Make a few reassignments. Move muskest to guard rail lines.
If Cleopatra calls the UN vote we are a candidate (second largest in territory). So here goes.
And it doesn't happen.
1-1750
I can buy Replaceable Parts from Abe for Iron, COal, and 125gpt. At least he is at peace with everybody, though in not much better shape than Spain. Go ahead and do the deal as it will allw us to build bettter defense, and guess what, there is no rubber in those godforsaken jungle towns. There is a border expansion due at The Lion which may get us rubber in four. We will wait for that before mortagaging the economy.
Ottomans take Buffalo and New Orleans from Egypt. Egtpy responds by taking Calcutta, Kohlapur, Jaipur and pounding Delhi into near submission.
2-3 1752-1754
Many battles in the east, no changes in holding. No UN vote, so I don't expect. It looks like CLeo is on her way to a domination victory. And in 1754 the Ottomans destroy the SPanish. Good thing we don't owe her any money.
3-1756
We have a new source of spices and some fine furs to sell to Osman for 16gpt and 23gpt respectively.
Mpve a settler to a coal hill in the old Spanish Lands.
4-1758
Found Coal Dust and watch the Ottomans and Egyptains go at it in the east.
Otto will sell Rubber for coal and 56gpt. Done.
5-1760
Found Protect the Rails between New Orleans(Ottoman) and Coal Dust (Arab).
Move some troops out of the contested territory as we now have a band across the continent and can serve our blockading function without blocking other nations territory. Open up the access to New Orleans and hope the Egyptians take it and raze it. They take the city but keep it.
The Lion joins the Egyptians.
6-1762
Found Bayview to try and connect the eastlands
Found Akron to try and take the rubber away from Madras.
Egptians defeat the Ottoman forces in the gap at New Orleans, pour a horde of mechanized troops through the hole and take Madrid.
7-8 1764-1766
Pitched battles for Delhi. Block Egyptian access to the eastland.
9-1768
Blocked Egyptian forces head back home.
Trade Osman Saltpeter for Incense. Renew the RoP for 35g to us.
Renew the RoP with Abe for 5og to us. Renew the Rop with Cleo for 100g to her.
10-1770
More battles in the east to not much effect. Cleopatra does an end-around our blockade and drops off a tank army and some Marines between Valencia and Philadelphia.
Not much new to report. It looks like there is no UN vote in the offing, unless we can somehow get Cleopatra to the peace table. Every city she takes is another opportunity for us to seize more territory, so I am not overly worried about a domination victory as we should be able to match her tile for tile, but how do we win this?
I would have started some forestry operations in the eastlands to get our culture buildings up quicker and cheaper had I though of it sooner. A lot of the empty land out there would look good with some serious lumberjacking going on, and I wouldn't worry about any spotted owls either.
Looks like it over to you, Rik. Make some more deals!!

I got it - making preparations to play, perhaps I can even play now.
IHT:
current sitution:
Americans: Up Nationalism + Refining + Steel (at least). They lack: horses(3) + Saltpeter(1)
Ottomans : Up Nationalism + Refining + Steel + Atomic Theory (at least). They lack: nothing.
Egyptians: Up Nationalism + Refining + Steel + Atomic Theory (at least). They lack: nothing.
Strategy for these 10 turns:
* Seperate the Ottomans and the Egyptians, but open up some fronts for the Ottomans to capture Egyptian cities.
* Fill gaps with settlers.
* Expand the nation "Cultural Domination" wise.
* Build up defenders, money, population and culture.
* Make sure the Egyptians do not win through Domination.
* Prepare for a Space-Race victory.
Switch Najran from Inf to Stock Exchange. Kufah from Inf to Univ. Basra from Inf to Hospital. Khurasan from Inf to settler. Anjar from Inf to Factory. Bodo from Inf to Settler. Karasjok from Uni to Coal Plant. Merw from Inf to granary. Close to former Karachi from lib to Market (it can get 4 shields even, but the unhappyness is killing it).
Free up the Ottoman's in Buffalo.
IBT: Egyptians and Ottomans fight, no cities lost or gained.
Live life on the edge flips to the Egyptians.
[1] 1772 AD. Perhaps there is Egyptian propaganda going on. Egypt's gold: 3041.
Found "Flip back Damascus" -> temple
Rush temple in Coal dust for 32 gold.
Cathedral in Mosul for 108 gold.
I'm going to give Buffalo to Egypt, in due time. There is too much Ottoman Culture there. But that is next turn.
IBT: Egyptian army is killed by Sipahi's
Ottomans capture Valencia.
Egypt demands TM + 23 gold from us. Sure!
Mosul Cathedral -> aqua
Coal dust temple -> lib
Death or the Roses? Coal plant -> barracks (I was considering courthouse as protection from propaganda, but we are a democracy; propaganda is impossible in Democracy).
Sana'a is revolting; gets an entertainer.
