Perhaps CP has already gifted Steam Power to Justinian? That would explain why we can't give it to him.
Maybe. I'll road the coal and gift Justinian a worker and see if he can hook it.

Found this in the thread.
Then there is this post. Doesn't mention gifting of Steam Power?
And this post to close out the set. CP, you may have gifted SP, but I seem to be missing where it was written?
EDIT - My impression is that CP did give it to Justinian, but I'm not entirely sure.

Why don't we trade for Justinians sugar before he gets any funny ideas about trading with someone else?
Good luck with the next part of the turn set

Good Luck SCT!
Please keep an eye on Stalin. He is pleased with Shaka and, should he decide to declare, there is a Spear of his wandering down by the city west of Cuzco, which is garrisoned by one of our Chariots.
Good Hunting.

I've finished my turnset part way through T141. Save is up and turn report to follow.
Wang is dead and HC is left with one city. The war with Shaka is begun with two cities captured.

I guess they're like missionaries. When another corp is present in a city (Sushi in this case), the chance of success is less than 100%.

Aye, I mentioned that in my corp overview a few pages back.
Nice work SCT! 
Got to go and look at the save yet but the write up sounds very good!
Updated Roster:
Frederiksberg - UP
leif - On Deck
Cactus Pete
ShannonCT - just played
PaulisKhan - moving to a land far, far away...
Grover22 - Ticking up the participation!
rrau - How are you doing?

Only roster question I have is whether PK's schedule will allow him to take a set after Fred or should they switch? Up to you guys??

Some thoughts on the next turnset:
1) We should give strong consideration to building Ironworks in Athens now instead of Seoul. With forge-factory-plant-lab, Seoul can still chop an engine in 2 turns, and Athens could build the other in 2-3 turns by managing overflow correctly and changing tile improvements at the end. Ironworks in Athens now will shave a couple turns off 3GD and give us more cash overflow on Mining reps.
2) We have 10+ workers in Korean territory. They're main task should be building rails over any tile that will be converted to lumbermill, specifically Seoul's forests. Then when Seoul comes out of revolt, convert forests to lumbermills and use chariots/buildings for happiness. If there is time, prebuild workshops over the lumbermills. Seoul needs factory, coal plant, observatory, and lab.
3) Spam Mining Inc as fast as possible and acquire more resources. Spread Sushi to Sippar so it can work 6 more plains workshops.
4) We have 12 paratroopers in Africa, 24 in Asia, and 1 in Australia. We can attack Stalin and Shaka simultaneously. 12 paratroopers is a bit light in Africa. We either need to send a force from Asia through the Middle East to attack Shaka from the northeast (maybe capture Smolensk on the way), or build a few more paratroopers at home and airlift them into Africa.
5) I got that barb city in Australia from 3 defenders down to 1, and then another showed up. I killed another defender, but now the para needs several turns to heal. If another defender shows up, we might want one more para. While we're waiting, we could move the settler in Athens toward Australia by galleon.
6) HC needs to be destroyed or our Incan cities are going to have constant unhappiness.
7) We'll probably have to self research Divine Right if we want to build Versailles.

Pauliskhan is forced to stand down from the deck. Assuming my work visa comes through I'll be moving in less than a week.
I've changed the roster.
Don't know if there is time for you, but I can slot you ahead of Fred if you wish to play one more set? I'm sure you have plenty to do, but offer it if you wish?
EDIT - I see we got our Great Scientist!
Time to found Std. Ethanol in Akkad?
Good luck and keep in touch, PK. (Pleased to know another Bill Watterson fan. Gave my son the three volume bound edition for his 23rd birthday. He would read C&H but almost nothing else as a child.)

Isn't it more convenient to build the Stasis Chamber last? Corinth has more base hammers than Athens (or will have when the WW goes away). IW there will bring more hammers in total but probably less in the last few turns because Athens could be altered radically (Given that we can spare the worker turns). Which is more important?
I will post a plan sometime during the weekend and then play in the beginning of next week. I guess we are still on schedule to finish before 27th of July assuming that we have 40 turns left in the game.
ShannonCT

Yes, Genetics-Ecology would be the last two techs. Engines are the most expensive parts considering they get no resource bonus. Stasis Chamber also needs to be planned carefully at the end. Life support can be chopped somewhere one turn before all the other remaining parts finish. It will only take 7-8 forests so it could be built in any city with some forests.
I was thinking IW in Athens because it would allow us to build 3GD faster and bring more hammers to all cities on the home continent. 3GD can only be built on a river.
