[OT: I lied, one more comment about the name . Bohemian comes from French Bohemien, which (according to our good friend Wikipedia) was the name given to gypsies by the French because they (the gypsies) said that they came from Bohemia, which I think was a kingdom back then. I am aware that the Czech Republic is larger than Bohemia, one of my good friends is Moravian so she is quite sensitive about the issue . I just figured that it would be a bit like Holland / The Netherlands, where the former is also just a former county in the latter, but internationally seen as synonymous... Anyway... Screaming orange pumpkins it is, then?]
O, and happy queen's day!
Yeah just read that in the RR15 thread. I think that bulbing + trading should do fine until early modern times. We will have enough money to go around so expansion should be no problem. After early modern it will become tough to tech without building research as there won't be a lot of advanced AI's to trade with and the techs will become prohibititevly expensive. So... we should probably try to finish the game soon after bulbing becomes unattractive, e.g. with Cuirassiers as end game unit at the latest. Since victory is earliest date that seems like a good idea anyway, but it does depend on settings (continents will be difficult to finish off before astronomy...)No research building by the way
