Okay, on with the show. The set had kind of discouraging results, but more on that later.
First of all I dialed up Louis for Mass media. He swung the deal, I figured it was best to give him some cash instead of another tech - he was 8 turns from reaching Industrialism himself.
UN peacekeeping was as effective as nowadays as the resolution on forcing peace with Inca failed. Slightly barbarian, but hey,
we didn't start the war...
Moreover some turns later we set all grievances over the matter right. Political power and the barrel of a gun, you know...
Then came a grave blunder in my set. I captured one of Monty's cities. The pic suggests I razed, as I should have. I wasn't aware of Monty's SoD being so near though, so I tried to keep it.
Back to the Incans. They all are gone now.
JC and ourselves didn't like Universal Suffrage. At least we aren't to blame this time.
And well, the usual Monty. Gazillions of outdated sh*t. I had some Tanks and Mech Inf in the city, but he took it no less. He lost about 10 Cannons only.
In the more important news I got both Robotics and Satellites during my set, but I never had a chance to start on the Space Elevator - Fred built it. I fear he's locked in for a Space Race victory now. We're #1 in GNP, prod, and every other important category, true - but he has a sizeable tech lead, the Internet, and prod enough. Will be tough.
