If we want an early religion, I think we go for it straightaway.

The only question is Buddism or Hinduism. Setting up a poll thread now...

Lion is not visible.

Polytheism or Meditation? Poly is leading the poll, but that's one damn small sample size (2).

Demographics:

[Dominae]

If we are clearly in the Religion-race lead, I say Polytheism.

[notyoueither]

We have 24 hours.

This is the time to use it.

Okay it seems we got 7 beakers overflow. I'm stupid, shoulda remembered that setting sciecne to 0% would tell us how many beakers we need to research... and it says 136.

So uh... we should have been at 77 beakers, minus the 71, that would be 6 overflow... so we seem to have got an extra beaker, suggesting that Mysticism was ineed extra discounted on that last turn... but I need to run some tests on the validity of the 0% science method.

edit: w00t! I tested it in an AI-less testbed, where I just research Mysticism, and sure enough, polytheism showed 136 turns to go.

So we don't seem to have picked up an extra beaker in discount.

edit2: Hummm further testing suggestst that Mysticism always get researched at a flat 11 beakers/turn maybe because it's a starting tech.

edit3: further testing confirmed. We can gain no knowledge about whether or not other teams have Mysticism.

7-1 for polytheism now.
