Good evening
,
I played ten turns to 1802 AD at which point we vassalized Toku...
We got the cristo redentor and Izzy got tanks
. She must taste our SoDs for the win
(we lack 10% of land for victory, but many japanese cities are still in revolt, so perhaps it's even not needed).
On to the show:
I made a trade with Darius for furs against pigs before hitting enter...
t 401: and saw this
We leave the city (don't say I surrender
) to avoid loses and call back both our offensive stacks to destroy this.
The GS makes an academy in St Petersburg...
t402: We retake Kyoto and gift Valencia to izzy (this city is not worth the maintenace and totally under spanish culture so not a big lose)...
And we are going to loose Tokyo too...
I thought quite a while during those two turns and didn't see any other things to do, so I leave this city as well...
t403: Toku wait at the doors of the city, but reinforcements aren't in time...
t404: Tokyo is back to the Japanese empire ...but the CR tanks are making the job now... still we need numbers so we have too wait an additionnal turn before retaking what is ours...
We take Nara though
t405: Tokyo is back in capable hands, the japanese threat is mostly gone...
t406: plastics is in...
We start on medecine to cope our health problem (I liberally built factories and coal plants so)... and it has some invested beakers as well
We also grab Satsuma after a long siege (stack with a lot of artis but afew real troops)...
t407: We heal
(so the soldiers drink)
t408: Bismarck asks for Electricity and I agree, we can't let him in the dark after all...
(serioiusly, pretty much every other AIs had it so we might as well avoid a dogpile).
We take Kagoshima
t409: Medecine is in and our people now start looking to the sky... (atempt to say flight)
We trade medecine for communism to Gandhi in case a switch to SP is needed (I think next player should do so right before playing tx to the Cristo Redentor).
With spy assistance (incitated revolt), we take Osaka...
Which gives us a GG.
t410: The Cristo Redentor is in
t411: We take Nagasaki
and Yokohama
.
We vassalize Toku because while it's fun beating this poor guy, Izzy now is producing tanks. We need to tackle that problem asap (read heal, move the force, and attack
)
He kindly gives us Phoenician, an actually decent city
Funny thing: Toku is officially the worst ennemy of the whole world! Congratulations! I didn't take a pic but you should look at the save, it's funny to see once
Note: We have health problems everywhere (because of production enhancement buildings), so we might think of including refrigeration in our shopping list... Alternatives are Advance flight for gunships, or computers for latter modern armors. I think the game won't last that long though
.
The GG is sailing to the front to make another medic (as we have two stacks). There is a medic cav in the left stack which could do the job. feel free to do otherwise with him, it won't matter much so let's have fun

Infantry and artillery, along with a couple of tanks and MGs, took Kyoto fairly easily - although Toku's rifles are all pretty much CG4, so need a bit of softening up. We have airships based over there now, so this does the trick. 
. But except from the start, this war was easy... We didn't loose more than 5 troops i think 
One of biggest misclicks ever. I just rushed Wall St accidentally as I was skimming thru a few cities to rush some tanks. There goes all the cash! Hopefully it will repay itself.
