Science Department- Queue Proposals

Strider · Sep 5, 2002

This is the thread where you can post your self-made queue or ask for changes in the current one.

Current Queue:
1. ceremonial burial
2. iron working
3. mysticism
4. polytheism
5. monarchy
6. alphabet
7. writing
8. the wheel
9. literature
10. pottery
11. map making
12. horseback riding
13. masonry
14. philosophy
15. code of laws
16. republic
17. math
18. construction
19. currency

My proposed changes:

1: Monarchy that early? I personal use The Republic even during war.

2: I think we need to get literature sooner.... NOT for the Great Library, but for the regular libraries. I think that this game will include wars upon wars and I do think that we need the war techs, but we need to get them first and increasing are technological research sooner will give us a good lead against the AI's.(also for those periods when we have to drop research down to 0% or 10%)

3: We need horseback riding before map making. Those horse's make nice explorers and can be used for battle.

I have some more, but here is some for right now.

I think we need iron working first!

On another note: Bold and italic tags are missing their ends in your sig, Strider.

I'd put ceremonial burial off. We really shouldn't need temples, nor could we afford them. Literature should be a priority, both for the GL and our main cultural building, the library.

donsig · Sep 5, 2002

Yeah, literature should be a priority after ironworking, the wheel, horsback riding and the techs for monarchy.

Cyc · Sep 5, 2002

I pretty much agree with Donsig, here. We're working on Iron Working now, I believe. Then we should head for a Monarchy. We should change govrnments as soon as possible to allow for rushing with money. The horses will help in finding barb camps, and this will help with the funding aspects of the game. I think the only way we'll be able to have any kind of science rate is in a Monarchy and if the non-stop wars extend, we'll need the benefits of the Hanging Gardens. After Monarchy, we head for libraries. And I would never trade or sell Monarchy, otherwise we will lose the HG.

chiefpaco · Sep 6, 2002

I like it. Maybe we can pick up some of the others (Pottery, The Wheel, Alphabet) by trade and just research down the Monarchy path.

I agree with this.... Early expansion is a key in high diff games like this one.

Also as I stated earlier monarcy is my least favorite goverment(Other than depotism). Will you mind me asking why exactly you picked monarcy?

donsig · Sep 6, 2002

Monarchy is better than despotism for war making and we can try for the Hanging Gardens.

We defenatly need to discover and upgrade governments to exscape the corruption and waste factor when expanding Fanatika

. For now Iron Working should be our top priority.

Stuck_as_a_Mac · Sep 6, 2002

iron working is, followed by a quest for lit.

I could have told you that.... Anything is better than despotism. Of course monarcy is faster to get, but The Republic is a much better goverment.... I even prefer it in war times over Monarchy.

1. Go for Iron Working and The Wheel first to raise our defenses.

2. Pursue the path to the Great Library. Alphabet/Writing/Literature

3. Shoot for a more stable government. Republic and Monarchy both work for me.

Sounds like a good plan

. I hope we can get The Republic when shooting for a more stable government

but during war time then tere is a need to switch to monarchy to counter the war-unhappyness though.

Strider · Sep 6, 2002

Here's a science queue I made up:

Iron Working
Alphabet
Writing
Ceremonial Burial
Literature
The Wheel
Mysticism
Pottery
Masonry
Horseback riding
Map Making
Polytheism
Monarcy (Through popular demand)
Mathematics
Construction
Code Of Laws
Philosophy
The Republic
Currency

This is just a proposal remember guys.

Stuck_as_a_Mac · Sep 6, 2002

1- u forgot writing.
2- lit needs to be higher.
just a little deputy critisisim

What I would like from the Science Department is some co-operation with the Domestic Department. In this thread:The Wonder Plan, I have laid out a few possibilities for future goals for our young civilization. Citizens are encouraged to comment on my proposals and come up with proposals of their own.

If the people are able to make a common goal for the ancient age, I hope it will be in the best interest of both departments to best facilitate it. For example, if we wish to pursue The Great Lighthouse, I hope the Science department can help out by having Map Making as a priority. The Domestic Dept would then ensure that we get a strong coastal city with hopefull a nicely timed pre-build.

Rather than getting caught up in possible queues, I hope we can set a goal and then work towards it. I hope to put up a poll for the favourite "goal" option soon. I would appreciate the Science Department's co-operation on this matter.

Thanks,

Octavian X · Sep 6, 2002

Stirder, your queue's looking good. I'm glad emphasis is placed on the GL. I would change horseback riding's priority depending on the availablity of horses. Its possible that we won't have access to horses anytime soon after we discover wheel. We should reconsidered riding on this factor, after the wheel.

Strider · Sep 6, 2002

I've already made a mental note of that Octavian. Everything on their can be changed at the last second.

Zarn · Sep 6, 2002

Re- worded post
Culture still counts in domination games. So, I say that ceremonial burial should be the 2nd,3rd, or 4th tech. Please don't change it later, so it would be even farther down.
Role play-The Council cannot always stay at my home. We need a strong hut that can last through the ages. We need a place where people can come and get advice. We need a place that would glorify our nation and the Force itself. I can see that one day, we will have a seperate place for the Council.
