start debate on the science and entertainment sliders. What is the best way to use them early? Obviously, we'll know more once a save is in our hands but I'd like to get a kick start on this. I've seen a few strategies work. Perhaps you have your own to add. Remember we are on Emperor difficulty:
High Science
Research as fast as possible and not make much money. Perhaps we race to a certain key technology for a special unit or wonder.
Low Science
Research slowly or even every 40 turns using as low science as possible or even a science specialist. Extra money could be used to buy technology or upgrade units.
Entertainment
Keep those citizens working. With a military police limit of 2 early on, we can use units to keep citizens from being too unhappy but sometimes those units are needed at the front.
I like using the entertainment slider to make sure all the citizens are working if the military police is not enough. 1 or 2 gold seems very much worth the extra production and food growth.
As for science, I've seen both work. I've only tried a few games with 1.29 and I know they changed the AI science values. What do you think?
