Careful steal for Western Church from Castile succeeds (since I sell them Horses, they wouldnt have declared anyway).
Trade for the other 3 Christian Techs with Castile, Burgundy and Poland.
VPs 29840.
Lend 4050gp from Abbassids for 260gpt.
Thats insane 4400gp, 17gpt, Silks and Wines is not enough for Defender of Europe!
So, Science to 100% @ -386gpt, DoE in 3 turns (hey, I didnt know minimum research time here is less than 4, or did we sink some turns into it before?)

Replay reveals nothing exciting. Celts must have been at war with England throughout the whole game, staying alive with not much more than Dalriada until 1296AD (they even got a MGL, oh well
) was a pretty good job; Turks are down to Ghuzz + 2 cities, Poland and Danes have Relics.
We are #1 in power, and even #2 in regular score (behind Abbas).
Nice, relaxed, fun, well-conducted game again, Gentlemen
!
Final save
