Citizens of Fanatica! A grand and glorious age is drawing near! The Hoover Dam, both exalted and ridiculed in our press is over 50% complete! It's construction represents the effort of thousands of citizens throughout our land working to make it possible. The electricity it produces will power ALL our cities for the foreseable future!
And so, we draw nearer and nearer to what is being deemed "The Modern Age". We will have a great many options presented to us, especially with new wonders! I want to start planning NOW for that age, and prepare several cities for these wonders.
We will learn Refining in 2 turn. Assuming we continue at a pace of 8 turns per tech, and research only required techs, we will enter the Modern Age in under 50 years. Of the 4 entry techs, two of them grant wonders. These wonders are the SETI Project (+50% science in that city) Manhatten Project (All countries can make Nuclear Weapons) and The United Nations. Personally, I could care less about the Manhatten Project. Let the AI build it - it's only 2 culture per turn and we will get the same benefit.
The UN and SETI Program though, Fanatica should be the builder. The UN is the most important to prevent an untimely end to the game. The SETI project represents a 50% increase in science output for that cities. A nice boost in research, allowing us to keep more of our income.
I want to identify the sites for the UN and SETI within a week. We will then focus on improving those two cities. developing their production capacity and infrastructure. If we start now, we have the time to do this right. We can upgrade these cities without large cash rushes.
As the last few wonders have been completed in Capitoline, I would like to see at least one, and would love to see both wonders completed outside of Capitoline - let us share the benefits of these national projects to all our provinces! If we can find the sites, all three wonders would be great!
Both the UN and the SETI Program are 1000 shield wonders. We need to identify cities with the potential for large populations, high shield production and low to moderate corruption. These cities will need to have Courthouses, Marketplaces, Cathedrals, Factories, Aquaducts and Hospitals.
Let's find those cities, and start the process now!
