Pre-flight: CivAssist 2, Word running. Get the save loaded. Look things over.
Check options for Peace with Egypt. Can get 1410 for Peace plus our WM. I go for it. Hopefully when we get the move or declare, our troops teleport home. This allows me to abolish luxury spending and raise the tech rate to 70%. Begin Preparations for the resumption of the Greek war. Dump 2 Cavalry in cities building Bombers, 1 goes to an MA, one for an MI. With MAs available, Cavalry are a waste of unit support. We also have plenty of Bombers.

Turn 3, 1926AD: Cover the important spots. Switch MA builds to MIs, to replace expected losses, I’m betting they attack our colonies first. I think I’m ready. Try to goad Alex into a DoW, no luck. Declare anyway. My knowledge of WW is correct, we still have WW left from our previous wars. Raise the lux slider to 10%, but if we lose many units or luxes, we are screwed.

Pollution near Antioch.

IBT: Greek Bombers attack exposed units, colonies and our advance airbase.
Despite my precautions, WW steps up another notch, I guess bombing by enemy bombers adds to WW, since there were no attacks this IBT .
Antioch riots. Rather than raise the lux rate, I change geeks to clowns and take 1 tile out of production, change the build to a colosseum.

The usual Greek bombings. Our fighter nails 1.
2 Cavalry and an MA move into kill-zone.
Miniaturization arrives, but tight-ass Cleo won’t trade for Nuclear Power.
Monte will trade it for peace deal and Space Flight….I am too tempted, I take it.
I then sell it to Temujin for 230 gold and 18 gpt.
Susa, Antioch and Pasargadae riot……loss of War Happiness. Damn.
Turn 9, 1938 AD:
Raise luxes to 20%, shut tech to 0%, its time to raise cash for some tech thievery.
Satellites would be nice, it’d be nice to have a few nukes.
Aztecs now have Satellites and they are building their Spaceship. This means nukes may soon be around.

ARG! I sent the new Carrier to the same square as the Battleship to our west, thinking I could bombard the Egyptians. Sadly, I was one square too far away, and then an Egyptian battleship sank the Carrier -- our Battleship was damaged enough that the Carrier became the primary defender!
