It's nice to hear that some other people have a work ethic that is just as bad as mine, Renata
I'm posting this from work...
Good looking turn. To imagine that we were saying how peaceful the game had been a while ago, and now it's awash in bloodshed! I just hate it when *one* civ streaks ahead of the pack in technology on Deity. Oh well, we have a strong enough economy to compete.
The way I see it, there are a couple of approaches we could take:
- buy techs off France and/or research some ourselves. What we've been doing so far.
- try to plant a spy in France and steal techs for ~3000 each instead of buy them for ~7000 each.
- start a war with France but not fight ourselves, getting others in with alliances. Research ourselves and try to get ahead in techs.
We'd love to get tanks before most others, and then take out some of those border oil supplies with them, and then hold them waiting for MAs. We could possibly take out Japan and/or the Ottomans with tanks.
I'm thinking a combination between strategies 2 and 3 above could be good: plant a spy, and if it fails and she declares on us, then we try option 3.
