agree with peace deal.
agree with AL
for settlers, the dot map i proposed is attached.
build WS: before WS, build rails everywhere. Then proceed with WS but try not to cut irrigations chain to maize/wheat/rice
for war declaration, it should not happen during your set. You need to regroup, move a fleet near new york, then only declare with 2 front: new york with slow units and buffalo with cavalery.
build only cavalery now i think.
Start with stacking a pack of gold (2 turns at 100% cash) as executive cost money when converting cities.
for free speech, not sure it is beneficial as capital gain a huge amount of money right now and will be more and more like a gold monster.
cap bonus is right now 91*0.5 *3 = 136 gold.
we have 25 towns (or wana town) right now that mean we need a medium bonus of *2.7 to break even.
I don't think we can acheive that outside of cap.
my conclusion, we should stay in bureau.
should we test that with a quick test while we will be on revolution with a save and reload? is that ethical?
for nationhood, we don't need it but it is cute with AL.
according to golden age, i say, we wait for AL then we launch GA to speed up factory/powerplant production.
after AL, road to planes

or electricity
