OFFICIAL: What Civilization Advance Shall We Research Next?

[The Thing]

I vote for IRON WORKING
It is important to know the location of the IRON resource so we can plan our expansion and get there before the AI gets it. I am sure we can find some iron if we explore more. Maybe we are lucky and we find it on the Mountain near Thebes. Or on the mountains near the french city.

Knowing there's iron in those mountains will be useless...by the time we stop the french so we can get it (if they haven't already) we'll doubtless have iron working, but we won't need it as much for now.

If the mountain north of Banana HQ has iron (unlikely, yes, but...), then Iron Working would turn out to be VERY useful.

Iron Working is most likely what the French are researching now, so we should trade for it later. And beides, the french will control the Iron most likely, look at their mountains.

we control what they control.

[Kingof the Apes]

Exactly. Thats why we shouldnt bother to research it.

Personally, I don't care on this issue. Right now, we've gotten past the important tech-junction of Warrior Code and Bronze Working, so many paths lay open to us. I just don't have a preference, though finding out a source of iron would be useful. And being able to build boats is always cool.
