We have extended our peace treaty till one of us reaches the modern age. This sounds longer then it actaully is.
The production went as expected:
42.76KB
and a turn later:
42.17KB
I am researching whatever I want in 4 turns. Sanitation is next as that will drop in nicely after the first factories are done. After that we will take repParts, to be followed by the coorperation, putting Stock exchanges right after the hospitals are done. Banzai lacks medicine and my guess is he will be going for repParts first.
Financialy things are bright as well, with over 5000 cash in the vaults.
Banzai has not so many workers, so the extra Building speed will help him there. I don't mind as the price for rep parts will go down.
I cannot see Banzai getting to the next age befor eme and the question is what will happen then. I had very recent experience with the same "dilemma" in the game vs Beam. There is still time to decide. Banzai btw already asked if he would suffer the same fate as Beam on MSN.
On the bright side, these games do give me very nice experience with the later industrial age. Something I lack completely.
