	Tech race summary Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I'm trying to make a table to summarize the techs owned by the various civs. It's a real headache to try to figure out who got what and how, so here's a first version of the table I made myself with the various informations I could find. The status of each tech (ie owned/not owned) should be 100% accurate (at least if we trust what Trip said about Lux's techs to Togas ), but the source are sometimes the result of some suppositions I made (in this case I added a '?').
Please comment, complete or correct

Nice table, Crousto.

Our ambassadors will have to work overtime to help fill in the missing pieces. I assume GS and Lego have completed research of at least one tech by now, if not more. Also, I believe ND has more.

Btw, I assume the Lego, Vox, and GS have more than 2 techs because of their scores.



Lego and Vox have 49, which ties with us. Of course this could mean any number of things, but at this early stage, it is relatively sound to speculate that they have as many techs as we do.

GS has 45, 1 point behind Lux. This would seem to indicate that they have as many techs as Lux does, but I don't think that Lux has as many as 6. By their slightly lower score I would guess 4 or 5. The are probably expecting more shortly, by research or trade, which would explain their words.

However, I temper my own words with caution, as this is my first MP Civ3 game. Can others here with more experience tell us more about early game scoring?

That's a great table, Señor Crousto. Just what is needed to keep up with the tech race

Good work! Now we have an overall picture of the techs. I see that you haven't yet filled in the techs from goodyhuts? I'm not sure if it is statistically right, but every time I begin a game, goodyhuts always give me pottery. Perhaps Lux and GoW have gained the tech by that way.
This will make the job of our ambassadors much easier

IIRC, Lux and GS do have less points on the score because they founded their capital in the second turn of the game (bad initial location)...

Really interesting.

Just a suggestion : would not it be practical (for the future), to have the teams in columns and the techs in lines ?

I've edited the link (moved the file to another webspace so we shouldn't get those evil popups anymore), and edited a bit the reliability of Lux Invicta's information... Trip lied to Togas by telling that they hadn't discovered Ceremonial Burial, and I can't understand why they didn't even try to offer us the wheel of iron working (that Trip pretended to have discovered) for alphabet. They seem to have a far less transparent policy than GoW and NeuDem.
I'll swap rows and columns too, it will indeed be much easier when there will be more techs.

Edited again with news from jdjdjd (Lux offers WC or Wheel)

How many turns are we from Writing? How close are the other teams to finishing Ironworking and Horseback Riding?

I will feel a lot more comfortable once we have gotten those two techs from the other teams as it will give us the ability to build an offense of our own should war be necessary.
