Is that what was holding things up? Yeah, my turn's taken... sorry I forgot to post that.
You make some interesting points that should be discussed in the main forums.Now that Koshling has finally dared researching Writing, I was wondering, does it really compensate the tech loss from obsoleting the Elder Council along with otherstuff? There are the new tech adoptions which sum up to some % loss from the marvelous +25%
of the Elder Council, but even so I believe it's a great potential loss there.
By examining the tech tree (remember I'm still pretty new to C2C), I see that there is no way to get to the next era without going through writing. This means we can't do that forever (a wise decision in the mod's development IMO), which then means this tactic can be used to boostproduction to complete all needed techs that can be researched before needing to research writing.
Wouldn't it be far better for tech development if one gets all needed techs from this era before researching writing? I don't have many numbers here to analyze, so I'm just guessing. I can understand strategic needs may rush one's civilization to research writing, but if those aren't in the way, I believe the gain in development one can get from researching all needed techs from this era before going for writing is a great and quick boost to a civilization's development, provided this civilization has relied on Elder Councils in the majority of its cities and produces enough rawin each city to compensate for some buildings that give those raw
that are unlocked with/after writing.
No civic changes needed, just follow the steps of the largest nation hereWhat I'M wondering is what civics are we looking for to expand the city limits?
