Once again I'm playing France. I'm in 3rd right now, but I'm guessing that will change shortly. It's 1430. I've gotten beaten on several cultural wonders which is why I'm in 3rd.
My wonders: Pyramids, Sun-Tzu's Art of War, Sistine Chapel. I gave up on Copernicus, JS Bach's Cathedral; lost out on the rest.
Under construction: Smiths Trading Company (28 turns), Wall Street (15 turns).
Saltpeter was lacking, but I found some, and dropped 7 cities over on that continent. I'm racing the Babylonians for the wine and should win that since they have a long overland route (16 turns), and my Caravels will be arriving very shortly (6 turns).
Once Wall Street is built, I'll really beef up the military and start some conquests. I've got banks in 8 cities and being built in 7 more. By the time Wall Street arrives, the harbor for the saltpeter will be ready and I can convert my pikemen to Musketeers.
