Another(and maybe the last) Reasearch Poll

[Strider]

This is a research poll to see what should go first? Steel or refining. Post any comments here. The loser of this poll will be put into the 11th Queue. Remember if you have any comments about the current science queue post them in the Science proposal thread.

Sanitation, of course. I can see the Atomic Energy Commision standing in line to use the outhouse. One of them would probably put a retina scan device on the door while they were waiting.

 

[chiefpaco]

I would like to see Sanitation and Espionage in there too. And I hope it isn't the last Research poll we ever have, they're fun.

 

[Lecky]

Sanitation

 

[crabapple]

I will also see Sanitation

 

[Shaitan]

Another for sanitation, and I'd rate it quite high. The order between refining and steel doesn't really matter at all. They're both empty techs and prerequisites for the same thing.

 

[Daaraa]

Refining for the Oil

We'll trade for sanitation
We don't have very many cities who would benifit from a hospital even in the next few turns.

 

[Cyc]

Daaraa, just so you know, right know we have 1 pop9 city, 6 pop10 cities, 1 pop11 city, and three pop12. That makes 11 cities pop9 or above. It will take 18 turns just to finish Industialization and Medicine. At that time we will have 8 pop10 cities, 3 pop11 cities, and 4 pop12. And that's before our first chance to study Sanitation. Add another 8-10 turns to that for Sanitation and you're probably looking at a total of 8 pop12 cities ready to burst.

If you look at the queue this is to decide which goes into the 10th queue spot. Right now were trying to move as fast as possible to get to motorized transportation (as of falcon's proposal) Me and falcon had already planned to buy sanation from another civ. If we have not got sanation once the current queue is over, that will be the first thing we go for.

This might be the last one, because the science queue is almost completly set up and their is not much debate left over the science research. If more debate picks up I might post some new polls.

 

[Civanator]

sanitation, if not we can buy it

 

[Stravinski]

One more for sanitation

 

[Curufinwe]

one thing I just thought of, if we are going for the fastest route to Motorized Transport will that not mean that we'll be researching as 1st person for a while, that could get costly, but I suppose the benefits exist.

 

[Strider]

As I mainly said in one of my upper posts(through not directly) Sanation is not a option. Falcon proposed to go straight for tanks after that current research queue was completed. Sanation is not a part of the queue falcon proposed and the citizens voted in. Here's the Research poll. I onl have this poll to try and give the citizens more choice in the Science department.

 

[Shaitan]

Y'all should have gone with my proposal.

 

[Cyc]

I did.
