Science 1859

[ixnay]

As we move closer to our goal of space flight, the options get easier to follow. Last session we discovered Machine Tools & Espionage, & began work on Miniaturization. Here's the choices for what we can work on afterwards:

Fundamentalism
Genetic Engineering
Guerilla Warfare
Automobile
Radio
Refrigeration
Amphibious Warfare

The paths we need to follow for Space Flight:

Radio -> Adv. Flight -> Rocketry
Automobile -> Mass Production -> Computers
Computers + Rocketry -> Space Flight

if we're going to have to escort our transports now, might as well have battleships available. Also, we would then also be able to build superhighways for key cities. as all of our diplomats have now been upgraded to spies, and it appears the enemy is using the more advanced units as well now, Leo's will have run its course.

auto so we can use all of those oil caravans for something

[Ben Kenobi]

Automobile also increases trade bonuses with superhighways.

Also on path to Computers.

For long term, I vote:

Automobile - Mass Production - Computers.

Keep up the good work, Ixnay.

i second obiwans vote

Since we need both auto and radio anyway, auto seems to give immediate benefits.

I HATE BOTH TEAMS

What do you mean you hate both teams, I like both of them!

Oh, and back of topic, get Genetic Engineering for Cure for Cancer and Radio for airports!

John, it's wasting our time researching crap like CfC that's keeping us from the stars!

Let's stay on course, people!

Don't worry, Automobile seems to be firmly in the lead!

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Auto to build Superhighways... adding more cash and beakers!

And battleships are handy to have around as well

[ixnay]

I think it's pretty definitively going to be automobile that we go for...

agreed, now if only we could decide on a ministry of war plan

I'd think it looks fairly clear, at least initally - atm over 80% think the first step is to convert Kazam, then evaluate after that. And i'd venture the closeness of the 2 variations of that can be attributed to lack of initial explicit differences.
