Great job as usual:goodjob:
I see we'll have many ironclads before magnetism, that's nice, and that we're ready to destroy the spanish city Burgos. Our engineer shortage isn't as serious, we have 28, and in a few turns we'll have at least 33:)
 
1710AD Celebrations of NUF Democracy - 2647 gold 20,40,40%

Fabulous! First Ironclad! Railroad on Ren's Wine! :goodjob:

I see we are not at our standard 20,30,50% - need to look at that.
Looking at Routskilde, I see it still celebrates at 20,30,50%, so I will briefly survey with that rate structure.

I recommend spending freely.

  already has war unit, rehome Dragoon? sw to Van?
Monks Towne: 3rd Engr in 2, Irrg, Market or Build City?
Fort Anarchy=5: IPRB=30 £8, Van in 2, then Van

15,310,000 pop, F5 $256 -33, Sci 772/3 flying!

Speedup Vans: IPRB=30 & 40 £11, seven times per year (A)
 
What should we do about Darwins? Leave it? Start building? Stockpile vans? We were planning to build SoL next, iirc.

Do we want to bribe Persian Settlers at £900+? What about small Spanish towns? (I think it maybe risky except with Avila)

Anything else?
 
Don't bribe settlers for that money, it's ridiculous. We can IPRB faster and cheaper than that!
I'd like a wonder to be started at RC and caravans being sent to RC too. It's not that I love Darwin's that much, I just don't want another civ to build it and get 2 techs! :)
Bribe small Spanish towns if they're cheap, until about 500 gold I've no objections at all, especially with the rate we're making money now.
 
I agree that is a $bit much. It would only be worth it if it became a None, and even then, £900 is steep. I agree with Civ1, don't.

It's true, they stole Railroad from us, a bummer. When we get Industrialization, that could kill our celebrations with Pollution. If I had my choice, I'd build Darwin then, shoot to Mass Transit, and perhaps Rush Buy (after one turn of shields) a Mass Transit.

The fast way to build a Wonder is to not start it ahead of time. Like this time, Jayne started a Dip, so we got the Bach 2 turns sooner than if we had actually started a Wonder.

Regarding Spanish towns, I haven't looked at the map. DO we have overwhelming force available, to shield from a stealing AI Dip? Btw, now that we're Democ, I see Jayne has unstacked our forces at Indian Watcher. But their Dip will get in and steal our technology, eh? Ready to expel them? Why not?
Avila is also risky, even suicidal.
 
Mass Transit only solves people pollution. People pollution only starts after Automobile. Correct?

Expeling the dip is separate from asking them to remove their troops, so just expel the dip for now and wait until their units on our main continent are inside a cities radius before asking them to remove their troops.
 
I've been looking at the game yesterday for a short time (I had stuff I wanted to see on TV :rolleyes: ). It's looking great! One ironclad in Spanish seas and one caravel looking at the northpole with troops gathering in Jorvik. We're almost ready for attack!
People looked very happy around our empire as well, looking at all these happy folks certainly brought a smile to my face. ;)
I'd say: play on mighty queen of ours! :D
 
We currently have cease fire agreement with the Spanish, but I don't expect it to last. As soon as they break it - bye-bye Burgos!!!
