we can demand tribute from the AI which can be used to rushbuy things, also popping huts will give some gold.

When doing this we have the chance of getting other techs that will slow us down further.
But any tech we get from AI actualy increases the chance of getting weither Mon or Poly from a hut

sounds like we are damned if we do and damned if we don't.

I like this plan -- get Poly, set science low, pray, pop huts, evaluate.

the ai never researches mon anyways....so we want it from a hut, if we pop enough it will come to us lol

Why don't we research poly until it has allmost been discovered, then switch everything over to lux and taxes for some turns to get the populous working again. In the mean time pop every hut you can find and build roads all over the place. We have lots of time before we have to worry about discovering new tech.

Thats what I ment in above post, by not discovering Poly we almost double our chances of getting a good tech from a hut, be it either Mon or Poly

Forgot about tax limits. Must've been playing too much Civ1.
Anyway, we should still pop huts as much as we can and build roads to help trade rate but it looks as if our science rate is screwed anyway, so forget it until we can do something about it. We probaly can get Poly or Mon from a hut sooner than we can research them.

Sorry atawa, Didn't intend to copycat you my connection was bad at at the time and i only got to read about 5 posts and no smileys or avatars came up so I just voted and hit the reply button to add my two cents.
But you know, i think its a great plan

Thanks, and no worries
