Another REsearch poll

[Curufinwe]

It will take roughly 12-15 turns to get TOE. so we have that much time to research. What should we do.
Curufinwe's plan: Trade for or research Replacable parts, then Sanitation, and then if we have time steel. If not no science for a while. AFter building TOE we get atomic theory and electronics
Strider's plan: Stick with the normal queue.
Eyrei's plan: See first post http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24929&perpage=20&display=&pagenumber=1

I applaud your iniative curufinwe!

I submit the following table of which lists those techs we can reseach now.

Tech (current place in science queue) / 60% sci / 70% / 80% / 90%

Atomic theory     (1) / 12 turns / 10 / 9 / 8
Replaceable parts (3) /  6       /   5 / 4 / 4 
Refining          (4) / 10       /   8 / 7 / 7
Steel             (5) /  8       /   7 / 6 / 6
Espionage         (-) /  6       /   5 / 4 / 4
Sanitation        (-) /  6       /   5 / 4 / 4

At 60% science our surplus is 254 gpt
At 70% science our surplus is 174 gpt
At 80% science our surplus is  89 gpt
At 90% science our surplus is   9 gpt

Curufinwe, it looks like yor plan and eyrei's are very similar!

I wish you had included an 'other' option. I think we should trade for replaceable parts within the next four turns and research sanitation now. We would then still be able to research espionage and either steel or refining before ToE was complete.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yes, and i just realized I don't want espionage, so I shall edit mine.

 

[Curufinwe]

Actually the reason why I didn't add an other option is because people had time to post their proposals, it was rushed yes but we are short on time, and they didn't nclude it. Also your's is remarcably similar to mine, barring espionage, which we can trade for later. Also this ends at the beginning of the next turn chat, so vote quickly.

 

[Cyc]

Please keep in mind we have to be researching Atomic Theory when we finish building the ToE in order to be offered the Electronics option.

 

[eyrei]

Keep in mind that access to espionage would allow us to start wars without taking the reputation hit or increased war weariness that is normally associated with being the aggressor. We may want this freedom to help our friends and punish our enemies.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Research poll ends, in my view far too early, but the only speed possible, and it stands as follows
1. Curufinwe's Proposal-6 votes
2. Eyrei's Proposal-5 Votes
3. Strider's Proposal-0 Votes
1 abstain.

 

[Strider]

I would have went for Curufinwe's plan, but I'm alittle late on voting(I voted anyway through )

Oh.... and by the way It's not my plan, It is Falcon's (are military leader) plan. I will ask curufinwe to pm me his plan.
