The Industrial Age

[dexters]

Dominae, I'd actually suggest you put the stuff into a word file. Something people can hold on to and just focus updating that.

Dominae, I noticed a blind spot in your thinking. You keep talking about prebuilding factories while waiting to research Industrialization, but what happened to the possibility of doing prebuilds for factories while beelining to Industrialization? Granted, there are times when a player is too busy with a war or some such, but it should often be practical. (Most of the time, my "prebuilds" for factories are strictly accidental; I get Industrialization and generally switch cities from whatever they happen to be working on at the time.)

I would say, leave your top thread the way it is, but edit in a line saying that this was the initial discussion with a link to a new thread. The new thread starts with your revised and updated, and it also has a link to this thread. That way, it is current and updated, but you leave the history intact in case if anybody wanted to look back and read all of this (say, once conquest comes out and perhaps there are enough changes to make another revision appropriate.)

Just an idea.

I rarely start prebuilds for factories, but I would not oppose the idea. I just have too many things to do at that stage. I will switch what ever is going on to factories, unless it is a critical build.
