Tech Strategy: To Chivalry Increase Your PM Length

I'm posting this assuming we are interested in as-fast-as-reasonably-possible Chivalry. Post if you disagree with this idea. (Our UU is chivalrous.)

We have a few options here on how to do it 'fast'.



  1. We and BoH research Monotheism and Feudalism, and then the faster of us researches Chivalry, at the best speed without losing (much) money.
  2. Same as above, but once chivalry is underway, that civ goes to 100% (or max minus luxuries) and is compensated monetarily by the other civ (who goes to slow science).
  3. We agree with Babylon to trade Currency and Construction for their free tech, and hope it's Mono or Feudalism. Then, one nation develops the other tech + Chivalry while being paid by the other for the monetary deficit.


The third option is probably the fastest, but it gives Babylon a pretty good deal, especially if they're researching Republic or something else (giving them 2 free techs). Rhoth worked out that it's point-wise a roughly even deal (36 for 32 or 36), but points aren't everything.

I'd agree with either 2 or 3 - I think fastest possible with donations is the best way to go.

Thoughts? We have a few turns, but i'd like to at least approach beta soon ...

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I'm all for going all out to chivalry. Riders are among my favorite units in the game.

Another option is that I booted up the save again and discovered that we have literature and code of laws, which the Babs do not. That's 20 points as well. The Babs will get them one way or another. We just need to make sure that we're the ones getting profit for giving it to them.

I would think option 3 has the most potential personally. Why waste time researching something that someone already has if we can make a deal and get it from them for something they don't have. That's the essence of tech trading (among other things ). We help our allies and ourselves to become strong and eliminate the competition. Then we eliminate our allies.

Put an end to popups!

The faster we work towards chivalry the better. A deal for CoL and Lit sounds good to me too. BOH has a chivalry UU as well so they're probably interested in working towards it as fast as possible. At the moment they're supporting us with the free embassy to enable our proceedings on construction.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Okay - i'll talk to Beta tonight if possible about the possibility. Paddy is also thinking about it, and will get back to us - i'll tell him what the response is from Babylon, if they're interested or not ...
