The Compromise of 210 BC
Right now the vote is 16 for Lain and 10 for Eiri. Dora and the government techs have three votes each.
This is too close. Too many important people support both plans for them to be tossed aside. A compromise must be struck. We have until Wednesday 01:00 AM eastern time. That is the last time I will be able to be online before the next set of turns. This is urgent. All the input you can provide would be greatly appreciate. This will require the help of every prominent member of the forum. This is the most important decision in the game in weeks.
I have thought long and hard about this, after posting the original Area 25 thread. What I have to do is make the most people content. If I go ahead with Lain and later onto Dora, too many people will be upset and left out. They will be unhappy while others are happy. This could lead to a revolt. If we switch it Eiri, I believe enough people can be content if there is a compromise. I just don’t see us being rich enough to buy peace techs if we just focus on military ones.
Here is the plan:
Provision 1: Switch to Protocol Eiri. This means researching Theology and Education. There is little point in researching Theology without next going after Education so there should be no going back after Theology is chosen.
Provision 2: Buy Chivalry as soon as possible. Once another civilization has Chivalry, we will do whatever possible to get that technology as quickly as we can, especially if it looks like we are in danger. I want assurance from other ministers that money will be set-aside for this.
Provision 3: Go to war with America if it can be worked out. If it assured that we could win, we must go through with this. First, America has a lot of Saltpeter friendly land. Secondly, annexing America would leave us with enough room to expand. We will have all the cities we need for a while. I would like it is people like Uber and Aggie come up with a good plan for this.
Provision 4: Buy Gunpowder as quickly as possible. Engineering and Invention aren’t a must. Gunpowder is though. Musketmen can be used very effectively against Knights. With Saltpeter, we should be able to hold off any attack. I would like money set aside for this when the time is right two. We should be able to trade Eiri techs for these Dora techs. We may even be in a position to start research on Gunpowder after we get Education.
Provision 5: Keep a large defensive force. This includes a counterstrike force. I would like assurance that this will be built. If we don’t have knights for a while, some way to divert war and protect ourselves is needed.
That is what I have so far. I would like the ministers to agree on it. Don’t look out for your own interests. Look out for what is good for the civilization as a whole. I believe this plan is the best plan for the majority. There could be some more additions that would make it even better though.