[2] 1774 AD. Rush temple in Flip back Damascus for 116 gold. Opening lines so that Egyptians can attack Buffalo.
IBT: Egypt and Ottoman's sign peace -> This could spell disaster for us !!! Egypt starts Manhattan. Ottoman's too.
KArasjok Coal Plant -> Cathedral
Flip back Damascus temple -> lib
[3] 1776 AD. Found "Tatooine", starts temple. Found "The east is ours" -> temple.
While maintaining 1 line of blockers, I move several units back into flip-endangered cities.
IBT:
Basra Hospital -> Cathedral
Battlefield medicine msg pops.
Death or the roses rax -> Inf. Switch Mecca to Battlefield Med.
[4] 1778 AD. Found "Damascus-flipper" -> temple.
Rush temple in The east is ours for 116 gold.
Rush market in Close to former Karachi for 324 gold.
IBT: Najran Stock exchange -> Univ
Khurasan Cathedral -> Inf
CLose to former Karachi marketplace -> court
The east is ours temple -> lib
[5] 1780 AD. workers...
Rush temple in Protect the rails for 80. Rush Lib in Ocean view for 248.
IBT: Basra cathedral -> Settler
Ocean view Lib -> Cath
Protect the rails temple -> lib
[6] 1782 AD. Rush temple in Damascus-flipper for 112 gold.
IBT: Kufah Univ -> Inf
Karasjok Cath -> Granary
Merw Univ -> Colosseum
Damascus-flipper temple -> lib
Global warming effects a tile.
[7] 1784 AD. Found "Steal Damascus' tiles" in our first ring -> temple.
Rush Cathedral in Ocean view for 316 gold.
IBT: Egyptian city of Memphis completes Mahattan.
Ocean View Cathedral -> Univ
[8] 1786 AD. We have effictively stopped the Egyptians from winning Domination style. Now it's time to catch up in techs. No more culture-rushing, save money for tech-purchases. Best deal = Atomic from Ottomans and then trade it to America for a different tech, but Atomic is still too expensive.
[9] 1788 AD. Not much.
IBT:
Bodo Univ -> Inf
Karasjok granary -> Univ
[10] 1790 AD. Ottomans are willing to sell Atomic for WM + 629 gold + 208 gpt. Americans still lack Atomic, so I sign the deal.
Buy Steel + refining from America for Atomic + Horses + Iron + Saltpeter + Coal + silks + 15 gold + 83 gpt.
Americans have combustion, but no Electronics, so set research to Electronics (Egypt and Ottoman's have it of course).
-----------
Next Player: We are again bankrupt. 0 gold; +30 gpt. In 1 turn the Wines for Spices with Egypt ends -> We do not really need wines anymore, so perhaps we can sell Spice.
In 3 turns we loose 39 gpt from our Furs and Spices sale to Ottoman. It is wise to sell them again.
In 4 turns Our buy of Ottoman Rubber ends, saving us Coal and 56 gpt. This is good; I've secured another 2 sources of rubber. Sell the coal for gpt (or techs) and we'll be doing great again. Do not worry for the Economics; all is ok.
Good Luck !

The save 1790 AD
I won't be able to play anymore till about August 9th. I'm on holiday. Skip me please.
1790AD [Preturn]: Now let's see what's going on...
Uh... Egypt and Ottomania have made peace. Not so good. Let's them research faster and stuff...
I hope we aren't making the AI irritated by all those aggressive border settlings...
The East is a little crowded...
So is the West, there are basically no spare tiles.. not that I'm complaining, though.
Press enter after making a few little MMings. We are up to +33gpt.
IBT: I thought cities with more than 50% of the city's pop amount of units won't flip... Ain't true, seems.
The Risk is our friend depose us and flip to Egypt!
We lose a lux so Kufah riots. Gah.
Merw Col > inf.
Close to Former Karachi riots.
1792AD [1]: Settle Shihr > temple.
IBT: Trade for Wines from Egypt ends, continue it, they pay Dyes + 350gold (max gpt would have been 5 (100gold)), we offer Spices.
Mecca completes the Battlefield Medicine > infantry.
Najran uni > court.
1794AD [2]: Hurry some stuff...
IBT: Stuff built.
Lincoln tried to plant a spy...
1798AD [4]: Trade Coal to Osman for 523gold + WM. Noone i willing to pay us gpt...
Trade Combustion from Abe for 92 gpt + 1120gold + WM.
Abe doesn't have Electronics yet... This might be good, we might be able to trade techs to him later...
Now what is this? We were making 122gpt income, and now its -20???!?
Now I miss the better taxmen of C3C...
Looks like MMing is powerful: gpt is now +1.
IBT: What is going on? We are now on -27gpt decifit!
Stock in Khurasan is disbanded. Gah.
1800AD [5]: I'll leave it here for these reasons:
- I want an explanation to what happened to the gpt.
- I'm tired and won't propably get to play the rest of the turns
