Turn 295 (1850 AD)
Civgeek: Thanks to MadDog' excellent summary, I know pretty well what to do. Crush Japan and settle the outer islands. The glorious Roman Empire is aiming for Domination ASAP. For the most part I left the workers to finish our rail net and focused our production centers on military units (a mix of infantry, machine gun and artillery) while newer or less productive cities focused on anything to increase population or land (granaries/theatres for the most part). I purchased theatres in newly conquered cities as soon as they stopped revolting. Tanks started to roll off the line just at the end of the campaign turn, but didn’t see any action. They are probably not needed at this point. For simplicity I’ve omitted city growth notices and non-military builds from the log.

Turn 296 (1852 AD)
