Thanks everyone - its definitely helped with all the advice on here.
I followed up on the building of Theory Of Evolution idea and right enough, my 2 free techs got me right back in it! I made quite a bit of money selling some of the techs and I've now got decent income and I'm also 4 turns away from the Hoover Dam (Koreans and French are also building it but they only started a few turns ago when I realised that I'd lost my monopoly on Electronics (Koreans had also researched it, so I sold it to the French for 1000 gold, Silks and 45gpt). I'm also about to finish off the Americans and trying to think of a way to provoke the Aztecs.
Oh, and I've had to hang on to Lisht, with only a legionary stationed there, as it became my only source of coal about 2 turns after the save I'd posted!
I was going to post asking about whether I should now switch govt. perhaps to democracy but I'm concerned about losing too much production, so I think I'm staying in Communism and I'm hoping to establish a tech lead in the modern age, I think the Koreans still have a slight edge but hopefully that will change.
Biggest lesson for game number 2 is not to muck up my trading reputation! It seems to be really easy to do!
Anyway, thanks again guys!
