I was looking through some of the loading tips, and the one about order and unquestioning obedience made me realise I'd never seen it (I rarely play order).

Will we ever see an order tech? (and maybe a CoE/Empyrean tech? ;)
 
I'm not sure what could be put with those techs....perhaps some passive bonus like the Lanun Seafaring tech. Or perhaps a wonder like the tower of complacency. Huh...just occurred to me that Order and the others don't have wonders associated with them either.
For the Order, perhaps something akin to a palace that reduces nearby maintenance costs. Better yet, one that reduces the maintenance cost of all owner's cities that have temple of the order in them by some odd %. Sort of like a vatican styled thing. Herm...or just a wonder that builds a basillica in every city. Be convenient at least.
Empyream could get a wonder that grants a diplo bonus with all other civs (think the united nations building) plus commerce. Would certainly help with the whole peace thing they've supposedly got going (Chalid ain't exactly a peace-time guy).
CoE might be good with something that gave any unit built their the mask promotion. Just imagine the havoc that could cause. :eek:
I'm half tempted to suggest nixing the invisibility of that Nox thingy they have and replace it with the mask promotion for everyone idea. Invisible workers are nice and all, but being unable to defend on hills and forests causes difficulty and it's really annoying to fight invisible guys you can't do anything about (continuous rings of flame and maelstroms from unknown sources and assassins taking out my catapults does not a happy me make).
It might also be appropriate if the CoE could get access to some actual "religious" buildings. Call them secretive clubhouses where all the high mucky mucks and their goons get together to plot horrible things.
And that's all I got for now. Thoughts?
 
Unquestioning Obedience used to be the Order-specific tech, like the other religion-specific techs. It was taken out a while ago, when Kael redid the tech tree, but I guess the loading tip hasn't been updated yet.
 
The loading tips are occasionally added to, but I don't think ever fixed. There's some pretty old references in there.
 
Is the tip about the Lanun getting -1 food from farms still in there? That one messed up my strategy in my first Lanun game until I realized it wasn't true...
