Just For Fun: Oracle --> Education Slingshot @ Emperor

[UWHabs]

Well, C1+cover is only very marginally better. Taking the numbers from above, C2 you get 10.8 vs. 8.4 (R=1.285), but if you take C1 and cover, you're at 9.9 vs. 7.65 (1.294). Unless if you just barely hit a jump point in attacking, it's probably the difference between 71.6% and 72.5% or something like that.

Plus half of Issy's defenders were melee, cover wouldn't have helped too much. (in fact, the best city defender there was an axeman, which one jan already took care of)

if you really want to mess around slingshot Liberalism with the Oracle. I have done it on Monarch but can't get it any higher than that.

Given that education is more expensive than liberalism i really don't see a reason for doing that... With over 200% bonus combat outperform cover anyways...

 

[Memphus]

there is no reason. the whole point is you get a tech that gives you another tech.

just messin around with game mechanics.

if you want it to be usefull for something then play as a philisophocal leader and oracle Lib, then use Lib to Pick Biology or communism.

Education would still make that faster ----> you could sink bulbs into the cheaper liberalism (just don't trade for machinery), while oracle would still yield edu instantly...although taking either of those would require a lot of pre-reqs you'd likely not have the base research to get before completing oracle anyway, and edu would help you clear them too...

Nice slingshot, hmm I wonder if in the lull after stonehenge one could chop out say 3 settlers and build workers in new cities... Looks like I have to try this one out on Monarch(Me is no emperor yet)
