This is an advantage because Code of Laws is a more expensive and very useful tech?

You mentioned the Civil Service Slingshot in your report, and I still don't quite know what that is. Could someone explain it to me?

Probably a stupid question, but we all have to learn.
You can also pop CS with a grear prophet if you have only researched certain techs. Basically the slingshot is just a way to enable the bueurocracy civic very early, and in a commerce happy capital is possibly overpowered.

No, CoL is just a nice steaping stone to CS. Civil Service is the nice expensive tech, but in this case not for the Macemen or chaining irrigation, but because when you have very few cities early in the game bonus for running beaurocracy can be huge.

Oops, I meant Civil Service. I always mix those two names up.

I just read the article. Wow! "Break the game" is right.

I guess I never pay attention to his editorials section, since it was empty for so long.
