Sorry for the semi-mangled grammar, but I was trying to match "What technologies don't you need?" and make another point.
I've been proselytizing about gaining a tech lead in branches that the AI doesn't research, or at least prioritize.
It occurs to me that the best of all worlds is clearly when it's a tech that you want / need (I know, not quite the same as the other question, which was about progressing through the eras).
I can't for the life of me remember what techs are best for this purpose... my standard approach is just to NOT research whatever the science advisor suggests.
So here's the question:
What should you research that is both critical to your game, but that will probably be something that you can sell like mad?

I know that Music Theory is not necessarily critical, but I put a very high priority on Bach's, so...
