Nice summary Undecided. The disadvantages are not that bad, if bad at all, me think.
I think we should use the old Oracle>MC>chop a forge to get a GE gambit. MEanwhile claim friends and chose an enemy. We need to found a city near this enemy (hope for izzy). Build the AP in that city. AP declare on this enemy. Once that AI is the owner of UN (You mean AP!?) and we have the most Votes and at least 1 Friend, the game is over. Been there done that.
I like the idea!
Can we do both: Bulb Theology with GPro and have a GE for AP?
This could fail if one AI on another continent is isolated behind mountains where our missionaries can't reach them, and we would need Astronomy to be able to capture a city to give to that AI. What else could go wrong?
Note we have 8 AI opponents
