T0 1400
Assess troop locations. Smiths is in Corinth. Dyes by Sparta further North. Tech situation is thusly:
Japan well, we can just ignore them. The rest of the players all have Fascism. Additionally,
Spain Corporation and 27g
Netherlands Were even in techs, zero gold, lacking Horses and Coal, Incense, Ivory
Russia Corporation and Electricity and 7,652. Also Furs. Lack Coal, Incense, Ivory
Greece Corporation and Electricity and 3,248. Lack Coal, Incense, Ivory
Will wait to see what we can extract from Greece for peace once we meet our mili objectives before engaging in trading. As a price check corps are WM + 2110 from Spain. Fascism WM+3127.
MM all over the empire, which takes forever. But, honestly most towns are in ok shape. Only a handful with serious excess food to turn specialist. Ise gets a harbor for growth. Ok, all sussed out, time to live down my moniker. Hit Enter.
IBT -- #$%!# Catherine declares war. Greece injures our troops in Inchon and takes New Caldiz (defeated the one rifle there with a cav).
T1 1405
Zoom some defenders toward New Saldiz, threatened by the Russians. Take out the counterattacking units by Inchon, retake New Caldiz and plant Army at feet of Corinth.
IBT, New Cirta razed. Catherine about to land on multiple fronts, and we hardly have enough defenders on our mainland.
T2 1410
Shuffling troops to attempt to prepare defense. Army is REDLINED trying to hit Corinth. They are defended by infantry; Greece has Replaceable Parts.
IBT Tokyo deposes. Redlined armies are taken out. This is the worst RNG treatment ever.
T3 1415
More defensive warring.
IBT Japan and Russia embargo.
T4 1420
Crying uncle. We can get an alliance vs Russia and Electricity for 2648. Done. Spain has researched or ought Electricity so no trade value there. William will give us Corporation, but not Fascism. He wont embargo Russia but he will join the Alliance. Done. Spain appears to have an MPP with Russia so shell be in this soon too.
IBT Dutch take out a Russian ship. Spain declares on Dutch. Cossack dies attacking us.
T5 1425
Greece has Refining. Working on rebuilding troops.
IBT, yes Russia has RP. They drop an infantry on our shores. Spain declares on Greece. Well lose wines once they declare on us.
T6 1430
Spain now has RP, but not refining. Lets see what possible monopoly on Refining costs. 3476 + 62gpt. We are essentially buying at research cost. I wont steal because no way can we afford the war. Not too concerned about using the cash because we have no defensive units to speak of to upgrade, may as well build them, and cant use cash to rush. We will rebuild treasury quickly at our +232gpt anyway. Spain will give us the RP we need for adequate defense but has no cash to spare. We take it. William has nothing worth offering. I am doing this deal now because I just dont know how long before we are at war with Spain and will no longer be able to trade. Catherine is not speaking to us, so it may be a bit before we can get a tech from her in the peace deal and even then no guarantees on the discount. I figured we need the infantry tech ASAP. We are back at parity (except for Fascism) unless Russia has something we dont know about, in which case we can try for it in the peace.
T7 1435
Not much. Building stuff. Not ready for an offense vs Russia yet.
IBT, Spain wants to trade territory maps. Fine. Greece/Japan embargo against us is over.
T8 1440
More of same. Tried to see if we could recoup any gpt with Greece for lux but all theyll offer s a lousy 350straight up. So, pass.
IBT, Cathy is building ToE. That is significant. Shes doing it in Novgorod.
T9 1445
Nothing happens. Remembered we have civil engineers now and rejiggerred some of the specialists accordingly where we could shave turns off builds. Russia is apparently distracted by her other enemies, though I keep shuffling troops each turn based on where her ships look to be headed.
T10 1450
Nothing new. Catherine landed at Inchon, but the art/cannons have her under control. We will soon be in a position to make an offensive move against her, and shes pretty well occupied in the meantime. Mil Acad will be built soon, so we can ensure we are fighting with armies. As our treasury builds up we can upgrade more cannons to art (its expensive 150 a pop). Some builds are set to frigates I think we need more navy. Spain still hasnt declared, since we havent taken offensive wth Russia? The Stain of Tokyo in our lands can be addressed whenever. Ive done some foresting in the tundras. We should also take stock of where we mined prior to electricity and might want to water now instead.
). Russia would also be a good easy target to kill until they get Inf. You may want to consider getting an alliance with Greece against Russia along with the peace agreement to stop trade between them. 
.
. Cavalry armies against rifles in pop12 cities are iffy enough and without something to either soften up the defenders or reduce the population....All I can say is that it wasn't the RNG that hurt....
