pre-turn - Egypt and Zulus ally against us!
1540 AD - trade with Japan to bring our science up to par. Now we go for Integrated Defence fast as can be. Nuclear Power in 6 at slight loss of money. Rome is culturally weak on its northern coast near Hippo Regius and Londinium - a ciy there would give us a foothold and dyes. Also, it will be the first thing an enemy attack, thus
easing the defence of the homland. An expeditionary force is being assembled.
Construction of all tactical nukes is changed to ICBMs.
1545 AD - Japan cancels the MPP, no offer can get them to prolongue it. We sell them Saltpeter for 56 Gold per turn. Nuclear Power now 4 turns away - someone must have reached it.....
Should we wipe Japan out? They are small, closeby, no threat but easily conquered........ A seriuos buildup of defensive units and Bombers is necessary.....
1550 AD - the World is going crazy! Greeks and Zulus sign peace, declare war right away!
Japan MPPs with China, Babylonians give us peace for 200 Gold

That must make Hammu happy, he squeezed 200 gold out of us... We have >10 000 right now...... Montezuma gives us 1 Gpt and World map for peace. Egypt and Zulu refuse to talk. Rome, too, but our invasion fleet is taking shape anyways

We cannot trade with the Babylonians, Egypt and Russia

Why can't they build Harbors?????
Now everyone goes to war with everyone, England with the Aztecs, England with the Zulu....
Englanbd is promptly destroyed by the Egyptians - anyone surprised?????
Next act of the comedy: Japan is the target of a babylon-Egypt alliance.....
We construct our first ICBM in Leipzig. Many more Mech Inf come on line, so we can finally feel a little better. Especially Japan might get antsy.
1555 AD - Russia and Egypt go for the Iroquese, Arbela can build Iron Works. Rushed Courthouse, then will start IW.
1560 AD - IW started, Invasion fleet moving

Babylon and Japan make peace now. Japan joins Zululands fray against Rome. Very good, now they won't come after us when we get there!They also ally against Greece....
1565 AD - blah nothin much, more Mech Inf and modern armour, and our first ICBM
1570 AD - blah
1575 AD - Iroquese destroyed by Zulu.
1580 AD - Egypt and Russia go for Babylon. The Japanese want to cancel the ROP. We have to pay 900 gold+ world map so they prolonge it

But I want to be safe from attacks by them....
Un election held, inconcusive (4 for Russia, 1 for us, rest hates us both

)
1585 AD - yawn Peace with the Zulu.....
OK, I'll quite here, fun to whoever can do the landing near Rome.....
