Ok, heres my 5th set.
turn 180.
Rio starts Porcelain Tower. It celebrates a brand new public school mysteriously appears in the city. Research rate goes to 304, nice one!
Spy went to Kathmandu, both spies are on rigging religious CS now.
turn 181.
We're friends with Ife, surprisingly we havent pledged it earlier. Pledged to protect it, 91 influence more to overcome Suleiman there.
Zanzibar wants porcelain, good news! Road quest with them will get completed very soon.
Dyes for copper deal with Napoleon renewed.
Silver for 3 horses/ob/3 gpt deal with Pacal renewed. We need more happiness now!
IBT Wu came to swap open borders. We decline. Probably should sell it for gpt.
turn 182.
WC came. We voted for Art funding, China as host got 2 delegates, Maria got 3.
We got new social policy - Sovereignty. Our strengths are gold per turn value and friendly relations, we already got 2 RA @t204, next stop can be Scientific revolution. I don't know if scholasticism worth it when we cant compete with runaways on allying city states. We can afford more RA so it will be plain profit to get SR.
turn 183.
Arts funding passed, Natural heritage sites failed (phew!).
We sold ob to both Suleiman and Wu. If Wu plan to attack us we better get some cash from her before.
turn 184.
Napoleon hits #1 military. Cool!
Our troops went on the lonely island training camp. Unless someone comes there, we can get experience there.
turn 185.
Zanzibar got their road to our capital!
We got a great artist in Rio. As Optional mentioned, Sistine bonus is the key.
We r doing 8 tourism per turn, while Sully got 24 tpt, Pacal got 12 and Napoleon is at 8 too.
turn 186.
We got electricity!
And some aluminum near Salvador! And some more close to Sao Paolo. The city will get it in 1 turn
Industrialization is next big thing, hope we get some coal as well.
A caravan from Salvador to Rio now brings production as someone mentioned earlier. Food is an issue there though if we lose more wonders to others it might be the ghost story about Brazil.
turn 187.
Catherine is back with 8gpt. Swapped embassies, sold her ob for 1gpt. Ok, old new market partner is back
Oxford is up and running! We need 2 great work of writing from other civs and different eras. Ive swapped one with Wu, though I do not use our GW to bulb another work in case we need flat culture from him. Feel free to bulb GW into great work of writing and swap it to get Oxford bonus.
I think its worth it since next artist will come out in 20 turns, next great writing - in 26 turns. But if we need a crucial social policy - we better bulb GW for culture.
Modern era/Radio is up, Sully is still in industrial, others in Renaissance.
Our new spy, Pascoal went to Vatican. We are no longer friends so some rigging is worth doing there.
turn 188.
Alex is massing units near our borders. He also got both Hong Kong and Ur allied so it can be a huge mess if he declare us.
Plus our trade routes to China is nearby, so we are risking a huge amount of hammers/gold now.
Guys, this issue must be addressed with all caution!
One option I can provide is buying great prophet for 4+ CS quests including Ur, Hong Kong and Vatican. We can then bring back lots of fpt lost due Sao Paolo became buddhist city. Atm we got enough fpt, Ill let you make such a decision or bring another.
WC's special session has started. Alex got 8 delegates, only Maria can compete with our help. We voted for her.
Austria and Ottomans has made RA. Russia denounced Suleiman. What a fail, he just liberated her!
Wu denounced Pacal, guess he will suffer soon.
We are first to choose tenets, Freedom tenets as we need both additional 25% great people rate and more food from specialists. CS rigging is also cool though Brazil has brilliant potential with gpp rate modifiers that can provide large profits.
Speaking of which, its now 10 turns before great engineer!
turn 189.
Alex got WC host. Maria and Alex both got 8 votes, dont know why not Maria...
Chinese spy has stolen Acoustics, we let it slide this time for diplomatic bonus.
