IT: Fire entertainer in Hamburg, Universal Sufferage in 10 instead of 11 turns. Fire entertainers in Frankfurt and New Hamburg. We are first in Pop, GNP, Mfg Goods and land area, but 6th in literacy. We need more libraries/universities. America has 2 of the top 5 cities, I still have no idea how they figure that, I wonder if that would equate to them being slightly stronger in military production at all. Russia and Rome are both at war with us, and neither will talk yet. China doesn't have iron. Spices to France for 5 gpt, they do not have coal, so I trade industrialization for horses, communism and 40 gold. With 2 people at war with us, and the possibility of more, I thought it would be a good idea to have access to police stations. We need 1980 gold to upgrade all of our existing pikemen/spearmen. We are also losing interest by not having 1000 gold. I trade our WM around, and increase the gold to 648, +58 gpt. I decide to increase science to 70%, -2 gpt, Scientific Method in 4 turns instead of 5. Stuttgart switched from rifleman to granary. Berlin switched from rifleman to cavalry. Leipzig and Hannover are our only choices for Hoovers, and Leipzig has far better production.
Japan and Rome sign a trade embargo against us.
1605: Workers improve land.
Americans and French begin Universal suffrage.
1610 Cologne finishes factory, begins cavalry. I wake our fortified galleons to finish exploring the oceans.
1615 Workers increase Leipzig's shield output from 55 to 58 per turn.
1620 Scientific Method researched, Replaceable Parts began. Berlin finishes Cavalry, begins another. Hmmm, slight miscalculation on the price of ToE, Replaceable parts do in 8 turns, ToE in Leipzig due in 7. science to 80%, -60 gpt, RP in 7 turns. Workers sent to clean up pollution.
Chinese begin Universal Suffrage.
1625 Salzburg completes granary, begins aqueduct. New Leipzig completes barracks, begins temple.
1630 Bremen completes Factory, begins granary. Stuttgart completes granary, begins factory. New Konigsberg switched from granary to rifleman and rushed due to an approaching russian frigate/caravel pair.
Russia lands a cossack outside New Konigsberg.
1635 New Konigsberg completes rifleman, begins barracks. Rome will finally talk to us, but they want Scientific method for peace.
Our new rifleman defeats the russian cossack. America and Rome have signed a trade embargo against us.
1640 Berlin completes cavalry, begins another. Cologne completes cavalry, begins another. Bonn completes courthouse, begins a factory.
4 roman cavalry come north through american territory.
1645 Bremen completes granary, begins temple. Hannover completes factory, begins bank. Only 1 of the 4 Roman cavalry are in our territory, the other 3 are still on the american side of the border. I attack, and lose a cavalry, second cavalry dispatches the roman cavalry. Science dropped to 70%, replaceable parts still in 2 turns. Frankfurt reinfoced against the coming roman cavalry charge.
Russia and Egypt sign a peace treaty. Rome loses 5 cavalry, and 2 retreat on their assault on Frankfurt. We lose 2 riflemen, a musketman, and a pikeman.
1650 Universal Suffrage completed in Hamburg. Cavalry began. Heidelburg completes factory, begins library. 6 Roman cavalry eliminated outside Frankfurt.
Rome will now accept peace if you throw in an RoP. I will leave this up to the next player to decide. Might not be a bad idea, War Weariness might start affecting us soon, but they will now be throwing their cavalry against infantry if we have rubber. I tried to minimize the WW as much as I could, by not attacking in America's territory. I was producing cavalry in cities that have a decent level of production and development, while we have horses. Next turn, if we don't touch research, we will get 3 techs. Replaceable parts, and since research happens before tech, ToE comes online and gives us 2 more. I would suggest atomic theory and electronics and build the hoover dam in leipzig. ToE is a scientific wonder, we have already build a militaristic wonder (Sun Tzu's) so it will trigger a golden age too. Sorry about the treasury being so low, but I miscalculated the production time of ToE, and if I hadn't run at a negative income ToE would have been completed when Replaceable Parts had 1 turn left, and we would have gotten that as one of our free techs, and lost electronics.

maybe will have to wait and see. I really expected, sistene's, Copernicus and even Bach to go in the cascade and I think they still will.

but I sell our only saltpeter to them for Metallurgy + 2gpt. Then sell Metallurgy to rome for 56g + WM (all they had). WM to all for few gold and wines + spices + WM to Russia for 23gpt + 2g.
. Physics in 1 turn science down to 10% (+125gpt). Abe and Cathy have Physics.
. Konigsberg builds library starts bank. Heidelburg complets galleon starts cavalry. Brandenburg builds temple starts university. More rails.
I WILL NOT TRADE AWAY COAL even at 21 gpt. France has steam as well.
