Tech List


Morgan's Research Progress


our situation is war with the university. do we want to bulk up our military? ignore them? as you can see, we'll probably be getting Doctrine: flexibility from morgan soon, so we should be building some nice probies to hack the University's knowledge soon.


Please vote for TWO techs
you have 5 Days

[Kirov]

Enviromental Economics

Intellectual Integrity.

Conquer techs can wait, firstly we have to:
1) find Zak
2) infiltrate Zak
3) steal him techs or even interrupt his EG progress (is it possible with PT's?)

Tree Farms will give us boost in population and energy, and that's what is needed. More cash from now, more rushbuilding of combat units later...

I assume that we will gain D:Flex from Morgan.

if by PTs you mean probe teams, then yes. i'd rather just let him build it, and conquer it from him

The same turn he builds EG, he will start elections, and will have nice chances to be elected, esp if he bribes someone else. Even if we grab EG turn later, for 20 turns we will not have a chance to change the governor. I think we should either try to stirr up his production, or just give up this whole affair for a while.

[GeneralTacticus]

We'll have support from Morgan, assuming we don't manage to lose it via Planned, which gives us a significant edge over Zakh in vote totals even with the EG, and it's rather unlilkely that any other factions will take sides in the elections.

[GeneralTacticus]

I picked environmental economics to help with energy gathering and for Tree Farms, and High Energy Chemistry so we can go for missile weapons.

[DeathByTheSword]

we can get flex from morgan so i voted high enegry chemistry and environmental eco

[Earwicker]

EE to lift energy restrictions - we need breakthroughs to come much more often than every 16 years.

Getting Flex from Morgan will be a huge boost for our war effort (see what Zak can "give" us). And plasma is on a line to missiles - we'll be ready for Zak if he lands.

[Drogue]

EE is needed, i went for Intel Integ for CDF but HEC would be nice too.

[Method]

now, i voted HEC, but it was a few days ago so i don't remeber what my other choice was

[dmm1285]

I vote for intellecectual first becasue it has a fairlygood sp, leads to cyberrethics whichhas a fairly nice sp, and cyberethics leads to superstring theory with non linear math, which would give us a nice adavatega in conuqeinrg power without devoting our labs to it.

hmm, a tie! and but 45 minutes before the orders are due
