Lots of economy boosters built (markets, grocers and banks). We still need two more banks for Wall Street.
Washington finished the Ironworks. After Military Tradition and Military Science I picked up Corporation but shortly after finishing the Ironworks Washington delivered another Great Scientist. I saw no better use for him than holding him for Aluminium Co, and accordingly set the research path towards Rocketry. Aluminium Company will deliver Aluminium and extra beakers at a reasonable cost, according to the Corp screen.
Picked up Scientific Method in this trade
and discovered we have no oil, and then Physics in this one
and discovered Uranium on the western border near Snaketown. There is Oil in the HRE, and off the coast of Egypt, and I think in Washington's lands, but no one has connected it.
I canceled the Defensive Pact with Sal as he reported he had too much on his hands right now and I wanted to see just what that might be. The result was an improvement in relations with Charlie. We have dropped back a little
in troop numbers vs Charlie and our espionage allocation has been too low to allow us to see his power graph. Accordingly I raised the Espionage budget and allocated more towards him and Ramses.
And Snaketown and Boston should definitely keep training military.
Joao is becoming the big dog and has learned Assembly Line but shows no signs of becoming overly aggressive.
We are pushing the happiness and health limits pretty much everywhere, and may want to consider building temples to go with all our religions. Taoism and Christianity have been spread to all our cities, and I even got Taoism into an HRE city on our border.
The railroad work is mostly complete with all the hammer locations railed and mainlines laid down between the cities. There is one line yet to be built from east to west, I think.
I have not managed a Space Race in Bts yet, so this promises to be interesting.
