I think It would be a good Idea of spending a few extra coins In Increasing our research. Research Is our lifeblood and would be financially good for the future especially when other Civs would like to pay 13+ just for a single piece of Technology! I say Increase the funding!

Godking has a good point but If we do end our war with France In the future, they may demand quite a hefty fee where as If we had more Technology then them, we have a better chance of coming to a peacful terms due to France will want our Technology.

If the French have Allies, It could get dangerous for us. We need Technology aswell to upgrade our military and If we did Increase the budget, we could have a very strong army which would make us stronger then the others. Also when we need resources, we have to keep up In Technology so we know where they are so we can reach them before our rivals do. I am only asking for a 10% Increase.

Well the other reason like I mentoined before Is resources. If we get those resources before our oppoments, the better we will be. We need Technology to be able to do this.

Exactly! I say that we need that money to be put Into Science!

I didn't say 100%, I was thinking more 60% or 70%. Even If we had the same number of turns, we would have less turns when we reach our next research. We could also build Libaries slowy over time which would save gold.

For right now, this is def. the best way to go -- at least until the war with France. I actually tried upping science funding just to see what it would happen (since I didn't actually do it or end the turn, I'm pretty sure that's not counted as playing ahead -- not to rekindle the debate here, but the President could also do it and tell the numbers to the rest of us, and it's not like I changed anything, so...) and didn't get any worthwhile result as to discovery times. That will probably change in the near future as our nation becomes more developed, and then I'd def. support higher science funding.
I'm pretty sure the test I did above is totally ok, and I def. think it should be allowed, but since I'm having a ping of "maybe not"s right now, if anyone feels very strongly that I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll edit this post removing the information until I've checked the other stuff about this and asked around a bit.
Just my two bits...

Just checking on that -- I thought it was, but wanted to cover my bases  . Thanks for the confirmation though.

I agree. As soon as the war with France is done, we should take America out of the game so no one else does (even if it means building new offensive units). We should then go into a period of economic and cultural expansion -- our cities are atrociously undeveloped. Maybe get a wonder or two, etc etc... if we do that, and if we're building up military all the while, we could streamline our civ for science, and then shoot for calvery, going to war basically as soon as we've got enough...

We have 8 swords. Plus at home we have 2 or 3 warriors close to the front that can be upgraded shortly and sent in as backup (surprised Uber isn't already doing that). The 5 archers are week attackers (only a 2) to the 2 defence of the spearmen. The AI will probably have 2 spears in each city we are likely to attack. It will also poprush.
Looking at the odds - I say the swords should take paris quickly. Loosing perhaps one or two of their numbers. Then we loose another for garrison as we march on to the next target. take that and loose 2 more and more to garrison.
The archers I give odds that they will take their first target, but with very high casualties. 2 or 3 dead, 1 wounded. There is only one spearman ready to move with the archers, unless we leave timeline undefended.
Tass has a newly built spear, but it would be better if we fortified it, upgraded the warrior in tass, and send the new sword in as reserve.
I personally hope we can also gain more than 4 cities and some gold. hopefully we gain Paris, Chartres, Orleans, Rouen, Rheims & Marseilles. Both Marseilles and Paris are needed for the wine. Orleans has horses, so do not count on it in negotiations.
All cities but Rouen have a pop of 2 or more - thus allowing poprushing. They do have iron, so bewair the enemy swords. Taking paris will not cut off their supply of iron (although taking marseilles as well will significantly stop the majority of cities from it).
We do not have a quick and easy fight as we did against the americans. I doubt that our army will be in any form to attack for many turns after the war against france.
