At first, I was scratching my head -- Cult of Skaro had Eiffel due in 3 at handoff. The railyard from Transcontinental would have boosted the shields there, explaining the close shave. Hmm, the city was slated to grow on T1, and WLTKD would have ended during the T1->IBT->T2. That seems like...

For units, there are about 90 attackers fortified near Skaro. They can be committed to Britain as soon as we have places for them to attack. With current positions, Oxford can fall next turn and Cardiff can fall on Greebley's T3. With rail building (I think we can rail ~60 tiles per turn, we...

And here's the save:

Pre-turn: I made a bunch of little tweaks, shaving a turn off Factory or Gas Holder builds here and there. IBT: Korea bombards a few of our troops. They force a Cav to retreat and kill two more -- one with a Treb, one with an invisible unit. Turkey and France sign peace. 970 AD: eHussar...

I'm okay with sending cash to Turkey. We'll get it back one way or another :trouble:

I've got it. Looking at the save... T5, we learn Explosives* T6, we complete Crystal Palace and get Steel and Democracy as our free techs. OR, T5, Buy Democracy and learn explosives* T6, complete CP. Get Steel and Imperialism as our free techs. *In actual play, I'll slow down research so...

It'll be a bit before we get rails. In the meantime, the troops in Old Israel could go after the Mongols. On the western front, we could mass our troops and punch through Indochina to make it easier to get to Canada :trouble:

Yep, we have two sources. One is in the forest south of Skaro :lol: The other is down by Genesis of Evil (which also has Iron in the city radius!)

Ya, that stack in the West was the real MVP of my set :thumbsup:

Pre-turn: MM a bit for growth in a few cities, otherwise things look good. IBT: Priest of some sort kills an Enslaver in the desert. 2 Chariots die attacking our Hussars A third one runs over our Hussar Treb dies on our Hussar Invisible singer dies to our Hussar near Jerusalem Invisible...

I've got it.

O beautiful for halcyon skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the enameled plain! A Daleka, A Daleka! Davros shed his grace on thee, Till souls wax fair as earth and air And music-hearted sea!

Who is on the other side of the Aztecs? Maybe keep pushing on them? Alternatively -- we could send our troops towards the South Americans. Repositioning time there is a lot better than with the Australians.

Pre-turn: Looking around, Trenzalore looks good. Wasn't there some question about it? Hmm... Port Skaro can grow in 1 turn Kallaan gets another Scientist Mensvat Esc-Dalek switches tiles for growth, due in 1. Town Clock gets short-rushed, also due in 1. Satellite Five, like Johnny, needs...

HumanismDalekism just came in. I'm actually leaning towards researching Physics next, for the sake of research speed. Any arguments for/against? No one else knows Printing Press yet, so I'm not too worried about an AI getting to Free Artistry before us. Edit: I selected Physics on the...
