No Longer Just Lurking
Hmmm, I was tempted by this, thank you for the nomination, but I must decline. August will be a very busy month for me, and I do not want to start something then not have the time to finish it.

I nominate myself and accept,
boy alot of stuff happened while I was gone...
Technologies is my speciality...
1. Are you running for multiple positions?
No, I am 100% devoted to the tech department
2. If you answered yes to the above question, what positions are you running for, and in what order would you accept them if you win multiple elections?
N/A
3. If this position is not your first choice as answered in question 2, why should we vote for you here, knowing that our vote may be wasted if you win another election?
N/A
edit: Cyc's Question:
Question for the Candidates:
What Tech will we research first? Which, in your opinion should be second? Third?
First: Pottery(I always believe this is the most important first tech, unless you start with it)
Second/Third: Depends on if we have met neightbors and how much coast we have:
If we have met neighbors/no coastline:
Bronze Working
Iron Working
Coastline:
Alphabet
Writing
Map Making
Of course the will of the people will go through first, but above is my opinons
Of all the Technologies in the Ancient Age, which is the most significent to a Japanese society?
Iron Working, as the Samurais are very important in japanese tradition

i know, but through japanese traditons iron working was needed before they even thought about samuraisChieftess said:

ok, IE just crashed on me after writing a responce to Cyc's questions.. i'll type them all again.
This is the only position i am running for.

Pottery should always be researched first IMO. With it, you get granarys, which are very important to early civ growth. However, this is a democracy game, and if most people want a different plan, then i will comply.
As for 2nd and 3rd techs, i belive we should research Alphabet and Writing, followed by Literature, as getting the Great Library would be very helpful. But if the majority thinks we should research something else, what they say, goes.

I would have to say Map Making, as the Japanese were an island nation, and Japan's culture was very dependant on fishing, and that comes with harbors (the extra food for every water square).

Which Tech 1st? 2nd? 3rd?
This depends on where we are. We, as Japan, start out with Warrior Code and Ceremonial Burial. It would be possible for us to persue the Monarchy path and reach it first, but that would not be prudent.
If we were to be located on a large continent with room to expand, I would suggest, as do my opponents, Pottery. Regardless. This would be the first tech on the line for the way to ships, so it fits if we were to have a small island. Following Pottery, we would need bronze working only if we had met another neighbor. Warriors would suffice if we did not see anyone for a while. Otherwise, we might want to consider beelining to Literature or doing the aforementioned trek to Monarchy for a) growth and b) high tradeability.
Of all the techmologies in the Ancient Age, which is the most significant to a Japanese society
To this, I would ask if it were based on the DG5 Japanese or the real Japanese. If it were the real, it would be Map Making, as it got Japan its naval units. However, it is yet to be seen what it would be to our society. We may need something the real Japanese did not. We may land on a resource rich area and not have to take the path Japan did.
In Conclusion,

I belive that we should beeline to Literature after we research Pottery. That would be a good tactic to use, CT.

this depends on if we have found neighbors early and if they are agressiveChieftess said:
also since we have barbs on raging bronze working and iron working can become important
but many of these questions cant be fully answered until we play along somewhat

My thoughts are that we should research Bronze Working first, then Ceremonial Burial, and depending on our situation, head for Iron Working or Pottery. This would of course be subject to the will of the citizenry.
Iron Working is the most important to Japanese society - bring on the Samurai. This assumes of course that we are not isolated, as isolation would mean the need for a completely different tech path.

The candidates I sense has the closest perception of the game environments as me to this particular game would be Rik Meleet and Blackhole, who both advocates for an early race for the iron working technology. Immortal, who through the merchant guild states that the strategic resource, here iron, is the most strategic target, may also be a good candidate. However, even pottery may be a good starting tech to go for, I would actually
go for 1. Bronze working, 2-. Iron working and 3. Pottery, due to the fact we would probably not build granary or irrigation as we will spread with settlers with escorts on this large continent faced by ravaging barbarians en route. The risk environment is so tough in this game, and the territory so large, is that early survival and sudden expansion should overrule early development of an agricultural civilization where granary and irrigation is the priority. Furthermore, getting our scouts out as far as possible is important early on, in order to find resources, other civs, goody huts, strategic defensible borders to block further settlement and in general figure out if we are on an island or a continent, and to determine its shape, plus future city placement.
So, I would ideally rank the techs as bronze, iron and pottery, and support Rik Meleet and Blackhole, tentatively also Immortal as my top three candidates.

pete- once again, we are on vanilla
and civman- welcome to the race
Once again, I urge people to not place too much value on what techs go first, seeing as we ahve no knowledge on what we will be delt. The Currency/Literature gambit is a good one, but it might not be appropriate for the hand we are dealt.
And Once again:
This game is on Vanilla Civ3, 1.29f. NOT C3C. There is no Philosophy gambit.

I just realized I have to drop out of the race. Im headed up to The Cape tomorrow (until next Monday) and I'll have limited internet access.
So, unless you dont mind a science minister who will be gone until August 2nd, I have to drop
But, then again, the game might not start until later
and the first chat is always just the startup, with nothing else...
Anyone have aproblem with me staying under the circumstances?
