Getting biology might not be a bad idea, though, since more fruitful farms = more population = more UN votes. Could make a difference.

Pre-turn, 1700 AD...
Check Delhi's GPP. Almost full. If it's not a Great Scientist (I hope not), it may be time for a Golden Age.
Some cities are starving due to all those riots. Switch up to 40science/40culture.
I check if Hannibal will declare war... he says he has enough on his hands right now!? Oooh. I'm looking to war on anyone Hannibal will be at war with. I hope it's not us. He's friendly at least.
I gift Economics to Hannibal. He won't be able to resist adopting Free Market soon.
Turn 1 (1705)
Delhi: Theater -> Colosseum
Move in to CUzco
Turn 2 (1710)
Bombay: Theater -> Mausoleum
Bangalore: Gren -> Theater
CUZCO
Bomb Cuzco to 0%
Treb kills Longbow (30%)
Treb retreats
Treb dies to Knight
Treb dies to Longbow

Boudica beats Mace
Gren dies to Pike (88%) PLEASE, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG!!! TELL ME NOW!
Gren beats Crossbow
Gren beats Sword
Gren beats Horse Archer
Gren beats Longbow
Crossbow beats Longbow
Gren beats Longbow
Elephant beats Catapult
Longbow beats Longbow
Move in with remaining troops for a total of 2 Longbow and 1 Catapult inside.
Cuzco comes with Chicken Itza, Party-non, and Temple of Art. Unfortunately, they're all OBSOLETE! Consolation prize: Mahabodhi (Buddhist Shrine), which produces 9gpt.
IBT: Longbow, CITY GARRISON 2 even, dies to Knight! I should seriously consider purchasing a good luck charm.
Turn 3
Delhi: Colosseum -> Cannon
Madras: Market -> Forge
Calcutta: Hindu Temple -> University
Karachi: Mausoleum -> Courthouse
![[pissed]](/images/smilies/pissed.gif "Pissed [pissed]")
The RNG hates me. Guess what... it's a GREAT SCIENTIST in Delhi. So much for the Golden Age. I burn Charles Darwin to speed up on researching Biology. (I should even more seriously consider purchasing a good luck charm.)
Hermitage whipped at Lahore
Turn 4
Bangalore: Theater -> Knight
Lahore: Hermitage -> Forge
TUrn 5
Bombay: Mausoleum -> Bank
Hannibal switches to Free Market and Representation. Time to pile up the shared civic bonus!
Huayna Capac still won't capitulate.
Move out to Machu Picchu, leaving Gren, Longow, Trebuchet in Cuzco
Turn 6
Delhi: Cannon -> Gren
Kolhapur: Harbor -> Settler
Hannibal has declared war on Isabella. May wanna declare to pile up the war relations bonus?
Turn 7
RESEARCH: Electricity -> Radio (17 turns at 40% sci)
Someday we will make Radio so cheap, only the rich will buy Windows Vista.
Bangalore: Knight -> Hindu Missionary
Karachi: Courthouse -> Frigate
Whip a Courthouse at Shangian
Turn 8
Shangian: Courthouse -> Harbor
Houston, we have a problem:
IBT: Catapult attacks our SoD and Trebuchet attacks Cuzco; no losses.
Turn 9
Delhi: Grenadier -> Broadway
Madras: Forge -> Grocer
Bangalore: Hindu Missionary -> Grenadier
Turn 10??? (ended in 1755, which should've have been only 1750, must've played extra turn somewhere)
Bombay: Bank -> Grenadier
Great General born in Bombay. Join 'em to a Maceman, promote to CR3, upgrade to Gren.
MACHU PICCHU
Bomb Machu Picchu to 9%
Cannon dies to Musket
Cannon beats Lonbow
Cannon dies to Gren
Gren beats Gren
Gren beats Knight
Gren beats Pike
Gren beats Treb
Gren beats Musket
Move in with a couple of Grenadiers to defend Machu Picchu.
Huayna Capac STILL won't capitulate... STILL won't give up Corporation. Not that we need it, but...
Anyway, one Caravel containing Hindu Missionary to convert last heathen city in Hannibal's place.
I decided to start Broadway in Delhi because Mass Media won't be finished until after Broadway's completion anyway at the current research level.

Conclusion:
Aside from my rotten luck, I think I'm fine.

We can get Bio after this war, I think, since as of now any more population would beXerol said:
Played 9 turns to even things out.
PT - Get 200 gold from GK. Set sliders to 50/30 and whip some.
T1 - 5 Trebs attack Machu Picchu and 1 Grenadier dies.
And what I can't attack....Oh, HC has become GKs Vassal. War over friends lets go home....and our units are stuck in Machu Picchu because all borders are closed off.
T2 - Here my PC crashed and I had to reload but nothing happening at the moment.
T3 - Start Heroic Epic in Bangelore. Cuzco comes out of revolt and I whip it a little.
10 pop gone. Oh well they were starving anyway.
T4 - Hannibal offers a deal and I accept for the sake of our friendship.
T6 - Jaipur found on our little Island.
T8 - Radio in and Mass Media will come in 5.
T9 - Hannibal comes again but this time with other needs:
I agree to solidify our friendly relations. Also we have several cities that can pump out a Rifleman every 4 turns.
One caravel is on its way towards Izzy to scout her out. I don't think we need to attack her though. Mass Media comes in 4 turns so this game could be over soon.
The scientist should be either used for a golden age (that's what I saved him for) or if we get another one to lightbulb. Merging him now would be an absolute waste.

I've had a couple of diplo games and one's vassals doesn't count for UN secgen/leader eligibility elections purposes (in one game I was ranked lower than Rameses despite having 2 vassals), but whomever GK votes for the vassals vote too.

Is that Star Wars and Return of the Jedi or Phantom Menace and whatever the crappy last one was?
