Phaedo
Emperor
In general it was a quite set with some wasted time and effort. We are researching at 4 turns per and need only a few specialists for beakerheads.
I spent a ton of cash on improvements. Cities above pop 7 seem to gain from courts and police stations. Metros get about 6 uncorrupted gold regardless of corruption. I built a bunch of hospitals to utilize our land. Once built, those cities can benefit form courts, libs and police stations. We can always sell off some tech if we need more cash.
I panicked last night thinking about the perfect space shot and researched Genetics so I think we have about 12 or 16 turns before we win. I'd like to see us build the ship the same turn we research the final space tech. Manhattan will come in about 8 turns from now. That, with the 6 turns that we will need adds up to 14 turns. Some choices will have to be made about tech research and/or research pace to time it correctly. There might have to be some terrain adjustment needed as well. Once Manhattan comes in, I think that we will need to start our pre-builds. ICBMs and Apollo take 500shields and there are 2 components that need 640s. If Athens can squeeze out 2 more shields we ca get the big build in 10 turns, if not 11 (Rhodes can do it in 8 turns). Thermo can do Apollo in 10 turns. The rest are between 6 to 7 turn builds. The Math is easy and by building from wealth with pre-builds, I think it should be relatively easy to time. The next set will have all the decisions to make.
After the pre-builds are set up, there are about 5 more cities with strong production for any military that we may need and a number of mediocre production cities that can rush military builds cheaply.

Is there any chance of a Christmas update? I thought Buce was up...
