Right, I see now that 6R has a lack of happiness. I think we should build a market there to help with that.

THe coal hammers will help to increase science too Folket. (well, need to check the ROI for each city still but...)
Eiffel Tower: We need to evaluate its build time to decide how fast we want electricity. I might have time tmr evening for that.
Corps: I don't think so, we have very few ressources. I haven't checked yet, but we should take the first one on our tech path which use either a GM or a GS to create the headquarter. It may be obvious, but I don't want us to prey for a specific GP. (well I opened the save again now to check CC, I'd say Cereal looks good).
Improving science: Once the cities have grown, once we hire scientists and build science, it should be better
National Park? dunno, what's the ROI?
WS: yes, I would keep the forests for the Eiffel Tower.
CC: Yeah, after the uni imo.
Otherwise Good. We can build a partial Kremlin in Bibracte too as CP suggested, and we may want to build the IA whipping it into the Kremlin in 6W (sorry if I mess up cities, but you get it). Also I used one of our 2 Christian missionaries to send it to Russia (it all belongs to Mother Russia!
), you may want to build one during your set (or not, we still have time, but felt like mentionning it incase it went unnoticed)

Just a few comments. Take us a ways if you have the time.

When do we start on IA and Kremlin?
Right, of course we build Kremlin in 5W. I suggest we just slow build it for now. If anyone is getting Communism we can chop it.
National Park in Bib should allow us to grow the city to size 20 really fast allowing us to run scientists there. They are 20 beaker each. If we save 5 food a turn with national park that is 50 beaker a turn so return of investment is 6 turns to first order. Maybe 10 turns is a better estimate. I think national park is greater return than fail gold here. I guess we will need market for happiness
I suggest I play until Physics as we need to plan a GA at that time.

Go ahead!
Yes, please go ahead."
Appreciate the explanation for a NP in Bib. Makes sense now. What about building one in TC after the CA?
" I think national park is greater return than fail gold here." Not sure this is true if we are able to make multiple chops into fail gold for just one turn.
Using GScientist from Physics (along with GM) instead of GSpy will allow us to avoid running artists during our first GA in order to have three different GPs for our second GA.

What is a CA? Looking around I do not see the NP being better anywhere else. We could build it in IT or 5W for specialists but I think it would be delayed for too long.
I will play in 30-60 min.
CA is a mis-type of GA.
Thinking that with a factory and Ironworks and Industrial park there would be a need in TC.

Ah, yes. So, perhaps if there is no coal there, or would that be too late?

Spoiler Log :
Peter has somehow wrecked his economy. We will get Steel from him but unlikely to get anything else. I started to convert Bismark to Judaism. We should be able to get him to Friendly.
Should we just gift all our techs to everyone to increase the tech pace of the AIs? If we tech everything ourselves we will not be competitive.

“Peter has somehow wrecked his economy.” He settled four poor and distant cities.
“Should we just gift all our techs to everyone to increase the tech pace of the AIs? If we tech everything ourselves we will not be competitive.” I’d look for opportunities to sell them, of course, and we would need to hold onto some to trade for techs they research, but, other than someone else building the ETower, don’t see what we would be risking?
Do you want to continue playing? If not, here is the essence of my planning. Will fill out with feedback.
Tech path: RP>ST>AL>EL
Time for GA with a GSc and a GM. Cities to run specialists: Bib, CC, 6R, and CC
Which GPs are optimal to create?
Need one for Corp but perhaps from our next GA. (BTW, can we create Cereal Mills in IT even though it has no cereals in its area?)
Thinking we can speed research some if we get superfluous GPs: GSCs could bulb Electricity and/or Refrigeration; GM Industrialism, GE with Electricity (if we don’t have Steel). At least that’s the way I think it works in Vanilla. Needs to be double checked.
Do we want to put some spy points on Bis so we will know his research when we get him to Friendly?
Concur with getting to Friendly with Bis. You are not building more Jewish missionaries, so will two converted cities (making three) be sufficient. Do we want a backup missionary? Target cities: Cologne and Hamburg? We could go to Free Religion for a while within a GA (not going to be building much then). Thinking that would help but would the Friendly last after we switched back to OR?
Whip barracks in IT into harbor.
Why UofS in CC? Is it for failed gold or science from religious buildings? Why wouldn’t a Customs House be about the same cost and more valuable, especially if we go to Free Market?
Propose building CHs in CC and in BB (whipping Jewish Temple into it). Workers on BB forests – are they farming and chopping to completion?
5W: Chop one forest into Kremlin, to take two turns off finish date, and build CH
6R: Globe
Bib: Complete Jewish Temple and build science
Aqueduct in TC, then CH;

I am assuming the UoS is for gold in CC Cactus, we can't build more than 6 wonders and 1 corp headquarter.

We need to keep a GM for cereal. I would not use the one from economics. We just need to have one ressource iirc Pete, not necessarily in the city radius though.

I think we could build the Spiral Minaret for fail gold in Bibracte.
Custom house: failed gold from UoS is worth approx 2400 beakers and costs 275 hammers. CH is 180 hammers and gives 3 commerce per turn. I cannot see the CH being better before 200 turns.
TC still lacks its uni.

"I am assuming the UoS is for gold in CC Cactus, we can't build more than 6 wonders and 1 corp headquarter." Yes, of course. Thanks.
"We need to keep a GM for cereal. I would not use the one from economics. Can't we use a different GM for a different corp if we have to? Looked at specialist cities and creating another GM during this GA is clearly problematic, but, if we save the GM and use the GSc and GSpy, it will to be awkward to create the two different GPs in addition to a Gscientist (from Bib) that are necessary for a third GA. Thinking that running merchant specialists this GA (everywhere, at least until we create one, except in Bib) is much better than running artists. Even if we fail to create a GM this GA, we can probably create a GM in our final GA.
We just need to have one ressource iirc Pete, not necessarily in the city radius though." So, if we have, say, wheat connected from anywhere in our civ, that's sufficient?
Waiting for folket. Fine with him continuing to play; or, he can give feedback and I will flush out my plan, including details on running specialists.

A CH will yield about 14 gpt, while a uni will yield about 10 beakers per turn, and the CH is a little cheaper. Am I missing something here?

Concur about abundance of fail gold. Getting the GPs you want is difficult We have not been running GMs in our specialist cities, so other GPs are real probabilities.
