Doubt Charles will capitulate before we take Prague. In any event, Prague will be a priority.should we be worried about culture pressure from Prague flipping Aachen? That would be my only concern about quick capitulation of HRE.
If we do not think we need Military Science, then Banking would seem logical as we need to build six Banks (1200 Hammers) to build Wall Street.No thoughts regarding research after MM?

Another question is whether we will go for Red Cross, as that requires six Hospitals at 200 hammers each.
Oh, almost forgot, Versailles has not been built yet either. Do we need to research Divine Right?
Gandhi could be building it. Let's not start Versailles until we take a look at what G's building or decide that we can't afford to. So, now planning to go with Banking next, but that's just one turn. What next?
I think this is a possibility. Nice catch.If we can get another GM from X-ville, researching Medicine AND Refrigeration seems like the way to go. Can we change one coastal tile to a Merchant in X-ville so we can get a GP faster there.

Before I forget, what was that quest we got a long time ago and when does it expire? Didn't we need to settle on 10 land masses, or something like that, to get a Great Prophet? If Gandhi doesn't build the Islamic Holy Shrine soon, then we will have to gear up for that too. Probably the least of our problems atm...![]()
Yes, if Boudica wont trade Banking, we'll have to do it ourselves soon. Banking, then Economics, then Medicine?
If we can get another GM from X-ville, researching Medicine AND Refrigeration seems like the way to go. Can we change one coastal tile to a Merchant in X-ville so we can get a GP faster there. Will do, but when we get out of Pacfism, it will go slowly.
We might be able to get Versailles, or if not Versailles then DR, from Gandhi. Will wait.
Isn't that 4 more turns away. You could stop there.
How do you select which Great People will be consumed when you start a Golden Age. Looks to me as though we should use the Great Spy and the Great Merchant. I've never done this before...![]()
I did some testing of this.I wonder if we need to put them on the same tile and join them together before hitting the GA button. We don't want to use the Artist for a GA. Otherwise, maybe we need to research Corp and found Jewelers before setting off the GA.
No experience with this to offer.I had a look at the save.
Charlemagne wont talk to us now. Interesting. He was willing to negotiate ealier, which surprised me. The XML says there is an 8 turn delay after declaration of war before he will talk to us, but I've found that this can be overridden by capturing enough cities. Capturing Prague might just do the trick. I think it might be best to let Charlemagne keep cities like Pisa and Ulm so we have a buffer against Greece and Rome. That was my thinking too. I only moved units toward those cities in desperate hope that the threats might induce Charles to not send his HAs after our two helpless cuirs. When we declare war on Greece/Rome, we can gift all of our vassals all of our military techs so they don't start losing cities. Good idea.
It looks like CP has started moving troops in position to declare on Gandhi.That is what I was doing, but the birth of a GP might argue against that if he is indeed being sent toward Hun. Airships stationed in Pisa would be in range of Delhi. Airships stationed in Tolosa, Vermalion, and Roman cities can reach other Indian cities. Gandhi should be ours by the end of the next turnset.
I see a Great Engineer was born in Cumae (Augustus). It would be nice if Augustus would build another wonder for us. He might research DR and build Versailles. Or we could research it for him and give it to him. Or we could research Constitution and Democracy and gift him those so he could build the Statue of Liberty. You're seeing the glass as half full. I'm seeing it as half empty, in that there is now greater uncertainty as to what cities we will need to conquer when and what wonders to build or delay building.
I think it may soon be time to convert X-ville's towns to workshops and build the UN there. We're going to need X-ville to build either the UN or Hollywood. Ulundi can do the other. Since Ulundi still needs to finish IW and R&R, UN in X-ville sounds like the best option. Agree, the time seems right, though it would be nice to see what kind of forces Pericles can marshall before shutting off unit production in those two cities.

Good news. Then whichever civ we fight next, we (or they, or a non-vassal third party) need to get Versailles built before we accept capitulation from them.My testing confirms leif's findings on great people selected for a golden age.
How Dilpo victory works:
1. Build the UN, and at the beginning of the next turn, there will be a vote for secretary.
2. Every 6th turn after that vote, the secretary proposes a resolution.
3. Vassals always vote the same as the master.
4. Number of votes of each civ equals the total population of their cities. So, unlike for Dom'n, vassal contribution toward needed population is 100% (rather than 50% of land area)?
5. Victory requires 62% of the vote. Is there a problem of ending the game some 6th turn before you want to?
If we don't see Gandhi's Prophet next turn, he probably settled it. He has open borders with everyone. If so, we need to make plans to complete Blessed Sea. Yes, and probably should look 12 tiles from Delhi.
The only wonder Aufustus could conceivably build without our help is Versailles. Other techs are too far away.
