New turn, cease fire De Gaulle. Didn't ask for Edu, we want to redeclare soon.
FP, UoS, GT done. Significant improvement to gpt shortage. Thanks coastal cities for growing!
Now look through cities and not much else to do this turn.
We have EP visibility on Lyons. LB, Axe, Archer. No settler.
Turn done. Going to play these pretty fast now. No uploads every turn.
Roose and Church were at war last turn, but already open borders. No cities connected though.
We are AP residents.
Let's go for time victory!
250AD - 43.88% pop and 27.97% land. Think we can reach target. More worried about pop in demos. Rival best went up to 334k. We are 3rd with 281k. These numbers can jump very rapidly. If roose were to grow Washington from pop 7 to pop 8 same turn we win, he gets >100k increase.... We can't be 100% safe here unless he whips something soon, or we'd have to grow at least a pop 7 city ourselves. But our value increases quite quickly, we'll see.
Quick pause to test EP cost.
I'll have EP for spy missions gathered already by 275AD. But I don't think we have enough stuff to win yet that turn. A lot of cities grow just in time for 325AD.
I sold him CoL last turn. Now only Music, Calendar, Philo and Compass available. Guess I could give Compass.
London also at pop 7 now, but hasn't been long. I doubt he would grow to pop 8. But should I gift him building techs still? MC, Optics, Currency?
AP-Without whips we would have 8 pop and AI total of 8 pop. We'd be at 66% = safe. If the AI whip 2 pop between turns we are still safe. 16/22 = 0,72. If they whip out 3 pop (Church could 2 pop FV), it's game over. We can't afford a turn of anarchy. Should I keep our Tao pop down at 7?
Health is no problem, we are doing very well there. Approval won't be problem either, I can save up some gold for culture slider.
275AD - Now it looks like it could have been possible to win 300AD. We are again first in pop demos, 358k vs 334k. Pop% 46.58, land% 28.09. Target was 47 and 30. We lose some, then gain some when capping De Gaulle. Unfortunately, I did not yet gift Legendary and microd EP to maximize gold for culture slider with 325AD victory in mind. In any case, I'm not sure if we would have dared ending game now. If even one Roosvelt city grows between turns, he could pass us in demos. I also have a bunch of border pops set up for 325 AD.
I'm gifting Legendary now. Next turn I gift the rest and take back.
GPT positive at 30% slider!!!
And we're about to gift 4 pop Hong Kong to De Gaulle. That's -48k in demos.

Can't end it now. Can declare now, take cities and cap him next turn. This was the timeline I had in mind for EP missions all the time, but somehow managed to miscalculate victory date in relation to EP missions. I should have gifted other cities last turn and declared. We weren't getting any trade route bonus on espionage mission, would have been same at war. Getting too tired for this...
