good turns, LK ~ w/o looking at the save, doesn't one of our cities have a 3 food sources?? this one should be the draft farm, esp once we hit the Ind Age and can't run 7 scientists or whatever.
Remember, too, Berlin has good tons of food, but I don't think I want the capital as the draft center.
while the extra specialist would be nice from teh statue, i don't think we need it. At this point, I think Quotey's got it: beeline to AssLine seems about right. I was thinking of this rule modification so we don't have to check every tech along the way. IF we are beelining directly to AssLine, BUT one of the techs along the way pops us into the Ind era, as long as we're proceeding directly to AL, we don't need to convert.
Steel can NOT be finished yet, but if Sci Method bumps us up, as long as we keep going, we don't need to convert. Basically, the aim of the rule is to convert from heavy science to all-out production/military powerhouse like Germany of the industrial/modern era.
I've got the save, and will see what's up with the tech path from here, and look for a suitable drafting post.
But we have to put a eye in toku: he has the AP seat granted and if he vassals AC ( not likely soon, but if he is doing damage to AC without gunpowder, imagine after 
) we'll have a bumpy ride.
... that alone justifies it vs FS ( that only gives the 
bonus for us )
I know Mystyfly said to skip him, but I don't recall Pholkhero doing so.can he build more than 3 missionaries at once?!
