Grille catched up in techs. Which is good for the game but less good for the Iranians. He did a typical Sci. buy / sell run at the end of the MA and drew a monopoly on Medicine. Stream Power and Nationalism already were around out of monopoly so he could acquire those as well. With that ayatollah Beam was 1 turn of Steam Power and it was easily bought. As the beloved leader Grille seams to have emotional problems with gifting techs around Medicine could be obtained for a bargain. [}

All of this means the ToE run is under pressure. Although SP > Electricity seemed a logical choice not enough shields were yet accumulated at the build site to allow for a quick build after SF. So Iran is going for Industrialization first.

North Korea all of a sudden became pop leader, worker joining is the suspected cause.

A scouting Knight is testing North Korean nerves.
