Unit Poll on Best Technology

My standard strategy is to bypass nationalism and go straight for infantry.

Then I pump out tons of infantry, a few artillery and march on my enemies cities. Normally they've just got nationalism and upgraded to riflemen. Let me assure you riflemen don't look so good when they are ripped into by artillery and swarms of good-for-every-occasion infantry.

funny thing is that after doing this I get nationalism in the armistace agreement that follows

Without question: Writing. If you want it more primitive, I could say Alphabet. Just look at the tech tree in the aerly ages and see all the possibilities the discovery of writing opens to research. By that time you wont earn a lot of money by selling them, but as not all the civs know each other, you can make some by selling the discovery many times. Writing opens the possibility of written agreements, etc.

Well, as has already been said Iron Working is great if your are going on a conquest near the start of the game, otherwise I love Steampower. Mmmm so much movement...

nukes can be fun

Only problem is that there is no way to create a unit that cleans up pollution. If any Fixaris people want to take this up and create an ability like in Civ 2 to clean up pollution after it has happened, they are most welcome. Another feature, I would like if Fixaris are still messing with the game's mechanics is the ability to have units that when you have the pre-requisite technologies you can build different versions of the same unit. Ie. with rocketry you can build the conventional rocket launcher, with nuclear fusion, by getting the ability to produce a nuclear weapon, you get the ability to make a nuclear rocket version, and maybe with refrigeration, and precision-targeting biological agents.

Electronics. That's what gets you Hoover Dams right?

I reckon that would be cool having the ability to create the same unit but different each time. Anyway I would also like the ability to give units a different stealth value because it seems strange that old age subs can remain as cloaked as modern subs. Anyway Healz.

That would be good for partizans. Moving by without being noticed.

Crazyness of Current Stealth in Civ

But doesn't anyone else find it crazy that you can a modern sub just as well cloaked as a WWII one in a modern environment when the WWII ones were built with a different set of technologies in mind.
