I attacked and quickly conquered the persia town with spices, its surrounded by germany and with their culture pressure gone germany pushes in, but the flip isn't too high. Then sued for peace when I could. The point is, instead of trading my incense for their spice, I now trade spice with zulu for about 40gpt a turn. Now persia hates me, but it seems worth it to me. Don't you think?
I got to the modern age and gifted russia with enough tech so it would get to the modern age and get a free tech. I then tried to trade the 3 optional techs for the modern tech. But no, it wanted a ton of money, and I mean ALLOT. I thought to myself, no way. So I went to war with russia. I took one of its cities, was rather afraid of taking the other one. I got them down to 75 gold for the tech. I figure another turn or two of being parked out side their only city and whittling on their forces with cannon and troops. (using cannon to tell how many troops are left so I don't accidentally take the city) and steam power will be mine!
Should I zero research nationalism or medicine? Well anyways after my war with russia, I figure I'd spark a war with germany via tech stealing. I got a MPP from zulu for about 70 gold after my war with persia. I should still have a few turns left by the time I settling things with russia.
Oh, and I triggered a golden age when I captured the persia city with my UU filled army. Not sure if thats "too early". But I got allot of gold now. On my last few turns of it.
