Preturn: Scope out the lay of the land. Move one of the 4 muskets in Dallas to Denizli, which only had a Cav. Rush mktplc in Houston. All looks good.

Ottomans Electricity

Babs Industrialization
Japan Industrialization / Electricity
As our gpt is worthless to the Ai for now, I will need to use cash money. I am not very experienced at tech trading, so hopefully I will not weed. Here goes...
* Electricity from Iroqois for 3076 + WM
* Ind from Babs for Elect + 375 + WM
* F/A + Nationalism + WM + 4g from Bismark for Elect + Ind. Bismark wanted the same for nationalism without F/A (freebie I guess). Joan wanted 800g in addition to the tech trades.
* Turns out Joannie has communism and won't trade at all. Otherwise we are caught up in tech. 4 techs (albeit one a useless one - F/A) for $3447.
* Change all Cathedral building cities + Wash + NY to factories
* Upgraded about 15 or so muskets to rifles
