    One point though, while this strategy will work in SP, in MP it will take you to an early and quick death.

    Cope's and Ike's cost as many shields as ST and Leo's

      Colossus - increases arrow production
      Shake's - allows explosive growth
      Cope's - more science
      Ike's - even more science
      What about King Rick's?

        Most often your caravans can be put to far better use.

          It doesn't last long enough for the expenditure in shields to build it, to be outweighed by the extra shields it produces, IMO.

          There's a time value of shields problem here

            Plus KRC has zero gain in terms of science or trade -- which is what the SSC is about

              Yes, due to the very early expiration, I can't remember the last time I built KRC, if ever.

                I used to build it a long time ago, around when the game came out, to support democratic wars in a power democracy. But I haven't built it in a few years.

                  Yes, the Sheake's/KRC combo is good in bribewars for keeping a decent size navy, other then that I never build it.

                      We would have thought that you needed to be more pissed than we are to make that error!!!

                        extra shield, extra trade, close enough.
                        I've had very little sleep the last few days, and it seems to be going to my head.
