Term 4 - Science Department : War is a Science

[Eklektikos]

I have posted a three part poll regarding utilisation of our Great Leader: What should we use Richthoffen for?, if the FP, where? and if the Palace, where? Please vote in all these polls ASAP if you wish to make your voice heard before tonight's turn chat!

Gunning, May I suggest that we bost our science rate so that we can get gunpowder faster and quickly get military tradition.

Thanks,
Grand Admiral CivGeneral, Govenor of the North Provance and Acting Military Deputy.

That may be a good idea, Grand Admiral CivGeneral, Govenor of the North Provance and Acting Military Deputy, but the Domestic Department is in charge of setting the science rate.

 

[FortyJ]

I have conducted an analysis on raising the science rate and posted my summary in the Dometic Department thread. I have also been asked to post that same information here.

Instead, I will provide you with a link to this post. I will also start a joint Domestic-Science Department discussion on this matter in the Citizens forum.

I think we should look into buying astronomy from someone. We can get it from Babylon for incense and 85gpt (or there-abouts). We could then sell it off to other countries that don't have it. We caould also declare war on Babylon afterwards and save the 85gpt.

 

[GenMarshall]

Gunning, as you know, we have discovered that the Zulus has the Gunpowder Advance we are researching on during the TC. I have notified the Trade Department since No deals have been made (Since I decided to stop the TC and figure out the best deal to get there gunpowder).

 

[gunning1]

Yes, there are many civs with gunpowder now. I think all except England have it. The best deal that we could really work out in the chat was either I think 440 gold, incense, and 3 gpt or MAYBE 475 gold and incense.

 

[donsig]

We can also buy the printing press or banking or astronomy. Almost all the civs have these techs. Since we'll have gunpowder on our own in 16 turns we should consider just researching it ourselves and picking up a couple other techs. We can get printing press from Babylon for incense and 12g. We can also get astronomy from India for furs and 725g. We could substitute gpt for some of that 725g. Instead of paying the 725g we could pay 25gpt and 250g.

 

[GenMarshall]

That is true Donsig . We can try to "Convince" the AI civ to agree to our deal .

Donsig, I beleve the Trade Department would be egar to see this proposal also .

 

[gunning1]

Yes, I agree too.

 

[donsig]

How fast can we get gunpowder if we up the science rate for a while? We may be better off doing that and buying astronomy and printing press.

 

[Chieftess]

I urge science to look at my proposal here.

 

[Chieftess]

I would like science to sponser this trade (since the Trade Department seems inactive):

I'd like a poll on the last two trades. (the "1-for-1" deals).

 

[Stuck_as_a_Mac]

CT- If gunning does nothing, Ill just pop up this poll

 

[gunning1]

I'm sorry, I've been gone for a while. I'll try to get it up soon.
