Here is the save:
http://gotm.civfanatics.net/saves/sgotm8/Bede_SG008_AD1405_01.SAV
I am not a happy old monk when I open the save. Too much money in the treasury, we have an MPP with Japan, and a Military Alliance against China and Rome, the MPP includes Ivory from Japan and gpt from us
, the MPP has eight or nine to run and the alliances have 19, 90% corrupt towns building marketplaces and using way too much food, libraries and universities missing from the core, and most of the work force ganged on two mountains outside the usuable terrain building roads. :shakehead
So here we go:
First thing to do is get of the cash by rushing some needed projects, then go looking for Steam.
Liz offers the best price out there and I don't want to feed the Japanese beast anymore anyway and Liz is getting three of our luxuries for shump change, anyway. So it's let make a few deals
Can't forget Lizzie's cousin, the Dane, as he has something we need too
And finally I buy Lizzies's incense for cash.
And that was pretty much that, running rails in the core and a mainline out to the provinces, managing the citizens to get the optimum research output (electricity in 10 with positive cash) which meant fiddling the assignments every time a town grew or a university or library came on line, fighting off a Roman invasion (a single cavalryman who killed two of ours before dying), paying off the Dane
who declared war in an alliance with Rome a few turns later, the bum.
And then we get this news
Looks like Liz is taking over the top dog slot as Toku is taking it hard, the Romans have taken his horses and coal and at least two towns.
The budget takes careful management right now but if all goes well we will get healthy in a hurry in about ten as it looks like only Rome has researched Electricity and everyone else is researching the government knowledge. England now has all the money in the world, most of it ours, and we should be able to relieve her of it soon.
The rail gangs concentrated on the core towns trying to jack output by railing high shield tiles. Keep them at it until you have squeezed every shield you can out of the mountains and plains. Cut the forests if that will help with a building project, then mine and rail. Look for long food towns and cut it back to 24 by mining (that applies only to the cities south of the mountains. Every north of that should be watered until half the population are either tax guys or scientists depending on which gives the best output of cash/research. Anything north of St Louis needs no buildings at all. Keep them building cannon as you can never have enough of those and you can always dump the shields for a worker or settler if you need one, or cash rush if there is enough in the kitty.
Resiopolis should be watered until the citizens can work the mines in the mountains.
Toku has ivory for sale if you need it. And you probably will as the towns in the south grow to city size.
Obligatory roster check
SpikeIt - gets to manage the ToE preparation
azzaman - skip to my lou
residuetiger - did okay. got a leader but I am a little concerned about the MPP. That could bite us if Toku gets to feeling his oats.
juballs2001 - Got the Romans and the Chinaman off the island. Nice. And bought us some breathing space with WW1
Bede - sold the farm but got us Steam
