Favorite tech in game?

[CivNoobie]

post your favorite tech of the game and the quote.

For example, mine would be

Spoiler :

rocketry: The Earth is the cradle of the mind, but one cannot eternally live in a cradle-Konstantin E. Tsiolkovsky

 

[robbyextreme]

Libaralism because in 3.19 that means you won the game. Spend a few hours mindlessly spamming curaissers for victory

 

[JSS]

Fission

If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky. That would be like the splendor of the mighty one. I have become death the shatterer of worlds.

-J Robert Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad Gita

 

[Osbiath]

Can't get better than Satellite;

Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep…-Sputnik

 

[pomthom]

Can't get better than Satellite;

Beep…Beep…Beep…Beep…-Sputnik

You beat me to it (although Satellites is definitely not my favorite tech)

Currency

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.

[Macksideshow]

Currency

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.
- Publius Syrius

I was going to say this too

 

[LincolnOfRome]

Corporation - "An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility."

 

[Pangaea]

I like that quote for Corporation. So true as well

Many good quotes in the game actually.

Many are more inspiring, but none seem quite so apropos as Gunpowder
"You can get more of what you want with a kind word and a gun, than you can with just a kind word." --Al Capone

As for actual favourite tech, it would have to be Alphabet [one of the more inspiring quotes, but somehow Al's seems better suited to winning the game]

"Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our word." --The Buddha

Ha..I watched one of his vids some time ago. That guy is really bad at the game, but thinks he is good.

"Removed Videolink"

Hmm, interesting playthrough

My favorite quote is from Civ3:
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win" - Sun Tzu

I think this quote came with the completion of some kind of espionage wonder/Project, but I'm unsure.

Edit: Removed videolink

 

[Izuul]

Lots of great quotes. Gunpowder and Corp have already been mentioned, but this is another one of my favorites:

"The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy."

My favorite quote is from Civ3:
"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win" - Sun Tzu

I think this quote came with the completion of some kind of espionage wonder/Project, but I'm unsure.

I don't think espionage existed in Civ3, and if it did it wasn't until late game. I think the quote is from completion of the wonder "Sun Tzu's Art of War" which gave a free barracks in every city.

 

[Izuul]

That quote is in Civ 4 too, i believe it's the one for MT.

 

[elitetroops]

Steam Power - "You would make a ship sail against the winds and currents by lighting a bon-fire under her deck? I have no time for such nonsense." - Napoleon

 

[pomthom]

Quotes that should be in Civ 4:

The evidence is clear-in build, in war, in movement timing is the superior.

 

[rfcfanatic]

Artillery - "Artillery adds dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl" - Frederick the Great
