Science Poll #2

people, can we see what is happening? we are falling behind in the tech race. we have discovered three opponents and all are technologicaly superior to us. If we run for the GL, we can reap its benifits quickly and become a power. How would you like to be attacking spearmen with calvary? If we follow the scientific path, I designed it to help us run for literature. thank god (do we have a god?) this poll is not binding and strider has the final say. we need to go for the GL to make sure that we are not the ones with the spearmen, but with the calvary.

The GL is not the reason I want lit so badly.... It's the libraries... It's a key improvment during the entire game, and getting them early will almost make us the highest scientific nation throughout the entire game.

okay, mabey the gl is not the most important (cough, cough) but as strider said, libraiers are. we cannot fall behind in our weaponry. and people- the quest for monarchy leads to no new units, no new buildings, just monarchy.

But we need a King to lead our armies!

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

no we dont. monarchy was useless back then and it is in the game as well. Republic all the way!

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

and of course, to get republic, we need LITERATURE

 

[donsig]

But we are not even close to being able to support a viable republic. Our people must live through a succession of Great Kings in order to appreciate the wonders of a republic. Republics need markets and banks and trading partners - which we do not have. Kings only need weak neighbors, which we do have!

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

therefore if we dont have banks why do we have a stock exchange and bank in the rpg?

 

[Chieftess]

No comment.

 

[FionnMcCumhall]

I guess no one else is going to come up with anything better on why we should not go for science??

strider, you lucky so and so, you get the final say. you all know what id do right about now.
