This is a Final runoff poll...
The original poll was Game Settings: Tech Tradings
Choices
Tech Trading ON - Teams are allowed to trade techs with each other as well as trade techs that they received through a gift or trade
Tech Trading OFF - Any request for a poll will require at least two sponsors
Explanation of Choices
With tech trading ON, forming and maintaining tech trading alliances will be a critical part of the game... So diplomacy will be very important.
If tech trading is ON, we will have lots and lots of diplomacy-related talk, mostly revolving around making and managing tech alliances, and one time tech trades. We will always be talking about diplomacy, and meeting our rivals before the other teams do will be one of the most important things in the game.
With tech trading OFF, mastery of tile, city, and specialist micromanagement will be essential, because it will be those small advantages... an extra beaker here, an extra commerce point there... who gets a great person first and what type etc., which will allow one team to get ahead in tech, growth, everything.
If tech trading is OFF, the discussions about what we will do each turn will be dominated by MMing (micromanagement) talk. For example... Whether to work the corn or the gold and how many versus how much we will generate by doing one or the other. We will talk about this stuff anyway, but with tech trading off, it will be a much more important part of our game.
MMing is a little more technical and requires a little more research and calculation than diplomacy, because it is all about the numbers.
Diplomacy (diplo) on the other hand is a little bit less about CIV and more about people, politics and interpersonal relationships. The skills needed for good diplo are different from the skills needed for good MMing, but generally, it takes more CIV experience to be good at MMing than it does to be good at diplo.
