I tend not to "beeline" as such, so I voted for that option (sacrilege?).

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

IndAuto first, and then as much as possible to get to Environmental Economics ASAP. Tree Farms=productive bases anywhere! If I have a tactic in my games, Tree Farms are it (apart from Gravships, but that's a different story ).

Times may change, of course, but in these generic times that's what I reckon we should do.....

I voted well rounded. Ethical Calculus is a must and it's not on here. I would have voted for Gene Splicing, but I want Ethical Calculus for Democrcy, not the later techs it gives. (Intellectual Integrity is great, but it requires the morally corrupt Doctrine: Loyalty).

I'm open to the possibility of beelining -- for example, I'd like to beeline to Eudaimonia at a future point. But for the moment I think it's too restrictive.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

I guess the definition of a bee-line would be the path to follow to research a more or less distant tech. Since we can research EthCal right away, it isn't a bee-line and doesn't need to be included in this poll.

I'm for well-rounded - since no one playing style is going to dominate in a democracy game there is no guarantee that the winning beeline will best suit the actual playing choices we make.


Just say no to beelines!

1. Industrial Automation.
2. Centauri Empathy.
3. Intellectual Integrity.

Should keep the tech votes away the rest of this term
