Which tech are we currently researching?

Mathematics. I noticed that the Science Slider has jumped to 100% again. I think it is better to wait a little while and put it on 0% for now.

Note: this can also be seen in the thread 'Trades'.

Re-correction: back down to 0% science. GoW researching Math (3 turns + however many for math), Vox researching Mysticism (24 turns), and Roleplay researching Writing (~10 turns), means that any research we do would be wasted, since those are our only research options.

Back down to 0 Science, not to 0 Gold.

Woops... guess that's what happens when I type too much without thinking about what I'm typing.

In games I prefer to have at least the minimum amount of research points, so techs will take 40 turns whatever happens.
Maybe for safety we should put the tech slider to 10% if we can get a bit of science going.

We might be betrayed by GoW or anyone, and I doubt it will harm our gold output really.

I'd definitely do some research if we have to wait for 6 or more turns before trading.

MP games are a bit different as you don't get money off tech trades if you are already researching something, unless someone feels sorry for you that you've already have researched something. But I still hope we don't adopt a 0% sci policytoo often, though I do love to have a big bank account (or big hut of sheep and gems etc)

All we do now is see whether our IW - HBR deal will hold (in 5 turns), and negotiate with GoW that they will research Maths. If they will, we can keep Science to 0%. If they will not, we should research it ourselves.
