Wow
So long with so few comments
Well I'm sure we all expect Wacken to do a perfect turnset, but FWIW here's my thoughts
Money
Not much avail - total of just over 100g with AI
Monguls have 41g - if we part with Monarchy
Korea have 36g - for Theol or a lux
Spain have 15g - ? for Theol -> get them building Sistine
Persia have 11g - will also give chiv for Chemistry
other than that its less than 10g
At risk of
, I suggest we donate all avail luxes to stimulate more commerce from the AI. Whilst I agree the AI is likely to research little if anything else for us (I still think it will research RP) at least this would give it more money to pay us for techs to support a higher tech rate (our current 100% science is not sustainable unless AI finds more money)
Specifically I would suggest
Spices to Persia and Babylon
Gems to Korea, Babylon & one of America, Germany or Greece
Wool to Ottomen, Persia and Babs
Ivory to Korea, Persia, Babs and 2 of Russia, Maya, England or Carthage
War plans
We currently rank as strong to everyone except Romans (average)
Portuguese war in progress - moving to Spain next. Selling Spain Theol may get one of their cities in wonder mode reducing unit production - ? worth it.
Portuguese appear to be sending pillagers into former Indian lands. If we block tile 2NE of Bombay, then unblock it, they may dance back and forwards whilst we take their cities. I note Portugal has Invention so anticipate some LBs and MDIs.
What's the plan for the 2 horses in Bombay? Currently they cost us 6gpt but do nothing - we need chivalry and upgrading them to knights so they can help gain more cities for the Spooks cause.
The southern continent concerns me that we have little planning in process.
AFAIK the Arabs dont appear to have been involved in any wars (also Iroquois?) and hence will likely have large stacks of units.
Our 8 units on board dromons approaching Arabia appear insufficient unless we can be sure Arab units are a long way from home.
I think we need to dow immed, ally Greeks so Arabs head thier units towards Sparta which appears to be 4 or 5 turns away from their western city (although there appears to be coast to east of Sparta so may even be further) and 7 or 8 from their eastern city
We then need to wait at least 5, maybe even 8 turns before attacking Arabs with dromon bombard support. This gives time to bring further reinforcements from Paris region (caravel in Paris can get to eastern Arab city in min 5 turns) increasing odds of success. I think we may need to keep our dromons out of view of Arabs otherwise they may not move all their surplus units if they feel threatened.
I note Greeks have taken Russian city of St P - Russians may be in danger of elimination - not sure what we can do to help other than getting Greeks into war v Arabs
City plans
Constan - 1 turn workers
Teo, Teno, Osaka and Kyoto - unit until markets, courts just before hospital builds
Thebes - ? caravel after next MDI to transport the idle units to war zone
Delhi - uni then ? market
Bombay - units to support war effort then workers
Orleans. This one is interesting. I started considering the mechanics of adding workers (in caravel on way to Paris) in 2 turns time, then decided to get best use need to slot in lib. Then it dawned on me we cant grow it more than size 2 unless we use an expensive (3gpt) mp as it has no connection to lux other than its own wool. Options I see are to add 1 worker ( so grows quicker) and remainder connect up with Paris whilst Orleans builds lib then can build workers with occ MDI thrown in. Lib gives it access to another wool and 2 BGs. I cant see how we could do 1 turn workers as 4 wool and 2 BGs reg 4 irrigation to get 10fpt, leaving 14 shields post GA - insufficient with 38% wastage and likely to increase with further captures (unless we can get WLTKD? hmm, maybe might work if it decreases wastage by 30%). This might be worth investing some effort into as the sooner Paris is able to jump from size 12 to 21 the better.
Trondheim - lib and workers sound about right - hard to predict effect of court as corruption will increase with time and further captures - Portuguese and Spanish)
Another concern I have.
With a number of Sistine Chapel builds in progress, what happens if they are not completed by the age change? We are then left gifting ToG to scientific AIs leaving possibility of cascade to Newtons before Paris can build it. I guess we have limited options, either risk it or we build Newtons in another city with sig less science benefit. Any thoughts?
galley east of Paris!" or discussions on when to attack Portugal or what to research next - I know I should have started it, but with Wacken's great plans (no irony, they are really 
) I had both the feeling that all was discussed and those topics where so minor that I didn't want to bother you with my stupid questions...
