On the negative side, this essentially concludes the Zulu war with a yield, in terms of our hopes for armies, of just fifteen elite victories producing no Leaders, and four cavalry promoted to elite.
We sell Economics to Persia for 51 gpt, 73 gold, and their WM.
The Venezuelans still arent in their GA, though weve watched them send plenty of Llaneros off to war. Apparently theyve already had it.
Venezuela and the Sioux form an MPPthe first Ive noticed.
The Babylonians have SciMeth and are building ToE. This isnt good timingone turn sooner and we could have saved what became the Military Academy in Brasilia as a ToE or Hoover pre-buildbut we have another pre-build in Fortaleza and well see what we can do.
1000 (5): The Babylonians are building ToE in Königsberga conquered city, obviously, but a pretty good onewhere its due in 16 turns. They might speed up the build a bit by railing there, but probably not by any other means. Fortaleza is comfortably ahead of that pace, so things look good.
We could try to steal SciMeth from Babylon, but its a pointless risk when well discover it under our own power in plenty of time to complete ToE.
We send Theory of Gravity to Russia for 46 gpt, 6 gold, a worker, and their WM.
We sell Economics to the Aztecs for 22 gpt, 13 gold, and their WM.
We sell Steam Power to China for 149 gpt, 117 gold, and their WM.
Wed still like to give the Venezuelans time to send their Llanero force into Africa, and we still want to generate armies or at least elite cav before we fight them. So, by the same logic as dictated our attack on Zululand, we declare war on Australia. LK wont like the fact that this will add about twenty tiles to our border with Venezuela

, but defending tundra towns shielded by forest and connected by rail shouldnt be too difficult.
As in the Zulu war, the terrain will be a greater obstacle than the enemy:
