barbslinger, if we would go for Robotics first, the AI might research Ecology for us. This would shorten the time to get to the Space launch as well. The AI had plenty of time to research, so maybe they are close to Ecology now.

IT: The Chinese oil deal is ended, we get our gpt back. And then America enters our land with 50+ infantry and TOW's I thought this would be a calm turn!
I knew it! That's why I moved 30+ artillery back home during my turns even before the Hitties war ended! Otherwise we'd be in big trouble.
And please, leave Ecology to AIs..(we can always use palace to prebuild for the parts).
Remember no tech stealing is allowed (the Honorable rules actually say "using spy to steal techs is distardly", but I think using embassy to steal is so too.
Oh I left 2 empty armies to you at the end of my turn. I assume you used them..

I used the empty armies microbe.

I thought the same thing but it was wishful thinking when I realized they would all go for rocketry. Maybe I should have gifted it to them but we have NO competition and it will be over during Microbes turns. This was quite the demi-god ass-whooping. One good 4-turn settler factory and it is usually over. Same with GOTM31 It is my continent already.

AG5 1575AD
Pre-turn At war with America. 9 left on alliances with Mao and Beth. This game is nearly a wrap and will be won soon. Pyong gets a tile Inchon to do 1 turn tanks. We attempt a spy plant in Greece and were caught. Theyre not pleased. Washington does have an agent in it now. They have 61 infantry and 4 F-15s. Mao gets Fission for 389gpt, 915g, ICs and WM. Al he has. Sell ICs to Maya for 25gpt, 11g and WM.We are leading in power, score and culture. My plan for America is to knock his rubber offline and take a few cities. Not really that important. Swwap a lot of builds and also rush a bunch of police and courts.
IT Lots of builds and Laser > Ecology in 5 @ 100% or 90%. Well see if some extra scientists can help at 100% before sliding back to 90%.
[1] 1580AD Bombers and artillery galore. Rubber is offline. Pop a leader with 1st unit used. Army. Clear out some radio towers. Wonsan will build the Lounge in 2 with civil engineer help. Cheju goes on palace prebuild for 640 shield exterior casing and after Chongfu goes on prebuild for Storage supply.
IT Nothing major
[2] 1585 - Killed off 12 units approaching the border. Decreasing city size of Seattle. Not much luck ther but popped 4 units in the city. I would rather take the city at 2 pop than 21 pop. This space race was not a race down the stretch run and I am content with just hammering them from our where we are. This is not Conquest.
IT LOUNGE COMPLETE Ecology in 3. Many builds. They send only one unit up. Its gotta be getting desperate for them
[3] 1590 Bombing galore again and another leader. Army unfilled, if I get another leader I will hold this army for MAs. Army flag blockes theview of Seattles pop but it is down 6 from last we spoke.Dropping to 0%sci is still 3.
IT All is well and America has no more units to send at us.
[4] 1595 Seattle is taken with 1 resistor. San Francisco next though it will take some bombardment for a while. Easy money. Were irrigating the new continent for specialist use. Lots o pop to create specialists.
IT More builds, nothing on the world front. Pollution hits on 4 tiles.
[5] 1600AD The American fleet I have been shadowing for kicks I decide to destroy. Sci-sli down a notch for ecology in 1. I dont know how this war got started but Abe really picked on the wrong civ. Clean 1.5 tiles. Besides that Im just irrigating the new continent and bombing Abe. Her come ecology.
IT Ecology SynFib in 5. We build a TacNuke. There is also, at long last, someone else doing some fighting. England and Greece are killing each other while heading towards New York. Funny!
[6] 1605 - Kinda passing time bombing America. I have been using the armies to pillage. I never realized that on flatland they can pillage 6 times. Yes! Rails, road, move, rails,road move, rails, road. Im planning on leaving Abe with zero infrastructure. If San Fran gets bombed to size to take it I will.
