I am starting to get a little jumpy about the UN vote. The biggest news is Saladin is now a vassal of Louis. And with Saladin's appetite for cultural techs I can see him heading for Mass Media, building the UN and voting his Master Louis in as Secretary General. We remain on Friendly terms with Catherine , but Brennus is merely pleased with us and his relations with the rest of the world are the same. I sold and gifted him some resources just to pick up a few more resource supply modifiers.
Finished research on Ecology then started the scientists down the path to Robotics which is due in just a few more turns. We currently are sitting pretty on that branch.
Artillery has become generally known and we could buy it from Brennus for Electicity and Assembly Line. Or we can research it ourselves in four turns.
The economy is runnning high wide and handsome. Seoul alone is worth about 550 beakers at 70% and the rest of the nation contibutes generously.
The biggest issue we face is that as our cities continue to grow, several have passed twenty, we are pushing up against health and happiness limits. I traded some health to Saladin for Hit Singles after he built Rock N Roll early in the term, and finished as many markets and groceries as I could throughout the empire, and built a Recycling Center in Production City and we may want to consider them elsewhere. Never built any before
Theatres and colusseums and the use of the culture will also help with the happiness issue if Saladin does in fact finish the Eiffle Tower to go along with all his other Wonders. Some Taoist missionaries out of Wonsan will help as well.
Confucianism has spread to all our towns but my attempt at converting a Celtic town failed.
All the towns with factories, coal plants and Observatories are building Laboratories, Seoul is working on the Eiffel Tower, and some consideration was given to shutting down research for a bit to cash rush it, but Saladin spent his hammers on Rock N Roll so I kept the science spigot open. That is still an option. Scotland Yard did not get built as I couldn't find a decent town to put it in while trying to cope with health and happiness and getting the coastal town garrisons beefed up. Wonsan and Production City trained all the troops and the eastern coast is now covered with Infantry and Armor. The Celtic border could use some reinforcement.
The worker army spent its time rounding out the food supply. There are still a couple of towns that could use some terrain trimming.
There are at least several up and coming towns (Washington and Carthage are two of them) with heavy food surpluses that could benefit from the Globe Theater. It won't help us with draft abuse but would allow the employment of many engineers and scientists.
