  • Adjust the science rate

    At the request of the president... The issue has again arisen whether or not to keep the science rate as is or completely abolish it in favor of gold for rush building. The end of the game is aproaching and many feel that no useful technologies can be discovered before the end. The science rate is currently at: 70% discoveries every 4 turns with 206 income and 47 cost of maintanance.
    science 60% tax40%4 turns 270 gold
    science50% tax50%5 turns 351 gold
    science40% tax60%6 turns 409 gold
    science30% tax70%8 turns 479 gold
    science20% tax 80% 10 turns 536 gold
    science10% lux 10% tax 80% 17 turns 540 gold
    science0% lux20% tax80% 42 turns 536 gold

    there's been discussion going on in this thread about it. http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=54553

    I suggest that we at least reduce the science rate down to 60% because we would still be making discoveries every four turns and still getting more gold

    so please vote on whether or not to make my posistion in the government useless

    The city planner should take note, that if science is significantly reduced or zeroed, all science improvements should also be sold for a quick shot of gold into the nation's account. While we have no universities, we have many libraries which would give us $80 each if sold.

    There is a max of five days to vote however I imagine the President will wish to know sooner than that. Vote early and vote as often as you can!

          I think we should drop the science rate down to 20%. We'd still get a tech or two at a cost of only 4 gold per turn. And if we convert our Scientists in the cities to productive workers, we can increase trade, shields, and food even more.
          And the gold goes up to 561 per turn.

          Vote for 20%!

            We should lower it; it will all be over soon enough...

            20% sounds like a good rate.

              yayks...And I felt evil when going for 30% ...

              Just don't put it at zero, that would be a mistake.
              (btw are we still going to do some trade next session(s)?? they can also give our science some boost)

                We need to get technology at the same rate, but we need more gold so I vote and advise us to go to lower the rate to 60%!

                  We need no more techs, just more gold.

                          Well spoken, 123john. Ambition!!!

                          We are at the point where we will soon have eliminated the last civ with even Gunpowder, and science will be for very little, especially since we need a few techs for new units/improvements of any consequence.

                          However, we may need a fair few turns to take down the large Carthaginians (Blitzkrieg unfortunately not possible without the faraway Armor ), so maybe there will be time to get a few new techs. But once again, I doubt they will help us.
