Skills in the game

From a practical point of view, you should always take the Logistics skill. But theoretically, there might be situations where taking Logistics early will prevent you from getting the Earth skill.

In one of the recent games, I decided to forgo the basic Logistics skill in favor of the Expert Water skill. Earth isn't the greatest skill either, by the way. In The Eastern Era, people often don't take Earth. And what about Logistics? Expert Logistics gives 600 movement points when maxed out. Over 4 days, that accumulates to 2400 movement points! That's an extra day of movement with a stable! I think that speaks for itself.
