	Science, Tax, Lux Rate: In the begining Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Currently the tax/science/lux rate is at: 50/40/10
that yields 1 income and a new tech every 12 turns

clearly this situation will change when the city planner is able to do some work.

Possible Distribution of our trade arrows (all 1 of them)
We can either throw lots into luxury, or leave the rate as is. all combinations so far yield no tech rate better than every 12 turns, and no more than 1 gold per turn. we could even put the luxury rate up at 50% and have tax at 10% and science at 40% and the result is no different than what we have now.


A poll is worthless, as this report nearly is, the situation will change rapidly as we build roads, cities or build inprovements.

EDIT: Would the city planner please submit a list of possible city names for our capitol? its current name is Melfort and I have no idea what the significance of that name is

How about we change the name to Saskapolytonia?

60 Science, 40 Tax, 0 Lux is the way to go for now!

As do I. If you want I can work up some more city names, but I personally think each cabinet member should get to submit a city name and we can then use those.

back on topic here, i think that the tax rate should be set as low as possible so that we still have a small profit, and the rest thrown into science, at least for now.

perhaps there's a little bit of bias there, science minister?

Speaking as a former science minister, I agree that science should be as high as possible while still making a profit.

Luxury is useless at this stay and tax is not very productive.
Go to the max science rate (Sc 60, Tax 40, Lux 0) !

JCP is right, zero Luxury and maximum science is the way to go

Hydey is right saying that JCP is right, agreeing with CannonFodder that we should be at 60-40-00 until Monarchy sets in.

There is no return for setting luxuries above 0% at this point. Leave that at zero, set science to 60%. Our first technology priority should be to get out of despotism!

science ministers report being sent in now: maximize science while still making a profit with the tax rate, no luxuries.

and the tech path ceremonial burial->alphabet->code of laws->monarchy (we may not actually get that far the next time the president plays, but just in case. i will of course poll again after the president sends me a new save file)

You won't get that tech path available, there will have to be another tech involved somewhere along the line so i suggest horses.

H Tower - theoretically it's a possible tech path, but the computer rarely gives you all the options you need in a row. There's bound to be a point where we gotta choose something else because (infuriantingly) the option we want isn't offered.

That's just the way it is.

There is ALWAYS a non-path tech required before Monarchy is offered. So planning what that tech will be is important.

I agree with Hydey that Horsies are a good choice, for movement (exploration) and attack. they're also cheap to build

we already have bronze working, will that suffice for the not path tech required?

Even with extra initial techs not on the Monarchy path, we'll still need to choose one other before monarchy is offered.
