Next tech at 825 BC

If we have the production capacity to spare its more efficient to build the work boat in Beijing and sail it around the coast (exploring the small island off the western coast in the process). The new city can go directly to Lighthouse building and the combo of Fish/Wheat will boom the population rapidly making for a strong coastal "Whip the Sea" strategy. A library or forge would be the next two buildings.

We will want to start spreading the religion after the war as were going to need pacification and Priests + Temples will provide us with Priest slots which we should make heavy usage of, the Representation Priest has an excellently balanced output providing gold which can help offset our soon to be very high maintenance costs, hammers to expand our industry and research to keep us competitive despite a lower overall research allocation.

The turn will arrive shortly. Horde usually forwards the turns at 22 PM (well, in my timezone , which is 6.5 hours from now.

So, my vote is with the majority: Currency and then Code Of Laws.

I feel we should have Literature soon, as in before the ~30 turns needed to get Currency + CoL, its a quick little tech that open up a LOT of wonders we can build and build fast. But as noted they all want Marble which isn't hooked up yet so I'd recommend we go Currency -> Lit -> CoL.

We might also want to look at using CastSystem in the future to run more specialists and further cash in on the effects of the Pyramids.

We wont have marble yet by the time we finish currency, the soonest we can have it is 25 turns (finish settler, make another, go, put a missionary, wait for expansion) which is just right to finish Currency and CoL.

Why should we use Caste System if our main advantage is using our workers for high-hammer (industrious) and high-commerce (financial) squares?
