Hu?

Should I include a path for Inventions in our next research poll?
That would be something like
Horseback Riding - Masonry - Writing - Literacy - (Currency) - Construction - The Wheel - Engineering - Invention

3 differnet paths, I suggest that you vote for any of them
(Horseback Riding - The Wheel, Masonry - (Currency) - Construction or Writing - Literacy)

Don't you think we're a leetle too small to commit public spending on a wonder of that magnitude? Why if this were a democracy then the people would be up in arms. As it's a Despotism then I personally, as a minor dignitary, will do all the string-pulling I can to ensure our people are defended with Pikes first. Which basically means I vote for them. Oh the power.

Ah, but the caravans enter the scene with trade. Then wonders are a cinch to build! Especially if we have a few more cities on our continent dedicated to camel breeding...

So if we compile all this there are 4 units that are quite important and will make us a lot stronger:
-camel(trade) so we can get tradebenifits and wonderbuilding
-Diplo what's better then a nice diplo in every city as defence against barbs or as bringers of enlightenment for foreign troops(read conversion)
-horses so we can explore at higher speed
-pikemen??(defence... I have never used these...what's their use actually??... )

Well, in really later polls, yes, sure.

Actually, defense is multiplied by 1.5 versus units with move=2, hp=1, fp=1. Elephants, chariots, horsemen, knights, and that's all.

Well, I just read what it said in the Civilopedia. I almost never use them either.

Re pikemen ability: Seems to work against howitzers. Though I have no idea why any sane player would have pikemen in the modern age...

No good at all... As long as the one's with some sense can b*tch too. (Do I really need to censor that? Where in the world is the verb "b*tch" considered rude?)

THIS THREAD ...
This is for later polls, but I wanted say what I think is the most important ancient/medieval tech with it we will be great! It is the second most important tech in the game, the most important being Mobile warfare!


WE MUST GET INVENTIONS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
