Checked out the first post save.
To maintain the current deficit, but increases research, I switched into Caste System. Delhi is an excellent science city, so I built more Cottages and Farms. Next, I managed to get 6-8 Scientists running in Delhi after switching tiles to high food yield.
Used the Caravel to scout some more. Contacted Huayna and Alexander. Alex is Confucianism, Judaism and Christianity founder
mad:
). Christianity is his SR, and Huayna's is Judaism. Huayna's teching is better than Peter's. He's already at Banking and might have Rifles. We don't even have Gunpowder.
Boston and Washington became military cities. Rest became Cottage cities, with a few Watermills and Workshops thrown in.
Deleted extra units. That brought deficit from around -5 GPT to -2 GPT. Razed the northern barb city and fortified three fog busting Guerrilla I Longbows.
Finished building courthouses. Built FP in Jaipur (one of the Indian cities, at least), and when coupled with courthouses, dramatically increased gold output. Raised science slider to 60%.
So the situation looks like this to me: Tech to Rifling and MT, then mass Rifles and Cavalry to go after Tokugawa. Once that's over with, hunker down for a Domination. Space Race will be a longshot due to the teching of HC and Peter. The problem is Saladin and Peter have more power than we do. I suggest knocking out Tokugawa and Isabella first, then swooping in for the other two. This is going to be a long haul, boys.
