Mathematics/Polytheism as next target

[Gramphos]

From the latest science pool most votes for the same path were for Monotheism (prereq: Polytheism), but if you summed all votes including Mathematics, (all with Astronomy+Mathematics) Math had two votes more then Monotheism. As none of them had >50% of the votes, and they were close: I do another poll between the two. 24 hours. Need at least 50% of the voters from the other poll to count.

Let's go boys! Polytheism is the way! We need to get to Monotheism, so we can build Michelangelo's Chapel ASAP!

Let's go boys! Mathematics is the way! We need to get to Astronomy, so we can build Copernicus' Observatory ASAP!


(just playing devil's advocate... )

Science is important, Marquis, but what good is to have a wonder, if cities revolting produce no science at all?

Do you want the best for Apolytonia, or for Utopia?

Poly,Poly,Poly!!!!

(I rather want my troops to explore and fight foreign troops then to suppres our unhappy population.)

If we get Hanging Gardens, we can have early republic without huge happiness problems. In fact, we can get early growth through LWTxD. But if no HG, we MUST have Mike's Chapel.

I agree that the science path is key to overall success, but HAPPINESS FIRST.



Mr. President, Are we building any wonders?
Is anybody else?

kassiopeia (I think that's the right one), What does city planning think?

Give us information or live with the will of an uninformed electorate!!!

We aren't...I don't know about the other nations.

Then we should be working on HG -- now! (Grabbing Colossus if we miss it.)
It's 375 BC. The early WOWs are key!

Earlier I was told one AI was working on the Great Wall.

As for this poll, I'm inclined to say we go Poly-Mono, since the Crusader is the only worthwhile mobile attacker in the early game. and it sets us up for Mike's if we need it.

kassiopeia -- The rabble call for a city planning poll!!

Not to worry, Mike's Chapel is more important to me in this game. I love to build a SSC, but that is usually with a small civ. We seem to be bound for wide expansion in this game...

(BTW, "devil's advocate" means arguing in favor of a position one does not necessarily agree with.)

I still think we want to go after Copernicus' Observatory, but obviously no-one agrees with me.

The value of Mike's will increase as we build more cities, and it appears we will be doing that soon with some of the wandering settlers.

[Scouse Gits]

Polytheism for my money. This leads to Monotheism, which keeps all options open. Mike's for a peaceful Republic - or Vet Crusaders if things turn nasty.

No, wrong, I think everybody agrees with you. It's just that the timing is not the better one! We are expanding fast, and cities are already revolting because we have too many of them! This is the Deity level, not chieftain!

CO will be built latter.

I voted Polytheism, as most of our esteemed citizenry has. It serves for military purposes (Polytheism - Elephants, Monotheism - knights IIRC) and happiness levels.

[Gramphos]

So, then it's settled. We go for Polytheism after Masonry.
