Pre-flight: Sold of all our coal plants, as since we built Hoover the only thing they're contibuting is maintenance costs and pollution. Changed Nicaea to a mass transit system, since it's getting pretty big.
We do have enough gold to try stealing Fission from the Iroquois, but I think I'm going to hold off for a couple of turns and see if the Arabs or somebody turns up with it. Besides, I'm not really eager to provoke a war with Hiawatha until we have a bit more of an air force.
In 1808, our rubber deal with Izzy expires, but she's willing to renew it if I throw in 9 gpt, so I do it.
In 1810, after building railroads under a couple of our airfields that had been neglected

, I renegotiate the furs-for-coal deal with Hiawatha. He's willing to give us dyes, ivory, and some pocket change for furs, and since we're having happiness problems I decide to take it. I know we're considering a war with the Iroquois, but if it does start anytime soon it'll probably be because we get caught stealing, so I don't think this trade will be an issue.
Incidentally, Tubby, to answer your question - for some reason there weren't any improvements under a couple of our airbases, but I fixed that, so they're actually not hurting our productivity.
In 1812, the Incas want to renegotiate our gems-for-furs deal. Apparently the 2 gpt Pachacuti was throwing in was just too much, but he's willing to renew it straight up.
We also get word that the Iroquois have added a couple of spaceship parts (docking bay and something else), and our spy tells us they have another in progress. Another reason we might want to burn Salamanca to the ground in a little while.
In that same turn, Constantinople completes the Apollo Program. So I order up a couple of spaceship parts (cockpit in Connie, engine in Caesaria).
In 1814, the Iroquois drop off a settling party on the northeast tip of our island - I had noticed the transports sailing by, and I thought I had put a unit on every space within reach, but I missed one. I'm not sure I'm willing to go to war over a potential city there, but this seems like a good time to try stealing Fission - we'll either get a tech, or I'll be free to push the Iroquois back into the sea.
So I go for a careful steal, and we now know how to make stuff glow in the dark.

We have two sources of uranium - one already hooked up near Varna, and one north of Adrianople that will be hooked up next turn.
In 1816, our gpt deal from the Arabs expires, so I sell him Computers for 187 gpt. I was going to throw in aluminum, but he's already paying everything he has to offer.
At some point in the last couple of turns, the Iroquois built an engine for their spaceship.
In 1822, the Arabs demand aluminum. I probably should have just thrown it into the deal. I suspect he will happily declare war just to get out of that big payment if I refuse, and I don't want the hassle, so I give in. We don't really have anything better to do with that spare aluminum anyway.
On the same IT, Izzy shows up and wants us to pay her 8 gpt for a MPP. Umm, no.
The Iroquois have developed Synthetic Fibers. That'd be sort of nice to have. But we don't really need it for a couple of more turns, when the spaceship parts we're currently building finish, so I'll leave the decision about whether to try to steal it up to the next player.
In 1824, Hiawatha demands our TM and some pocket change for peace. I can't really be bothered saying no, so I give in. But I quickly find out that I might as well have stood up to him, as an Iroquois fleet shows up from the west, heading straight in the direction of Constantinople. I strongly suspect we're about to be invaded.
This looks like a good point to turn the game over, so I'll stop a turn early. All of our military and navy is unmoved, so feel free to rearrange however you want. Watch the nuclear sub to the NW (and there are a couple more that have sailed off to the east, so keep an eye out there too).
I built the SS cockpit, and we have two more parts finishing in a couple of turns. We have plenty of gold, so I wasn't too worried about running up our unit costs, and I've been building military in the other cities. We shouldn't have much trouble repulsing the invasion and ridding our homeland of those two Iro cities. As for taking Salamanca, I can't say - I really have no idea how much military it takes to invade a deity-level AI's home island.
Oh, one other thing - we have two luxes coming in from Hiawatha, so watch the happiness if war does break out.
I believe that makes the roster:
eldar - on deck, or possibly up
Tubby Rower
Mach
dman
Minute Man - just played
Bede - swapped with MM this round
A-K - up? or skipped?
