We are researching Medicine right now. It is due in 4 turns.
What can we research next:
Sanitation (after we are done with medicine):Gives us hospitals to grow...
Scientific Method: Wonder: Theory of Evolution
Nationalism: Unit: Riflemen
The Corporation: After this is done we can research Steel/Refining

Current Research Path from last TC:
Industrialization: Complete
Medicine: 4 turns left
Scientific Method: Haven't begun...

So do we keep on the same research path or decide a new one??

Discuss...

I cast my vote for Sanitation.

 

[Chieftess]

Sanitation, and Scientific Method. Then, research whatever tech takes the same, or less time than it does to build ToE, whilst keeping the 2 free techs that get us Hoover.

Highest priority: get Spices AND Gems for Dyes/Magnetism/Theory of Gravity from Aztecs. We need the happiness.

NOT sanitation, but industrialization, because this is a demogame and we repeatedly have proven our inability to keep/make luxury deals. Thus I am afraid that we will run in significant happiness problems.

PS: I said it before and i say it again: I would go for New Hlobane and its furs and try to control the isthmus between Aztecs and Persia.

Edit/add: And I would sell electricity for 251gpt, 188g, wm to Persia to get money for upgrades and slow down Persian research for 20 turns.

We can get 257 gpt from Persia in either tao's Electricity deal or Truckingpete's Industrialisation deal. If we are concerned that Persia are in their golden age and will declare war as soon as they come out of it and can no longer afford this amount of gpt we could investigate a city and find out. Any city would do for this; the cheapest one will cost us only 34 gold.

 

[truckingpete]

So what one do we do???

Toa's: electricity for 251gpt, 188g, wm to Persia
truckingpete's: Industrialization for WM/188g/257 GPT

We all agree to research Sanitation next?

We all agree to get the spices and gems from the Aztecs?

 

[Furiey]

Sanitation AFTER Scientific Method, making sure that we time the research so that we get Atomic Theory and Eelectronics as our 2 free techs from the Theory of Evolution so that we can build the Hoover Dam.

We definitely want the Luxuries.

Hmm..okay...

I think we really need to see what can be researched in the time it takes to finish ToE, since I'm pretty sure we want the Hoover slingshot.
