I'm am going to spare all of you the mundane details of a turn-by-turn report. Absolutely nothing interesting happened during my turns; unless your name was Cyrus, of course.
I've completed research on both Artillery and Computers. I spent 4500 gold to upgrade all of our Cannons to Artillery. I did not upgrade any units to Mech Infantry. I've built quite a few Infantry and Marines, and a few Artillery, during my turns. We still trail Tokugawa on the power graph, though.
We need to decide what to research next. Plastics would allow us to build the 3 Gorges Dam. Refrigeration and Genetics would solve our health problems. I couldn't decide, so I decided to leave it blank and let the team decide.
We have a Great Engineer. I put him to sleep with our Great Prophet. I'm not convinced that saving these folks for an "emergency golden age" is the right move, though.
Evidently our sabotage activities are irritating Mao. He cancelled open borders on my first turn.
Mao and Tokugawa are still the only ones with Rocketry. Here is a look at their progress on the Apollo Program.
Mao has built the IronWorks in Beijing. He has no iron and I've done my best to keep his only coal source pillaged.
I was shocked when Cabledawg reported that we had no oil. I could find only 3 sources on the entire map.
Vicky has 2 sources and Cyrus is in possession of another source for just a little bit longer. Vicky has no interest in trading with us.
Either Mao or Tokugawa will end up with it if we don't take action. How about this for a plan? Tokugawa will make peace with Cyrus for Communism. We then give another tech to Tokugawa to declare on Mao. I'm not sure which tech we would want to give him, though. But, that should put an end to the space race, at least until Vicky gets Rocketry.
