lightbulbing towards liberalism

[helemaalnicks]

I don't know how to do this. I always end up getting GS's that have the option to lightbulb compass or sometin else I really dont need, so I settle/make academy most of the times. This isn't that bad, since I often run a mids powered SE, but still, I'd like to lightbulb to liberalism, since I know this is important in order to move up in skill levels. I know there is a list on this forum with lightbulbing order for all great pple, but I can't find it. Which technologies should I have, and which should I purposely lack, in order to get to liberalism asap?

Tx.

If you want to bulb liberalism you need calendar and compass but NOT machinery (and obviously all lib prereqs ie philosophy and education).

TY. That was what I was looking for. I don't really need to lightbulb liberalism itself. But lightbulbing phil and/or paper and/or education and/or liberalism.

OK, those are pretty easy to bulb. You need code of laws or drama (plus meditation (EDIT: I had mysticism here, that's wrong, med is a required prereq for philo)) I think to bulb philo.

Paper seems a waste of a bulb, it is really cheap. Once you have it education is the next thibng a GS will bulb.

At marathon speed paper is not a waste of bulb, since it's the only thing you can discover with a single bulb at that time.
That's one big imbalance: bulbing on marathon sucks and Great Specialists on large maps(and especially in relatively(to the map size) large empires of a warmonger)suck also.
