Gameplay Discussion of Research

[Provolution]

We would be wise to research Alphabet, then sailing and math, so we can trade techs with the other nations. Be careful of giving horseback riding to Lincoln though, they got horses.

I am leary of trading techs unless I get a serious advantage out of it. Also, everything you give the AI is usually one less tech they need on the way to a military unit that will hurt your military strategy.

 

[Provolution]

Yeah , but we trade the techs and kill them before they can build.

Possibly in the case of machinery/CS/etc but in the case of HBR it provides a unit that is so easily countered by us that i think we should assume it will be a very usefull trading chip.

Every hammer the AIs spend on a horse archer is a hammer not spent on a serious unit.

I agree with this

 

[Provolution]

Yeah, we should trade what we can after Alphabet.

This is a very good point.
