As of 1050 AD: From Victory Status Screen:
- Rivals Still Alive - 11,
- Our Percent of: World Area 33%, World Population 34%.
Notes:
- Any town whose name starts with “lmn8” can be abandoned and most likely needs to be replaced with a rail line.
- I reduced the Science slider from 70% to 40% this turn.
- I think we have a Factory in every town that are good producers and as such I would not build any more Factories. I would rush Power Plants or maybe Telegraph/Telephone in towns if it might get shield production to >= 130 shields per turn to insure 1 turn tank builds.
- e.g. Cheju is a good candidate for a Power Plant.
- I do not think we need more Steamrollers. With the Flintlock patch it takes just 1 click to have 24 slaves to build a Railroad.
- Just before hitting the space bar for the next turn, I would short rush Hotchkiss and WWI Infantry.
- Given the pace of the game, I do not think we need to learn Radio before Great War Experience.
- We only have 1 or 2 cities currently producing 1 turrn Hotchkiss who will not be able to produce 1 turn tanks. In some cases the city can still construct buildings that increase shield production (e.g. Gas Holder).
- Also, learning Radio makes Town Clock obsolete and the loss of 25% shield production.
- Owing to the number of times production was sabotaged in Valencia, Madrid is building it.
- I was going to abandon “lmn8 Mars” but the railroad needs to be replaced to keep the line intact.
