Suggestions for this game?

[spinalcracker]

I am presently doing my first Prince level game. Please check out this save and see if you have any suggestions. I was at first trying for a space race victory, although I am the points leader, Incans are coming on fast. The situation is the early 1700's and the world is at war. The Incans seem to be the leaders of the Axis powers along with Louis, Kubla Khan, and Peter. Although I, England, would be the tech leader among the Allies, I do not have a powerful army. My allies are Rome and Egypt and America. Mansa Musa seems to be in the middle. Currently I am at war with France(along with Egypt and Romans) and Mongolia(along with Mansa Musa). Caesar has the biggest army but has a long march to get to France. Roosevelt is so far useless and I have not seen him leave his island.

Like I said, I was trying for space race, but have some question marks. I am also worried about Huayna pulling of a diplomatic victory. I included the last save so you can look at the situation yourself. I know I have played a far from perfect game, but can't really go back now.

My ideas right now are to research Constitution, Corporation, and Assembly line next. This would give me some powerful infantry to beat up on Mongolia. France has just come off a major victory, holding Heliopolis, which I weakened greatly but could not finish off (notice cannons and cavalry outside borders). So France will have to wait until I am finished with Mongols for now. Peter can be destroyed at any time (he has like 4 cities) and I might take him out after I hurt Mongols. After Assembly line, I will B-line to rocketry and hope to beat Huayna to apollo program.

At least these are my plans. This post is getting long, so if you have time to check my save and throw me some pointers. It would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any criticism.

You might want to include a more recent save unless all you want is advice on where to settle.

Sorry for the confusion Mulholland. I see how the save title can be misleading. That was my orginal save, and I just save over it everytime. Thats why it says 4000 BC. This actually is the most recent save somewhere around 1705 AD.

I don't have much to add, it sounds like a good plan to me. In my experience, Huayna prefers to space race rather than build the UN. You have a good base of cities, I'd say you just need to build up your military and take a few more to have a broader research and industrial base--not to mention a buffer for your best, core cities. Those Mongol cities look ripe for the plucking, especially considering your tech lead on Kublai.

Once peace settles in, shore up relations with your neighbours, change civics to Representation (later, US), Free Speech, Emancipation, and Free Religion for the commerce and research boosts. FR will actually help a lot with diplomatic relations.

In addition to Sisiutil's suggestions I would add that you may want to consider finishing off Peter - at least the cities he has left on your continent.

Thank you very much for your input Sisiutil and vampy.
