At the moment, Astronomy and Monotheism are tied for our top priority science research. I was going to post a run-off poll, but see that you intend to play today, so would not be time for everyone to vote. As Science Advisor (even though I already voted in the poll) I would recommend making Astronomy the #1 choice, as the AI likes to build Cops, which we need in a specific city to be really useful; Mikes can benefit even if captured later. After you have played the next round I will reassess our Science situation and likely post additional polls for futher clarification.
Respectfully, Royal Science Advisor Leowind.
