The Save
Initial thoughts
Steam Power in 5, which means the decision on whether to go to
Scientific Method and advance to Electronics to get Hoover's or
get Factories now. We don't have Nationalism thought, need
rifles, Byzantines and Portugal got em already. Hmm.
There are fireworks going off everywhere! What has Ville been feeding these Mayans?!?

I trade Inca Metallurgy for Map and 20 to keep them in the
game. No sense in letting the Byzantines get any big ideas.

Upgrade Galley to Galleon
I take a peek at our Navy... still looking... oh my. A bunch of land
lubbers are yees? Well, guess we didn't really need one before
now. Probably don't need much of one if the priority is to clean
Austria off our continent first. Still, would be nice to have a
couple ships afloat.

Steam in 1, readying the workers and backing science to 50%
for some end-o-the research cash.

Steam Power > Electricity
Going straight to Scientific Method. I'm going to trade Steam for
Nationalism post haste (whispers from crowd about giving away
the farm) and hopefully by the time we've got Electricity someone
will have Medicine and we can use Tikal (Palace in 41) to get
Theory of Evolution (which I recommend we take straight to
Electronics and start work on Hoover's). If we can pull off ToE we
will have enough tech to trade for the other side of the tree.

Quirigua riots.

Portugal: Trade Steam for Nationalism, WM, 8g, 8gpt

That's going to expire during Andvruss

Hittites: RoP get 3g, WM, I figure the Hittites are the pivot point

All quiet.
Parting thoughts
Railroad main line is just under 50% complete.
Workers on a line will end up in the next big city for your
direction. I think the only gap you'll find is between Copan and
Quirigua.
