-Techs that can allow us to build Space parts are our top priority!
-Da Save.
 
I would just make peace with the Shaka now.
We got our Leader! Rush Apollo then we can start on SS parts
Being able to build HE or MA does us no good now and filling our Army with Tanks with MA so Close. (maybe MechINF for a good Defensevise Army but no one is going to crack our defense very well.)
I might build an Army when and if we Ever got MA.

As for China. He Done!!! No reason every to Worry about Mao again until he delcare War on us. Rome and Babylon are our new threat.

And you said it! A Tech thats does not lead to a SS part is pointless in wasting any cash for steals.
I might Sell Rockerty to Rome if Babylon has not done so yet. but it is an Iffy Call.

Good idea. There isn't really anything more to be gained from war with them.

We got our Leader! Rush Apollo then we can start on SS parts
First, we are going to need Space Flight.

Indeed, an army does us practically no good at all. We aren't doing much fighting.

As for China. He Done!!! No reason every to Worry about Mao again until he delcare War on us. Rome and Babylon are our new threat.
Yeah, although I still would like to be able to destroy Xinjian and Shanghai. If we are lucky, Babylon might do it for us!

And you said it! A Tech thats does not lead to a SS part is pointless in wasting any cash for steals.

So the only techs we need to complete the SS:
1. Ecology (currently being researched)
2. Space Flight
3. Synthetic Fibers
4. Satellites
5. Superconductor

Then we can set sci to zip and concentrate on building all the SS parts we haven't built by that point.
 
Got It, will play now but off to work in an hour. Will finish later tonight or sure.
 
Preturn
Check past techs for sale ops, France has no gpt to offer, Rome has Rocketry, China also has nothing to offer.
Trade Radio to Japan for Oil, WM, 42g, and 32gpt (all his gold)
Sign Peace with Zululand, he gives all his gold 46g and 11gpt
Research Space Flight at 100%, due in 10 at –27gpt
Bring the Leader to Bombay
We have 2 sources of Aluminum

IBT
We get a new source of Uranium :smug: , this seems to happen a lot more frequently in Vanilla.

8 – 1826 A.D.
Rome learns Space Flight
Check all trade ops, not many civs have any GPT at all, including Babylon.
Sell Radio to China for 67g and 18gpt
Rome would give us Space Flight, 2584g, and 133gpt for Nuclear Power but we get Space Flight in 2 turns anyway so no deal.
Shanghai was at 20 pop, now at 13

IBT
Babs Ironclads return to view.
China move a solo Infantry through our land… I allow it.

9 – 1828 A.D.
Turn science down a turn, Space due in 1

IBT
Hrmmm, China and Babs sign Peace THEN the polite Babylonians demand Nuclear Power! I decline and he sais

Babs_declares_war.JPG

5 Babylonian Ironclads bombard West Side roads and mines on the Gem tile.

10 – 1830 A.D.
Space Flight is in, set to Ecology in 9 turns at –23gpt
Buy Incense from Rome AND an alliance against Babs for 486g, they become gracious
Bombard and remove the 5 Babylonian ICs from our waters, only the Sub promotes.
Move the workers to the bombarded mountain and put 3 ME there for defense in case Babs pulls China in against us.

OK We could buy France into the alliance for Electronics and could buy Zulu into the war for Radio (He’s also give us Amphibious Warfare). Both can only offer minimal gold.
I also woke up the MGL but didn’t rush Apollo yet, it’s due in 5 turns anyway, do we want to rush it? I don’t see what good it’d do us really as we can’t build that many space parts atm. I’ll leave this for JJJ, he’s more seasoned than I.

If Appolo is 5 turns anyway, use the leader to build an army or use it to rush an SS part.
I personally think we should try to get everyone but China against Babylon to deter them from building SS parts. Also, we might be able to win by Diplo this way (Babylon is quite obviously our opponent).
 
Ok I got it.
Going to Give up Flight to Japan, Zulu and China so All are at War with Babylon. Otherwise there are going to do it to us. I will leave France out of it Since they will end up joining in soon enough by way of someone else. Plus this keeps Japan from jumping ship and us loosing our Oil need for SS parts. Thus the Leader is goingto Rush Apollo to start those part right-o-way.

Since the UN would be US vs. Babylon and everyone is at War with them. It might be good time for the UN Vote Now when it comes up. Thoughts???? Or are we bound and detemined to win by SS.
 
Either way, I don't care. Although Diplo would certainly be easier.
 
I think either way it is Won.
UN (not sure when the vote will occur in my 10 or the next 10.) But as long as Babylon is at War with everyone it is ours to win.
SS is a little bit longer another 20-30 I think also depends on the Steals.

I am leaning towards what ever is the Faster way. Which right now is the UN vote.
 
I'd take the Diplomatic victory, it'd be the quickest way and I like to be the worlds favorite 5 city civ :D .
 
Well that was Quick I didn't expect the Vote this soon.

Pre-turn
Give up Flight to Japan, Zulu and China so All are at War with Babylon. I leave France out since they wont last long. Currently getting Oil from Japan keeps them from jumping ship and we loose our Oil.
Rush Apollo otherwise he just sitting doing nothing and we can start on parts while we have oil.

EB -> Worker to Stop Starving.
Delhi –> Jet Fighter

Turn 1 (1832AD):
Bombay Apollo -> SSEngine
EB Worker -> SSlounge
Lower Sci Down in 10 turns with out running defcit. Going to need that steal money.

Turn 2 (1834AD):
Madras Jet -> SSDocking

UN VOTE
DIPLO WIN

Hit Enter and Do the Vote:

Thanks Guys for a very intresting Variant.
 
Woohoo! We won! And an interesting variant indeed! BTW, looking at the replay, I discovered that Babylon and Persia were at war with France for a little while (In the late AA, I think). Some events:

350 BC: Eridu, a Babylonian city, is captured by France.
230 BC: Dijon, a French city, is destroyed- probably by Babylon.
90 BC: Besancon (French) is captured by Persia.
50 BC: Eridu is captured by Persia.
50 AD: Besancon is recaptured.
70 AD: Besancon is destroyed.
110 AD: Dijon is destroyed (again- it was refounded)

That's all that the replay noticed.
