The Industrial Era!

We steal Biology. I consider this a double-whammy boost. Not only does it boost our SE economy through more food, but it also allows us to build the national park, for yet another boost.

We trade Biology to Caesar for Communism & 80g.
* Lets also trade it to Monte for:
Replaceable Parts
Economics
110g.
** Also, lets steal Medicine
Usually I don't think anything of this tech, because I prefer to stay in State-Property when I can.

Lets trade it to Caesar for:
Steam Power
360g.

1675
And now lets trade it to Monte for Steel.

1690
We steal Rail-Road.
Finally! Another production boost is on its way.

1695
We steal Corporation. (This one the Ais never like to trade)
Well, +1 trade-routes is better than nothing!

1725
We steal Assembly Line.
Great for production...
Great for defence...
Just terrible for pollution though...

1730
We trade Railroad to Monte for Physics and 30g.

1745
Some science pollution caused us to make a great-Scientist. That's alright, as we were planning to probably run a golden-age somewhere during the space-race. Just keep him for a while to see what develops.

1750
We steal Electricity.

1760
We trade it to monte for Rifling & 20g.
Yeah, I know it's a massive rip-off, but what else can you do.

1775
Another G-Spy pops.
*Also, we steal Industrialism.
Unfortunately... we discover that even our nicely well planned out land-grab from the beginning seems to have been almost a failed attempt. We simply don't have ANY aluminum.
Uughh, and looks like Justinian doesn't have any to trade with us either. Boy, are we in for it now! Maybe a miracle can happen and we'll discover some from a mine (like that's ever going to happen!).
Alright, we'll just have to forgo one of our favourite civics (SP) and just have to adapt environmentalism and go for the Aluminum. Co (what a waste!).
Note: National epic is being built in the city here where I have the NP. This is the best synergy I can give that city at the moment. In the meantime, it is mostly focusing on spy specialists, and even the northern coastal city is cranking out gold, in order to help me run the spy-slider at 100%
