Well, I'm able to play this morning, so let's figure out any final adjustments. I'm going to do a quick test to see if making HC a AP member changes anything. EDIT: No, it doesn't help.
Otherwise, I like the idea of speeding up the GP, and doing this with Lagos 3S.

Okay, I'll play into the next turn, see if Shaka dies or not.
Btw, another missed opportunity: It appears from my testing that AP membership does not introduce civs, resolution votes however do.

Mr. Kurtz, he dead. HC will vassalize. Hammi traded us MC. What's next?
Well, you shouldn't have traded, but took it for free from Hammi.
I would vassalize HC and trade philo from Joao now.

I figured something like that, but too many times I've received an offer that was no longer acceptable after the IBT, so I wasn't taking any chances.

Will we get more negmods with Joao and will he still trade? I assume you've taken that into account, right?
Anyone else planning to chime in? Or should I just continue on?
It's unlikely that we take more neg. with Joao. Vassal "-" points depend on power and HC doesn't contribute much.
Anyway we could afford a few negs with Joao.
I vote for HC as peaceful vassal since then we can direct his research.

Okay, playing on.
You could have renegotiated even IBT. No chance taking in that.
Also at least you could look who was the one who got MC, by looking on the diplomacy tab.

We have spices from HC, so the spices settlement is lower priority. Should we settle Vienna next instead? It could be on the grass with copper and five levee tiles or on the plains with 7 levee tiles, but no copper.
Morocco is nice. LC - will you play more?
The save, LC! Where's the freekin save!?!?!?

Turnset complete. No additional surprises. We have 8t more GA. I researched Nationalism in the last turn. HG will be done next turn, Taj will require another 5t at most. Joao has Guilds and will trade.
I dropped a SoD next to Hun and he immediately suicided 14 swords. Mop up ZPV...
Guys, that was a fun turnset. Thanks for all your help!
These 8t turnsets are challenging. So much to do, not much time to do it.

LC, that was Majestic! Intense!! Time to start the tech race 
GA ages are accumulative, yes? So Taj will add the turns to the end of the previous golden age? I wonder if we can run GA for the rest of the game?

I tested to optimize for research by running merchants, and we can run 976 bpt at 60% research @ +1gpt. That means we get Constitution in two turns, Economics on T130, Corporation on T131, AL on T135!!!
And with a merchant mission, we can run 1500 bpt which gives us Electricity on T138, Industrialism on T141, and Rocketry on T144. Apollo next => enter space race
