Stop being so sooky, Optional!
I wanted Optics early only to figure out what was beyond that mountain-range. And if scouts die, you replace them! Which we sortof did, but still no Optics.
Not pointing fingers here, maybe I should've voiced my opinion a little bit stronger?
But I know from old experiences, ppl calculators always win over random hap-hazard dudes like me. I did say more than once that we need optics to find what was down there, but that would've slowed down current research. So the course of techs was perfect in aftermath.
You never know, maybe Fountain of Youth was sitting in the fog?
So, I'm not whinging, I just want be able to vent what I feel in a game and it has nothing to do with Teamleaders or whatever. I just want to make a point. But if everyone disregard my points without answers, then why do I even try to make a point? And I do understand the techpath we did, which won the game.
Still, not going for a 2-turn Optics is beyond me, but that's only to my preference of scouting the map. We wouldn't lost the game taking it.
We'll get it right next time.
