Current state: 1470 AD, 24559 in the pocket (no typo), +717 / turn. Only lack Steel from Inca, waiting for AI to break the Steel monopoly to get a better price.
Germans tried another war, fought defensively by the Byzantines aided by the Babs. The latter are gone now. Tech developers are the Germans and the Inca's, Egypt being close followers, India and Korea nice milking allies. Dutch are decimated by the Inca and still provide good gpt, but for how long?
Focus is on Diplo Vic now
Well I've finally reached the IA in 1500Ad. Hoping for steam power but got medicine instead. I cant tell you how frustrating it is to wait for the AI to research something.
Down to me - whole continent. Netherlands - strong and the only civ researching anything. The Incas - sharing their continent with the dutch. They fight periodically. The Koreans. I have no idea how they caught up in tech. They were about 10 techs down with no money and now are only 1 tech down.
A ROP rape on the Dutch will take them out but maybe I'll try for space - if I can grab Hooverto leverage my production.
Pulling 680 gpt now.

Copy that, stupid Commie / Fascist AI isn't interested in the beauty of RR.
Col, do you consider domination as an alternative? You are well underway having the home soil under control.
Yeah - thinking about it - I'm building cavs and galleons but the netherlands will take some beating. I'm still weak compared to them. I doubt if they agree to a ROP if they saw what happened to the germans.
I want rails to safeguard the homeland - I've already had a couple of minor dutch invasions.
Damn the Koreans and Dutch have declared war on the Incas - I'm gonna try to take out the incas to get a foothold over there. 10 galleons worth of cavs on the way.
Sadly the Incas dont have iron . hehehehe
Oops - they do have riflemen.
Hah - the Dutch finally research Steam Power. We steal it and YES -we have 3 coals and they have none. Railroad time. I have a lot of workers ready to go (is there an easy way to count them ??)
Make piles that RR a grass in one turn, count the piles, multiply by 6, substract Byz. workers, multiply the remaining number by 2, and you know how many workers you have.
Eh, what were you teaching again?
1600ad and the incas are no more. I'm up to 47% of area and will go to about 55% when all the incan cities expand.
Korea next. Maybe I can win this one without taking on the Dutch. Always fearsome opponents ;)
The Koreans have gone now - but the dutch manged to grab a couple of cities. Its 1750 and there is just the two of us left. I'm up to 59% of land.
The Dutch are fascist!

Bah - I'm up to 63% land and 67% pop. But the dutch have a bigger army and are follwoing a crazy research path. I cant exert any cultural pressure on them either. Looks like we need to grab all the arm and hang on through the counter attack. But cavs against reinforced rifles aint good - and they have 5 or 6 per city.
If I could only research RP, get infantry and artillery and then I'd be Ok with my massive stack.... sigh.
Arrive home (late yeah), load sav and hit enter for next turn. Great news, Inca have Scientific Method and for sale for 5 grand plus change. Wall Street prebuild with 2 turns to go is almost surgical. Check Inca site building ToE. Fuck that!

150 fucking shields due to Iron Works and lots of turns to go for the planned Byz suck-them-all tech lead. This requires much more creative stuff and gambling than anticipated, let alone that this sucker can build UN in 7 turns.
Situation at 1535 AD: 24676 g, 891 gpt, and an overall pic:

I got 4 wonders when I took Cuzco. It IS a monster.
I'm now trying to decide if its worth changing to Communism. The alternative is to just wait for artillery and infantry and grind my way through. I think I need another 8 cities. The Dutch are furious with me and will attack soon. Stacking up all my rifles with cannon behind.
The side effect of no research that I didnt appreciate at the time is the other civs get ALL the SGLs. Thats quite a handicap.
The attack begins when I reach 100+ artillery - which should take a couple of turns at my present rate. There are a lot of infantry to get through!

LOL
Germans and Inca have exchanged SciMet and RP. Steal Flight from Inca, exchange Flight with Germany for RP, gold and gpt. Buy SciMet for 2,5 grand from Inca. 5 techs to go until MA and on par with AI, Inca will have 2 tech next turn.
Good news: Germans have no rubber, there are 2 near their borders however, in India and on Byz. soil.
Risks: German invasion and the UN by itself.
Radio the last tech needed now for MA, Advanced Flight needs doing as well but is a side tech. Inca have been at war with everyone for quite some time now, the goods news is that they are not likely to get many UN votes, the Byz. are a little concerned about the electorate however.
