Pre-Turn
increase lux to 20%, MM properly, we only need 1 scientist, but we could use more civil engineers
1. 720AD
move towards Dallas
rush some stuff again, especially settlers

3 units themselves
2.730AD
found Koala
redline 2 infantry and capture Dallas, take out pop 1city Kazan
found Furstadt to connect to the front, liberate Denver
IT Babs and Russia sign peace, Russians run around like headless chicken
3. 740AD
build an embassy with Japan, building wall Street
we might want to seal espionage from them
Buffulo is the next target and easily taken
the east is more or less clear, but access to the west might be slower
found 3 cities, we are currently over the unit support limit anyway
IT Egypt and Russia sign peace as well
4. 750AD
slow advance, found another city
rush factory in our capital
IT Russia and Persia are nicely exchanging units
5. 760AD
take out Detroit
IT babil deposes us and joins Persia, no good
6. 770AD
abandon Detroit as the flip risk is too high, found a city nearby so we can attack next city
Abydos has 8 infantry, but we manage to take the city with a mere loss of 1 Cav
IT more and more Russian infantry shows up,
7. 780AD
abandon Abydos and found a new city
attack, take and abandon Orenburg, claims some territory that Egypt left behind
enough is enough for now, get 760gold for peace
get sanitation from Japan for 3600 gold, sell it to Persia for 3250gold
8. 790AD
we simply can't get any tech even for a lot of money
get democracy and free artistry and some small change from Mongols for a tech
give medicine to Egypt for some gpt and 50gold, we can always fight them if we want
go for a safe steal and get steel from Persia
sell this to japan for all our money we gave them (3443gold) and get espionage to boot
it costs us a bomb but manage to get refining for 3600gold and steel from Russia
just realize that Persia has airports already...how nice is that?
of course we also have no oil
as Egypt does have a city with access to oil, declare on them. Take Buto and Pi-Rameses, Heliopolis, El Amarna and Asyut, Egypt is down to 2 cities
rush quite a few settlers, we are on a min run to combustion
9. 800AD
capital finishes coal plant and starts on IA
take Hieranconpolis and Huanuco Pampa and Egypt is gone
found a city to fill some space
upgrade a few captured cannons, some settlers are brought to spots to settler
artillery is next to capital
stop here as it is the right # of turns
we need to decide what we are going to do
Persia is obviously running away with techs and money and have a lot of units around, luckily they fight a lot as well. They might be too strong to be taken out
So, what are we going to do next?
Do we steal techs with spies (IA don in 7). Do we fight more?
