| Posted : Monday, 18 October 2004 - 12:14 Linner it is tax reform (as from a tech dependant on the market), not the tax tech as the one dependant on the castle.
It is impossible to have in the 1st turn. |

| Posted : Friday, 22 October 2004 - 07:49 Yes, but you can save on the market research, and the market, by executing a hostile takeover of someone else efforts, and once you have a market, you can do the tech upgrades.
Saving a few precious resources.

| Posted : Sunday, 24 October 2004 - 04:53 You would have to get that marketplace effectively 3/4 turns sooner than you'd buy commerce and get your market. If you can't assure you'll get it that quick - build your own |
