First of all we should try to avoid missing out on the compensation that Kuche owes us. Their request for chivalry makes sense now that we know they are China, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they are planning an invasion, only that they could. So we should at least build deterrents for...

The airfields were to get the workers to Aztec lands for railroading to speed up our rampage.

Huzzah! Good game everyone! My favourite part was the bloody rampage at the end with the aim of winning maybe a couple of turns early. And it seemed that my economic stimulus package to build airfields in Greece did the trick, we finished with a 95% approval rating.

Well, if you think that the Amazons will support us against CDZ, then I say go for it. But we'll have to get out from under them at some point, and I think giving up espy is just giving up too much.

I think we need to get from under Amazon's heel, so I would say absolutely not to their request for no espionage against them. If you are confident that we can get one or both wonders on our own, why did you ask them? I don't want to owe them a favour (no big deal though). We can send a...

We need to accept this but be able to break it covertly if necessary- we're so far behind a surprise nuke could be our best option. I agree with lobbying to keep fission as a valid tech path- we can use the fact they have espy on us as a way of verifying our honesty (though we intend to fix that).

Oh well, it'll make it more interesting.

Ok, we've shaved off one turn due to Constantinople's older culture buildings aging- we are now at 145 per turn, victory in 20 turns. We got computers as our free tech, I leave it to the next player to decide whether to finish Battlefield Medicine or go for SETI right away to try and finish one...

Ok I've looked at the save now, we're in the endgame now, so I would like some input before playing. We're looking at victory in 31 turns, so with the Greeks out of the way I want to focus on maximizing score. The only things that count for score are territory and non-angry population. The...

I just got internet here, you're doing fine I think, we shouldn't have to worry too much about culture if we have assurances from CDZ and a decent military. What's the slider at? We should be at max science, but I think it would be prudent to put 10 or 20 percent towards espionage, if Amazon's...

After those aqueducts we'll want harbor + Dromons in at least one of those cities, we're going to need adequate transport for those settlers since the continet is close to being filled out.

Got it, won't be playing by friday when I get internet.

Yes, we can accept their offer and say thank you. They'll profit from spreading it, so they can do so when they wish,

I'm wrong??! I'm never wrong! Good thing no one took me up on that bet. But now I think we can deduce Kuche's civilization, since we know they are not: Industrious (thanks to Chamnix's demographic analysis in the early game), Religious (unless they went into double anarchy for the sole purpose...

YES! Hoplites vs. Numidian Mercenaries should mean a rather slow war. No need to rush to MDI's. As for money, I think Chamnix said that we don't need any to finish construction faster, they could probably use their money better towards researching currency. (Or do they already have it?)
