Are We Ready For Democracy?

I voted right now. The sooner we do this, the less opportunity we will have to make excuses later. Please click on the Democracy, War And Magnetism thread in the first post to view a potential timeline for our switch.

I also voted for Right now. Err, How soon shall we start to bring out the Molotov Cocktails?

Oh, what the heck....I'll bring the timeline over here. If you like this plan, then you must also support plans to research Magnetism next in the current science poll.

Here is the chain of events I would like to see unfold by choosing this tech first.

1. With no immediate reason to choose otherwise, we enter Anarchy right away, with Magnetism in the Science queue.

2. After 4-7 turns, we enter Democracy. We should be able to discover Magnetism 3-4 turns after that.

3. After this, we enter the Industrial Age and head straight for Steam Power. I am not sure of research length, but it would probably be 7-12 turns(maybe less?). In the meantime, we keep an eye out for civs that have discovered Military Tradition and try to make a trade.

4. My hope is that we will have both techs by the discovery of Steam Power. Keep in mind that most civs will get to Military Tradition before Steam Power, so we have a better chance of getting the former in trade.

5. During all this, we will have had plenty of time to unleash many a knight out into the field. We then upgrade as many knights as possible, build our rails and take out Egypt.

So, in a nutshell --- within 20 turns, we can have a more profitable government, 3 important techs, and a ready army of Cavalry. But it all starts with Magnetism.

Vote for Magnetism -- and vote for a successful war!
