We can always notch up the research speed later in the cycle.

Could we maybe have the AA tech tree with the latest CA2 on techs superimposed on it. It would then be easier (at least for me) to see the big plan in research and how we could make the most out of it.

It's always good to hear good news from Sid ...Rough draft KISSMIA Master Plan
The background:
--MIA had researched writing per their discussions with Donuts.
--MIA is writing to Doughnut that they are extremely upset with Doughnut for backing out of a deal for writing, CoL and Philo for WC, CB and IW.
--We got wheel from a hut. It fits.
While we research republic the other teams will do this.
--MIA will have masonry and will research map making, lit then poly (though I’d prefer TNT goes this path).
We would like Doughnut to research HBR, maths and currency and we give wheel now and republic when finished. They will give techs as they finish since they are at war. We can explain the math path by telling them about the TNT iron hill.
The aftermath.
So we are up CoL and Philo on MIA and they are up masonry.
We can say we traded for masonry and alleged gpt (transparent on the diplo screen) for CoL.
Then when Doughnut gives us HBR we can trade philo and HBR for map making and future considerations (harbors will be up so lux is an alleged option). This is when we show our relationship has warmed up to MIA.
Finally, currency and republic for lit and MIA's free tech in the MA.
Maybe MIA can go construction to finish the tree while we go poly? Doughnut self researches lit and map making?
Do we sell map making and lit to Doughnut and split the profit? Where does TNT fit in?
How to explain giving republic to MIA? Gold, lux, Mil. alliance vs. TNT, free tech ? Help me fill in the puzzle.

Now that MIA will meet TNT hopefully they can convince TNT to head down the monarchy path!! 
They should give them the knowledge of myst explaining they may need to be a monarchy like TNT needs the knowledge and have TNT research Poly.

<-- Here. 
I just hope we can manage to get MIA's free tech for Republic. Isn't the current deal that we sell it for a couple of AA techs? Our diplo team has some work to do then.
Regarding our Master Plan: It could as well lead to D'nuts not trading with us. I'd be very careful about this.

Nice draft Whomp 
. I won't dabble with this, you do it much better.

Looking pretty good, and any dealings with MIA can be hidden in the "Free Tech" ploy, considering that any of the MA techs are worth Republic and then some.
TNT is the odd man out. They have made their bed of nails and someone will make them lie in it. If they make it much past the opening window of the Middle Ages I would be surprised. And the only way they will get that far is if we help them out.

No city right now can be wasted.... @ 10% we are only contributing 1 G to the beakerheads.
So a scientist would actually waste more money. Once Effing Whomping Rower gets to size 2 after it's worker build, that second citizen can be swithced over to a scientist. Between the 90% corruption and the temple build it would be a great location for that.
Thanks Crakie

If we pay 1g for researching, a scientist would be a waste, because a taxman gives 2gpt.
But when we grow (and so does our income), a scientist will probably a better choice. But not now.

Agreed. Effning Whomping Rower is an excellent city for hiring a scientist when it's big enough. Until then, we might want to evaluate from time to time when we are wasting money (i.e. more than 2 gpt difference in 0 and 10 % research) and see if we can remedy it.

I had to dig deep to find this thread....
Since MIA sent MAsonry last turn, we are wway behind in techs.
MIA has HBR, Maps, & MAth ahead of us.
D'nut has MAth and HBR
TNT has Math over us but don't have Writing, Myst, Philo, or CoL.
Should we trade with TNT just to keep us up to speed and keep the war going on over accross the chunnel?

Do we really need math at the moment? If that is what we can get from TNT I say no to trading w them. I don't see how Writing, Myst, Philo, or CoL would help the either. I suggest we stay cool dudes and wait for rep. and then update our tech status.

ok... just throwing out ideas... however bad they might be.
