    Tech Stealing

    We will soon go to war with the Egyptians, and they have several techs that we will be able to acquire from them. Which ones should we take?

    We should of course take them all. I believe this poll is to prioritize acquisitions. Just to clear things up.

    Well, of course we will have all of them eventually. But I'll have to make choices as events unfurl, and I'll need to know which to go for first...

    If any diplomats join the invasion, we could steal first, then acquire another tech by conquest. Alas, I'm not sure we have enough boats for that. I would prefer to take whatever we don't research ourselves.

    We should take University, to boost our research efforts and help us hurry to Conscription.

    The problem is that everybody hates us - so nobody is willing to trade with us. If that does not change, we simply walk in a steal techs.

    I agree. Given what Shade experienced in the previous turns, the AIs are not interested in trading techs with us. Looks like we'll have to earn them or take them for a while. And it won't be too long before they won't have any we don't.

    What do we gain from economics? We aren't even building Marketplaces.

    Let's see....economics...Stock Exchanges, which aren't much use to us now, Adam Smiths, which we will soon acquire anyways, and it's a prereq for Corporation, a long ways off...I think that university would be a much more useful acquisation than economics at this point.
