Nice work MP!
Lizzie isn't going down easy, but she is still going down...

EDIT - Should have offered her some Cooper's?
Roster:

Mad Professor - Just played!

@rrau - As Gator will be out of town until the end of the week, if you have the time this week, please post and we can swap you if you wish to play around 10 turns? If you do not, that is fine as well.
The power graph tells a story though. Our power has nearly doubled during my turnset despite us taking such a hammering from Liz in the last few turns. I think some might wonder what happened with a jump like that...
Let them wonder. I enjoyed the graph's curve!
Since we are close to Artillery we probably need to discuss if we reduce research when we reach it. I find it tempting to convert Beijing to a production city transforming all towns and villages into work shops and adopting State Property to keep food level even. It would mean that the production capacity of Beijing is more than doubled. Then we can build the Globe and start whipping away the unhealth and get even more hammers from speedy regrowth. We should be able to build 7-8 artillery units every 10 turns with this setup.
This will be an interesting discussion! As Lizzie has gotten to Chemistry (Fred also has Chemistry and Julius is looking to be a bit more formidable?), do we need to head for Assembly Line and Infantry to ensure a speedy win, or perhaps that is overkill? Artillery will sure take the starch out of their shirts...
Next build a caravel to upgrade to frigate (not to attack with but for protection of sea resources and have available in the future). Probably should move our frigate home and out of harms way. Can we bombard once before weighing anchor?
Yes, we can bombard before we move. I think we will probably need another Frigate. What we really need are about 4 Rifles and our Cannon healed.
If we move culture slider to 10%, it does not delay artillery and gives two additional happiness. That, plus getting ivory from Asoka when needed, will allow us to upgrade two more archers (after moving two tiles toward England) to badly needed grens (can get gold from Asoka and via trade).
Yes, that will work. As there are no horses around, Asoka doesn't really need War Elephants.
Attack wounded English unit adjacent to York with 4/5 gren and promote to gunpowder.
There is a 7/5 waiting to be promoted. I agree that pinch is the best promotion now. There is alos a 4/2 that we can promote to CBT1 and, after he wins, to Pinch, should he survive the counter by the English Gren on the Marble Hill. Perhaps he won't attack?
EDIT2 - I think our next objective should be London! Lizzie seems to be weakened enough. If we can get London, that may end the threat to our sea resources.
