Ive just started playing my first Immortal space race race games to try and challenge the HOF for fun and to learn how to play the game better, and Togugawa just landed on my island and settled in one of my future gap-filler city spots which made me want to swear and hurl abuse, but then something that I have never seen before happened ....
He gave me the city as a token of his respect o.O

But the bugger just crashed my economy, but I'll recover once it reaches city size 3 and a lighthouse is whipped.
I managed to chop the GLH, and am going to try and build research in every city to get Metal Casting after Alphabet for forges and the Collosus. Getting just those two wonders for my Dutch Island tactics is epic hard on Immortal, I dont think I will be building any others, but the Versailles and Statue of Liberty would be nice - my main island can accommodate 9 cities with overlap for the late game, which will be fine because I will be powering them using the sea tiles, and the free specialist in each city is kind of a must have to increase their productivity, plus I get extra :GP: points. Maybe the Eifell tower too for +2 Great Merchant points.
And I want the Great Library in my capital as well, but again it will be hard, should I tech for Literature before or after Metal Casting? This is actually my first ever time that I havnt picked up metal casting for free with the Oracle, I can always do that on Monarch I just want to pop lots of Great Merchants to help supersize the capital and boost my and a few scientists for academies, but I will need the Glib for that.
