I still don't see the exact landing spot. However, I see the general area. We have a big amount of borders to the northeast of Brasilia. I will try and start to consolidate a fleet in that area. We have some exploring ships that will get recalled.

I change the selected science path to delay democracy for now. We are at the point we badly need rails to keep moving forward.

I would like to drop luxury rate to 10%. I first have to see how badly Circus Maximus going obsolete will hurt us.
(IT) Brasilia riots and it forces me to scroll ahead to avoid more. The effect of CM dying was worse than expected.

We lost the galleon by Urfa. I am glad I emptied it before hitting end turn. (0-1)

Egypt is building Crystal Palace. That means they already have railroads.
Russia completes the Alamo. That means they had industrialization for a bit.

Nice to see we started laying the track for the Orient Express.

Any thoughts on planting a spy in Egypt and trying to steal tech?

 

[LKendter]

Any thoughts on planting a spy in Egypt and trying to steal tech?

It is a question of enough cash. I ate a big part of our cash just with one lousy round of rushed steam rollers.
We don't get the advantage of trading stolen tech in AW. I'm not sure how much value it has.
