TODO:
Spread Christianity to Munich.
Send one missionary to IT. Make sure we have enough votes for victory, if it is close send missionaries to Russia.
Get GM and send him to IT. Should arrive turn 132. If we do not get a GM save and upload. If we get a GM revolt to slavery and continue.
Whip Heroic epic turn 137.
Whip drydock turn 138.
Whip Globe Theatre turn 138.
Whip industrial part turn 138.
Chop forests in 5w on turn 137.
Whip west point on turn 138.
Cathedral and Wall Street we just finish with normal production.
turn 225
Succesful spread in Munich on first try. We need 1 more vote for victory.
I decide to starve 3 pop in 6R to increase chances for GM.
turn 226
Privateer is gone.
turn 227
Russia needs superconductors. I'm happy to help out.
Cathedral finished.
turn 228
We get a great merchant.
Wall Street finished.
Made a defencive pact with Peter as it will keep Sioux from planing a war against us.
Revolt to slavery.
turn 229
I group three galleons to escort the GM.
turn 230
Sitting Bull demands Military Tradition. I yeild.
vote for religious leader. I abstain.
I realize 4 turns to vote is 5 turns. Victory date set to 240.
Trading Corporation to Germany has brought them to Friendly because of +1 "shared tech"
turn 231
As expected we get votes from both Germany and Russia. If we had votes we would win with 12 votes margin.
I found Cereal mills.
turn 233
HRE declare war on Arabia.
I give HRE Corporation, Communism and Steel to make peace.
turn 237
Christianity spread in Vladivostok.
If we do not get Bismarks votes for some reason we have 3 pop margin and we have whipping to do. But 3 pop margin should be about 12 pops we can whip away.

turn 240
Victory vote

I should have realized earlier that the vote is on turn -1 which is very strange. 0 turns to vote means one turn left. With that knowledge there was a shot at winning 7 turns earlier. But if Bismark had not become friendly and voted on us that would have delayed victory 20 turns.
Well played Cactus Pete and RRRaskonikov. I think the game was great fun in August and September when it heated up.

I have problems with my stomach quite often. It is not anything to worry about.

Well played to both of you.
My main contribution was to open the thread I guess 
.Sorry again for dropping out during a couple of months without notice, I had way too much on my hands (pitboss, notws, etc...) and I just have that much free time unfortunatly.

Game was fun and challenging. Appreciative that I had the opportunity to join the team.
Many thanks NZ. Hope you'll consider another one. Unfortunately, COVID isn't going away tomorrow.
I'd be interested to know what you two perceive to be reason the faster teams beat us.

I have not looked at their games. I may have time to do it tonight. I think we lost 7 turns from mistakes in the very end but that would probably not win us the game. We also overcommited to getting gold.
In general I think our strategy was sound but we could probably have executed it better. I would not be surprised if other teams found some way to play the first 100 turns better.

is a good summary.
Bulbing Mass Media on turn of victory vote and rushing Broadcasting Tower is Genius. That is a game changer.

Very impressive win for you guys especially considering the staffing issues, and missing out on a player of RRR’s caliber for much of the game. Great game!

Interested in having the discussion, but have been waiting for the summary RRR refers to. Is it posted?
Also, please explain this: "Bulbing Mass Media on turn of victory vote and rushing Broadcasting Tower is Genius. That is a game changer."

AP victory vote still goes thru if MM is bulbed on that same turn.
While NZ's intention was to make winning by AP impossible by adding a Broadcast Tower
Thanks, Fippy. Where is your summary?
