Preturn: Some of our cities are size 19 (I think that's OK, since
I will be killed by T-Hawk only if one of it reaches 22

)
To prevent this some MM: Rearange tiles in Konigsberg to max shield, stop growth at size 19.
No matter what I try, I can't get Berlin to 100 spt
because Hannover needs one tile to stay at the current size, building a unit
every other turn and Munich needs another to stay at 100 spt.
Nuremberg is at 110 spt, too much for Panzers.
I give one tile to Munich, allowing me to rearange the tiles in Berlin.
Now I can give to former-Berlin tiles to Frankfurt, mine a grassland
and voila: Frankfurt's shield output is raised from 66 to 80 spt, one art. every turn
(same in Berlin, we don't have enough anyway).
We steal RADIO from France

,
saving us a lot of money (France is still the only one who has it).
Radio to Persia for Amph. and 43 gpt.
Atomic Th. to Arabs for some gpt and all his gold, also to England for 101 gold
(Could have got additional 17 gpt, but didn't want to risk a ruined rep. for a few gpt).
We enter the Modern Age,

our free tech is Computer, Xerxes got Fission.
Early turns:
Persia declares war on France. Interesting.
Maybe we can use this to our advantage.
France now has Fission, good. That's breaking Xerxes monopol.
She has nothing to offer for Computers,
so Computers to Xerxes for Fission, all his gpt (324) and all his cash (only 38).
We have a source of Uranium near Leipzig

The only visible French source is near Avignon. If we go for a limited war, we may deny
Uranium to France, which would be very useful.
Damned pollution at Frankfurt prevents the every-turn art. this turn.
Our income is now 1080 gpt.
I build mainly Panzers and Artillery in the core, two Stocks and two police
stations in second-ring cities (Two of them remain to be rushed).
Next leader will have to decide if we want labs,
but with our huge shield-otput they can be built quickly anyway.
Late turns:
I plant a spy in France and in Persia, maybe helpfull.
The French offensive army is weak, we could strike now.
But I'm an old warmonger and the team has decided to go peacefully
so I will hand over the decision to T-Hawk.
Continued building Panzers, upgraded almost all of our Infantry to MI.
Persia is now in Monarchy. I stopped after 8 turns. We are prepared for a limited war
against France. We would gain a second source of Uranium (their only one),
First and second ring cities (a few settlers are also ready), cripple one
of the remaining opponents permanently and start our GA.
I didn't sell Computers to France because of the technical advantage the MIs will
give us and also because she never had more than ~45 gpt available.
I didn't buy here luxes, which we could in the case of a peacefull game.
Our wokers are grouped in 3 stacks covered by MI, 1-2 pollutions per turn on average.
I'm a teamplayer and this is T-Hawk's game.
If we really don't want a war against weakened France (still at war with Persia)
we could go for the 'Hotrod-plan', triggering our GA against England.
Either way, our army is at a reasonable strength to handle different cases, giving
T-Hawk several options.