IT China and England sign against the Hittites. America and Greece sign peace. The Hittites bring a ton of troops into our lands on the new continent.
[7] 1610 - 1st order of business is to deal sternly with Henry.
We have prompted him into the wussy zone which is where he should remain. America has 5 TOWs moving on us. I begin airlifting slave workers to the home continent to deal with the increased pollution. I didnt think workers airlifted but these slaves are moving. SanFrancisco is now separated from the mother country. Communications and trade has ceased due to road closures. D.C. is next.
IT I get a couple riots? The worst is Seoul! Whats up with that? We have not lost a battle. SynFib in 3 at 90%
[8] 1615AD Bombing away. We have a lot of artillery. Mayan give 53gpt for Radio. The rioting may have been due to the 3 tiles of pollution. I knock Washington offline from Abes empire. S.F. is soon.
IT China signs peace with America and Greece. Lots more pollution.
[9] 1620AD SynFib in 2. Bombing and attacking produces another leader. I guess we are at our army support limit though because I cant create another one. I ask Abe about peace and he wont give up his spice town Anyang. I guess he needs to meet some MAs
IT A few builds and more pollution, 8 tons, though some of it is of no concern.
[10] 1625AD SanFran takes a beating knocking the pop from 16 to 1 and redlining all units. Bombers step up and kill a few more units and after 3 elite kills we take the city. Rushing a library. He is still insulted when I ask for Anyang. SynFib this IT and 2 more ship parts.
IT Robotics in 6. Ill set up a 320s prebuild.
[11] 1630AD We now have 9 tons of pollution. Casing and storage supply due next turn. Wow the upgrading and 90% science is killing our cash. Computers to Mao for 56gpt and 720g. Fission to Beth for 67gpt and 720g. Upgrade 14 tanks to MA and we still have 56 tanks left. You know what. Enough of this war. Peace, 28gpt, 152g and spices. Lets finish this game. With all scientist specialists and 100% science it is robotics in 5. Paegam goes to Palace prebuild. There will be some waste at the end.
IT We build the the 8th and 9th parts for our space flight.
[12] 1635 Put most builds on solar plant so I wont be bothered. Sorted out the 72 artillary we have. Im hoping to just punch through to the end.
IT Just when I think it will be smooth sailing to launch the Maya declare. They attack a Mech Inf in Stuttgart with 6 cavs. We go elite.
[13] 1640AD Robotics is now in 3. Wonsan will build the last part. The Hittites are already at war with the Mayans so the picket fence I had put up to keep them from crossing our border is taken down. Go getem Henry! I ship over our bombers and 5 MAs. We take Kabah. I see I can build an army now with leader so I use him on Platform in Tokchon so I can pop one in Mayan war.
IT I have an ICBM now. Hmmmm!
[14] 1645AD I give Henry an ROP so he can use my rails to get at Smoke. I take Chicken Pizza and the temple of artemis plus wines. Too bad well never need them. Also, all but 2 pollutions in SanFrancisco area that dont matter is all that is left. Its robotics in 2!
IT Somehow I goofed the prebuild in Wonsan when war broke out. Seoul will have to build the space ship part. Should have 321 shields to build it in 2.
[15] 1650AD We take Coba. This game will end in a couple of turns so Im going to try and expedite this. We get a leader for an army of MAs.
IT Chamber is due next turn.
[16] Wreak some more havoc. Save off the game for you guys and here comes the win.
IT China signs MPP with Maya and then declare on us. Now they want a piece, huh?
WE WIN!
This was really a blowout win.

Nice work!
Our power decreased at some point? Oh yeah, that was I gifted cities back to Maya.
Sometimes I wonder why the same setting could leave to so different results. Our expansion was really great, because I kept sending settlers without escort.
EDIT: My second highest score.

Great job all ![[party]](/images/smilies/partytime.gif "Party [party]")
. Yes the 4 turn settler factory really worked well. I'm thinking about an Honorable conquest in the future. Should be possible looking at this game
