Is it possible to beat difficulty 7 or 8 without taking rationalism? I'm a bit ambivalent about this set up. It's probably the most powerful policy tree; the AI doesn't care much about it; it doesn't seem possible to win without using it. Am I reading this wrong? It doesn't seem like there is much room to strategize. I felt like I could try different policy combinations with some degree of success on difficulty 6 (I don't care about winning every game, just want it to be interesting and have my civ be competitive), but on diff. 7 it's basically tradition->patronage->rationalism if I don't want to consitently be an era behind in technology. The fact that the AI seems to be programmed to not prioritize the most powerful SP tree in the game just makes it seem like too much of an I Win Button.
