My Shortest Report
Traded Sugar to Cyrus for Dye. Renogotiated many deals to get more gold. Built lots of infrastructure including lots of coal plants. Signed peace with England. Signed Defensive Pak with Kublai. Radio due in 5. Accidently pressed enter so I'm uploading the autosave.

Well, the only thing different is that the 1961 save was played on Knupp's machine, so perhaps there's a problem there.
I'll play my ten tonight, and will upload the game. Pholkhero, check that you can play it. If so, I suggest we set the rotation as knupp -> me -> pholkhero.

Hey, dude!
Hey, are you listening? Listen to me, Im telling you. Hello? Can you hear me? Good! Now, what was I going to say? Oh yeah, I was going to tell you about life and stuff like that.
Now you see, we got easy. Our country had its share of militaristic madmen and crazy religious folks not the usual kind of priests that organize everyone to work just a little bit harder. But the last ten years have been good for us.
First of all, remember the Russians? What do you mean, those crazy Islamic theocrats? Well, yes, they are crazy Islamic theocrats, and their leaders moustache makes little children cry and wet their beds. Thats not the point. The point is, they built Broadway in the year 1962, and being the friendly vodka-drinking Islamic theocrats, they invited us over.
So, our whole ministry of foreign affairs goes off to see the Swan Lake premiere, and they come back changed, man. The chief minister arranges these ballets to come all over Spain (I think he swindled some deal where we sent them some pigs instead crazy, huh?). Well, what do you know but less than a year the ballet is popular over the whole country.
The military dont like it much anymore, but nobody cares about them now that weve all seen how insane the generals get if they have their way. So, the draft is canceled, and the right for free speech is asserted in the famous court case of Hunter vs. State. On balance, the whole country breathes a sign of relief, and our scientists speed up pace at no cost to the little guys (research went up by 10%).
So, fast forward three years. 1965, and we invent radio. Now, we cant see the ballet over the radio, but we can hear music, so pretty much every musician with a guitar and a transmitter is getting their wave out. They are going to rock and roll in a few years, I guess.
Give me some of that wine, you idiot! You see the label? Mongolian Sparkling Export! Paid for in good Spanish gold, that is! Weve been getting them pretty steadily since 1967, Id say, and they just keep getting better.
And, boy did we have something to celebrate in 1967! Why are you looking at me with those blank eyes? Thats the year when the great prophet Paul finished his pilgrimage to Madrid, and overseen the construction of Mahabodhi, the great shrine of our religion I mean, weve already got Dai Miao in Nottingham (?) for those Confucian dudes, so why not one for us the worlds oldest religion?
Though it was a shame when St.Paul climbed the newly built shrine, slipped and cracked his skull. Still, he will reincarnate sooner rather than later, so its all good, right?
So, come last year, 1969. We get this whole radio thing pretty well covered now, right? So this guy trumps it by getting not just sound but the picture to transmit over the waves! Calls it Mass Media. Now theyve got a whole big project planned where they are going to shoot pictures in motion in London just got to finish a factory first. You, however, may not live to see it, especially if you keep drinking that wine in such rates and dont share it with the rest!
Oh, and some politicians decided that we should have a government above all others a United Nations, if you like. Theyve started building it down in Edo. Im not sure its such a great idea, personally its going to be a tug-of-war between us and that Persian bastard, but weve got Kublai on our side, and Peters got some theological disagreements with Persians so he might vote for us too. Oh, both English and Japanese will vote against us on principle, so odds are that the whole affair will be just a waste of time.
What else? Nobody else figured out how to build radio transmitters so far, so we are good there. Out of the five major powers, everyone except us is governed by a bunch of religious nutcases (vodka-drinking religious nutcases in case of Russians, which is arguably worse).
Oh, and the scientists are now investigating something called Computers, but its just a ruse so we will build them laboratories (although they do claim that Genetics will be the next best thing!)
The year is 1970, and life is good!

Cyrus declared war on Kublai in the middle of my turnset. Because of our defensive pak we declared war on Cyrus. Curiously, Toku also declared on Cyrus. Maybe he had a defensive pak with Kublai also...?
Cyrus built the Pentagon 9 turns before us unfortunately. I did turn down research for 4 turns for upgrades. We have 3000 gold saved up so use as necessary.
Cyrus's destroyers are pillaging all of our fishing nets, nothing we can do with our frigates.
I rushed the UN with a Great Engineer hoping we could win a diplomatic victory before Cyrus drops a stack and takes one of our cities.

