IT: Fire Hamburg's entertainer. Switch Leipzig from Forbidden Palace to Colosseum. I don't think putting the FP 1 city south of the capital would be the best place for it, and with its shield production there are better places for wonders if it were a placeholder. New Hamburg switched to library. New Konigsberg switched to library. Taking out pollution, our average demographic rating is 5.5. The only things we are above 6th place in are Approval Rating (3), land area (1), and life expectancy (2). Trade world map around, get a few gold for it. Trade wine to egypt for WM and 20 gold, best anyone could afford.
780 Cancel galley's goto orders.
790 Wake fortified galley outside a french city.
800 settler and warrior board a galley and embark on a long trip to china's southern tundra in an attempt to give us dyes and a foothold on that continent. French worker bought for 25 gold.
870 Bought Education from russia for wines, spices, WM, 120 gold, and 1gpt
930 Invention researched, astronomy selected. I wanted to take banking, but wanted a tech that would allow us to cascade if we needed too, almost took music theory since it was a cheaper tech to learn.
950 Road to iron completed. Trade invention to japan for chivalry.
Decided to only play 18 turns to make turn breaks easier, 20 turns will always end on xx50 now until 1750. Our economy is in shambles. Looks like we will need to trade lux for techs for awhile, and the extra iron outside new berlin, when it is connected. Our demographics are a little better, but barely. Most of my time was just spent moving workers around, trying to make some use out of our lands. Bremen or Salzburg seem like the best places for the FP for now, see if we can get something from those northern cities.

. Banging my head against the mast 
of the galley in south, is it perhaps after the dyes or the furs? Again traded maps to gain some gold and to keep people around us happy. The (not so)great German nation is not ready for war. MM Munich to grow in 19 turns instead of 38 turns and still complete granary in 3 turns. MM Bremen for extra gold (we need everything that we can get) Switched one improved tile from Konigsberg to Cologne for extra commerce. All seems to be in order for next turn.
and is also broke. I take rest of Japanese treasury for maps. Cathy and Mao also have Banking & Astronomy. Joan has Astronomy only. Lots of money wasted on astronomy. I don't know if this is wise but I switch research to Printing press. At -8 income? it will take 13 turns. I know It's gambling but I think its better than just sticking with astronomy which still has 13 turns left. If We get this before AI it could buy us the rest of the techs. I hope LKendter will come around and kick me for doing this so I too can learn 
Nothing else worth mentioning happened.
iplo check reveals we are getting smoked in tech. No one will trade. Change Konigsberg to courthouse. Is there a FP site yet? Have I been away that long?
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.
