May I suggest the "Don't Care" be replaced by "Computers". I'm sure all our warlords would love to be Mechanized, once they see the tanks rolling.

After plastics better go for fiber optics, its the next tech i beleive , Internet will pay for itself almost immediately.

Fiber Optics requires Radio and Computers. What about Biology and Medicine? We could use some food and health. Got it, will play 12-14h fom now.

Then computers later. warlord mi sounds cool
. And then we can go for fiber optics , build internet check ai's research selection and research other techs. The AI can give us biol9ogy medicine and many other techs.

Do we really want to sink so many turns into the Internet - are we really going to actually use those techs or are we just going to build:
and crush everyone!
- bombers (remember these have limited range)
- nukes (for cities where our bombers cannot reach)
- tanks (crush, kill, destroy)
and crush everyone!

Relaxed turnset. Not so much fight. I'm affraid AI building infrastructure instead of troops. I've seen Japanese infantries going home instead of dying in battle.

Does any of the Ai have communism. I remember monty researching communism for his favorite civic police state. But it enables Scotland yard and spies. So check his capital if it has 2 national wonders, then search any of his major cities with less than 2 national wonders for scotland yard . Well if we find him building scotland yard we can do nothing about it than to send our spy to some remote monty city so that she is not discovered by monty's spy.
Edit: crosspost with ruff , I am skipped ruff in this turnset as I have played an extra turnset in that so called shadow game.
I would go for Fiberoptics first since several important technologies like biology will be gotten for free, biology = 3 extra food when we irrigate plains ivory .
Good work nengy venketto , I suggest everyone follow and post AI's research order. To next player nuke monty more , he is researching electricity >fission and then rocketry he can nuke us. I think global warming must be fun for the AI's now.
edit2: mansa has electricity too that @#$$% tech whore, he had very few cities If i remember. So nuking his big cities should help delay his eventual research to fission>rocketry

Is that how it works? I've never been able to find AIs spies? How do you go about finding spies?
druidravi

If you have a spy in your territory in his line of vision if there is any enemy spy she will be detected and can be killed like any non-combat unit. So if monty produces spies its better our spies go to some remote monty city which his spy might not go to .

@ ruff : Internet shoud have 100%(resource)+100%(ironworks)+50%(buearacracy)+ 25%(forge)=275% production bonus
So 2000/3.75~540 shields. It should just take 8 turns to complete.
edit: @ all turnsets are 10 not 15 no matter how much fun nuking is

Early turns are slow, a couple of nukes on Monty and Mansa Musa, and the lemmings continue their bloody march toward our merry men. At one point there are quite a few cannon next door to London, so the artillary has a few pot shots at them. I notice we have no battleships, and also that all the naval units are costing money, so I scuttle a few. In a large
, I pillaged the whale instead... which doesn't really matter, but was stupid anyway.
Plastics is in, Radio is started. I notice Alex has moved onto electricity, so his capital is nuked as well. Mansa is still researching at a good pace, so another 2 cities are nuked.
The oil is connnected and the first tank rolls into action, drilled up, and is successful. It is the new age of warfare. On the final turn, the tank attacked again and pershed to an infantry with good odds. *sigh* Enough attacking for me. I left the GG who was born last turn in the city, and Radio is due in 6 turns. There was no sign of Scotland Yard, btw.
Here's the tech situation:
Augustus: astro > AL (9)
Mansa: Ind > Plastics (13)
Alex: AL > electricity (6)
Monty: Elec > Ind (18)

good turnset. I think it would be better if we conserve our tanks till we get around 10 of them. and go for a massive breakout aided by bombers / artillery. Give all the tanks atleast barrage 1 so if 1 tank fails others complete the job. AI tech situation seems under control. If they had any sense they would be beelining to nukes. 2,3 nukes could totally screw us especially if they can destroy national wonders like globe etc . But our dumb old Ai continues researching to tanks / infantry . Join the GG we need no more warlords and we get extra exp for tanks.

For attacking out of the city, a Marine would have better odds than the tank. He gets a free river crossing promotion.

Got it ... I think it's pointless to try to bulldoze our way out ... easier to build 3~4 transport and move 10+ tanks out.

nice idea fox. I would also like a fleet of bombers (oops, squadron) that can reduce the strength of the units near our tank landing site (or at our front door).

I enjoyed your concept so much that I took your start and played out a game myself about a week ago after having read part of your thread.
Not sure how spoilerish this is but I did complete the game so some observations are past where you are.

Sorry, 
forgot to do a Alt-B ... so no combat odds. But I did lost a tank while attacking. It is a worthwhile risk IMHO to get more exp to our tanks instead of having the MerryMen monopolizing all those exp.
I settled the warlord as strongly suggested by druid, but IMHO we could use one more warlord for Redcoat LB-II who has ~200 exp.
We got a merchant against all odds ... Cartier ... isn't he suppose to be born in Quebec rather than London? Not that I am complaining, London is growing again. Which means we might wanna consider getting biology to allow London to grow to size 30, or we could use one more dirty building (factory?)
We paid a relatively small price for the nukes launches, but may I know who build one more worker? What a colossal waste of hammers.
We are starting to see those amphibious marines ... but they are no match for Robin Hood and his band. But Mansa is growing quite advance, perhaps next player want to press the red button once more.
I had built two transports ... basically a per 4 tanks. I think we need to gather something like 20 tanks, 10 gunships (once flight is in), and start razing cities.
Oh, BTW, if you set "Quick Combat (Defense)" in the options page, it will really drastically cut down the amount of time to play the turns. The animations is rapidly getting pretty boring anyway ....

I did 'cos we lost iron mine due to global warming -> lost 50%
bonus with IW. I could build the mine only 1 turn faster and lost the 150% bonus for building military units while building the worker. So in the one hand we lost But in the other hand the worker will be able to reduce the period of heavy starvation we probably face when we lose a food resource temporaly (global warming again). 
maybe was a sorry.