Were the elections on the last turn of your set? I htink 60% of 835 is a little over 500 votes. You'll need one more guy on board.

I guess after what ya'll did to Toku, there's no chance of getting him to your side since you've already got the same enemy bonus??

Actually, we might be able to sway him. Don't take my word for it but I don't think relations are too bad with him. IIRC we didn't raze any of his cities. Maybe if we can gift him a few techs and get the "+4 good trading" bonus he will be polite. We will have to check that out.
Got it. I'll either play tonight or tomorrow as I'm not in my top form right now, as can be seen here - http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=168050
Hey, man! Remember me? We went to college together. Called each other dude, talked rubbish all the time. What idiots we were, yeah?
So, what happened since? Well, in the year 1980 we find Cyruss destroyers pillaging our seas, and we can do nothing because we have no oil. Well, we do, but we cant build a road to the well silly rules, eh? Now, weve got another source of oil in the sea, but we need Plastics for that. So, our chiefs do a deal with the Russians we give them Medicine and Radio, and they give us Industrialism, some gold, and they stop trading with the bloody Persians.
We also teach Democracy to Japanese and open borders with them, in hopes theyll back us in the United Nations.
With Industrialism in pocket, we spend the next six years researching Plastics. We stand guard on the shores, just waiting for the Persians to come, but they never do. Instead, in 1985, they offer peace and demand Liberalism for it. Yeah, no problem we need some time.
Peter comes along and asks for Computers just before the elections, so I give it to him. He doesnt vote for us, but switches to free religion two turns later, so should be even friendlier with us now. Tokugawa doesnt like us still. Peter later comes along and offers Communism for Mass Media. We might need Spies, so I agree. In retrospect, that was a bad idea, since Peters now the tech leader, and might win the Space Race.
Then, in 1989, Alexander declares war and lands a small force in England (well, former England, more like) a year later. We are woefully understaffed there, so it might be a VERY GOOD idea to drop into Universal Suffrage/Nationhood and rush some soldiers there.
The best news is that we have got Oil connected, and the Japanese island is ready to take advantage of it Tokyos building a Battleship, while Osaka will finish Ironworks next turn. We are studying Robotics, so should have Mech. Infantry pretty soon.
The Persians have been beating up our good friends the Mongols razed one city, conquered another.
So what do we do now? Well, it seems like the only course of action is to gather our forces and go kill some people. We can start with Alexander, conquer his homeland, return to war with Cyrus. Maybe even beat up Peters capital if his space race starts to look threatening nobody leaves this planet till we say so!
Hey, man! Remember how stupid we were? How naïve? What silly things we got up to back then? Can you still remember those wasted days?
I just wish they would come back again.

(0) 1990 Switch to Nationalism to make sure things don't get sketchy in former England. Of course then I realize you can't draft in a city unless it is 10% of your nationality, and of course none of the former English cities are.
(1) 1991 We are wealthy.
(2) 1992 UN Election:
If only we could get Toku to vote for us. We could put all cities on max growth but I don't think we would get the votes we need.
Kill all of Alex's units in former England without loss.
(3) 1993 Killing Alex's frigates with upgraded transports.
(4) 1994 We build Hollywood.
Persia razed a mongolian city. Kill 2 frigates but lose a battleship at 74% odds against Greek Destroyer. Now our only source of oil will be pillaged.
(5) 1995 Do some major major major micromanagement in our cities.
(6) 1996 Cyrus makes peace with Kublai (along with toku later in my turns).
(8) 1998 Robotics comes in and I start on flight so we can get to rocketry to build the ship (I presume we are going for a space race victory).
(10) 2000 The UN votes this in....
I emptied the treasury in the beginning upgrading units. Some trades have filled it back up though. I suggest we sign peace with Alex when he will talk to us. We need to hook up our oil and won't be able to until we get peace with him.
We should start the space elevator btw.
We are pretty much neck and neck at everything with Cyrus except power...
