I can't even get to Military State. There's no way to research the tech. I had another revolution, and a tech I've been after for more than 50 turns already will now take me 81 more. I just abandoned the game. It's too bad, because it was otherwise shaping up reasonably well and competitive. But it's just too much to have to have a swordsman sitting on every single tile within my borders and that still not being enough to prevent losing dozens of improvements.
