The Econ minister should run polls to determine the next tech we research.

So Econ minister you need to see what will be available next, tell us what those techs do and then set up a poll.

Right now we're researching British Training.
Our next step must be Pioneer Spirit if we don't want to research Future Technology 1 :P Pioneer Spirit lets us build Kibutznick.

No need to say this poll is unnecessary

What about not researching anything and saving the money to build more units

?

I am really liking this idea at the moment.

POTUS · October 20, 2003, 13:29

I want my soldiers. Save money to buy them. NOW!!!

Thats what we are researching right now, look at the start game thread that Pinky put up.

Start of Game HERE!

I'm the one who buys the soldiers POTUS so it's me you have to suck up to if you want to get them.

We discussed this earlier, but I will elucidate for all. You are the only one who can choose what to build, and the econ minister is the only one who can decide what to rush. (The econ minister can only rush production on something the Defense Minister set, so Arthedrain cannot change production without EmuGod's permission).

So in reality, POTUS needs to suck up to both of you, as well as to El Awrence, who will decide where the reinforcements go. Isn't Democracy grand?

hi ,

then we would be stuck with old outdated units and have to withdraw to a couple cities for a last stand , ......

in other words ; " game over " , .....

the faster we research , the faster we get some serious troops like the IDF , .....

have a nice day

Dr. Nick · October 21, 2003, 10:22

The faster we research the less troops we have in the first turns, which are crucial. Money first, research later!

have a nice day

Ok here comes a question regarding my position as Economy Minister

Should I do what I want with the tax/scienze/luxury parameters or should I discuss this with someone?

hi ,

you can invest everything in your villa in Greece , but then you risk not to be elected next time , .....

well everyone is going to tell you that they need more money then the other department , ....

you are there to act and stop people from taking to much , .....

the best would be to poll and talk about things , but in the end what you say counts , .....

good luck

have a nice day

PinkyGen · October 21, 2003, 17:42

Good question. The call is yours, and if you wished, you could do it in a secretive, dictatorial faction. However, just because you can do that doesn't mean you should.

Form your own opinion of what the rates should be, but talk to the people who want science to be zero. They have good points, such as the need for improvements and military units now.

On the other hand, what do they say about the disadvantages.
No spies, no Palmach, no Kibbutz, and definetly no tanks and armored cars unless we buy them. If we go to essentially zero tech, how long should this last? How would we make up for these shortcomings down the line?

The call is yours, but by all means, discuss, and keep in mind people's opinions. If you feel the issue is of sufficient gravitas, then post a poll.

Panag · October 21, 2003, 17:49

hi ,

, maybe quickpolls could be done in certain cases , ....

have a nice day

Okay, IF we have 0% science we can still buy units BUT I really wants to hear peoples opinion. Science or Taxes? Anyone got any good arguments about luxury in this scen?

IF I decide to make a poll... should all of the users be able to vote or just knesset/ministers/president?
What do you all think?

hi ,

well most people keep one lux , that leaves 90% to be devided , now luckely for us we can get our science really fast done , we should try to get what we can ( the max ) before the brits leave , ..... after that its just money and money , ...

everyone should be able to vote

have a nice day

PinkyGen · October 22, 2003, 00:35

Check the cities and the hapiness situation to see if need any luxuries.

You can do the poll as you wish, but I would recommend allowing all to vote.

POTUS · October 22, 2003, 00:43

I say we need both money and science.
50-50 seems about good.

hi ,

what about 50/40/10 , .....

have a nice day

PinkyGen · October 30, 2003, 14:01

I've checked the latest Sinai save.

There are no unhappy people, yet, so it seems pointless to waste money on luxuries, so we are not going for any we Love the Prime Minister Day's. (Unless you think it would be a good idea to go for them).

I'm in favor of 60-40. 102 income, discovery eight turns. Raising the rate to 70-30 brings it to 116 income, discovery 10 turns. We only gain 14 more gold, but put science off for two more turns. The budget also already has 8,000 gold in it so far.

Arthedain · October 30, 2003, 16:40

After your report PinkyGen 60/40 seems best. Thanks!

hi ,

with such a large budget , could we not research faster , .....

the faster we have new elite units , the faster we can use the money to build our empire , ......

have a nice day

If I am allowed, I would like to point out that our infrastructure is in no way near the levels needed to make WLTPD economically viable.

PinkyGen · November 3, 2003, 19:43

You are allowed to point out anything you wish, and I consider your point well taken.
