Code of Laws Tech path vs Archery/Iron/Myst

[AluminumKnight]

Don't forget you can safely trade for some techs

I realize that the AI tends to prioritize Alphabet, but remember that we cannot trade without that tech.

I am prepared to discuss and poll the next three technologies in the open here, after Aluminum Knights have played until Pottery.

I know Iron Working is one wanted technology, Meditation/CoL another, as well as Math/Construction, Possibly Math/Sailing, Currency yet another, or Alphabet.
Or other options.

Please feel free to research and argue your case for a tech route and it will be polled. The range would only be for the next session only, as we constantly revise technology planning as the games go on. And please, no catty remarks of course.

Moderator Action: Like the catty remark troll you just made? Knock it off please.

I realize that the AI tends to prioritize Alphabet, but remember that we cannot trade without that tech.

As long as the AI has Alphabet, you can trade techs with them.

I have played many games on Monarch now without beelining for Alphabet...sometimes, I haven't learned Alphabet until I get Currency or Construction first, lol. Alphabet does allow you to buils Spies though, which you can use to defend your cities against other spies or to obviously wreak havoc with your enemies.

From this and other threads, I would think that these are the main tech path choices: (Archery -> Mysticism first are a given)

1) Pottery -> IW
2) Pottery -> CoL
3) Straight to CoL
4) Pottery -> IW -> CoL
5) Pottery -> IW -> Math -> Construction
6) Pottery -> Math -> Construction
7) Pottery -> CoL -> Math -> Currency
8) Pottery -> Math -> Currency
7) Pottery -> IW -> Sailing
8) Pottery -> Sailing
9) Pottery -> Sailing -> Meditation
10) Pottery -> Meditation
11) Pottery -> Sailing -> Meditation -> CoL
12) Pottery -> CoL -> Meditation
13) Pottery -> Sailing -> IW
14) Pottery -> Sailing -> CoL
15) Pottery -> Sailing -> Math -> Currency -> CoL
16) Pottery -> Sailing -> CoL -> Math -> Currency

Now, most immediate choice is Pottery or CoL or IW or Meditation or Sailing next. Run that poll imediately.

Pottery is already in the techline for today.

We are to discuss technology route for the next session after todays (Aluminum Knights' session).

1) IW
2) Meditation - CoL
3) Math -> Construction
4) Math -> Currency
5) Math -> Sailing
6) Sailing -> Math

However, all this will be discussed after Aluminum Knights playsession, where we all know more about which tech route to pick. This will now be discussed, here, in the open, and polled properly, covering the number of turns next session will take.

 

[AluminumKnight]

Yeah, Pottery will be researched after Mysticism.

That is a good list, kwp. Personally, I like IW after Pottery, but we shall see what happens in the turnchat tonight.

No reason it has to wait till then.

 

[Provolution]

Big reason, and most agree.

Big reason, and most agree.

Post the reason please, and most do not agree.

I am now for Alphabet, so discussing this further is moot, Ravensfire.
