As turns pregressed and the world got into more wars we keep pursuing the goal of Gunpowder. We still lack Iron and have no chance of getting that without Muskets/Longbows/(but actually Cav).
As fortune was with us we reached both Invention and Gunpowder first! This traded me Education and Chivalry in the upper tree as well as 100 gpt, that makes 140 gpt total

It also gives me enough luxes as can be seen, but there is however also very very bad news:

NO SALTPETER AS WELL!
Do I conquer the world with Horsemen?
I do not get it at all
This also means no Frigates so no way in hell I will stop beams Dromons if they come to me...it is also clear I have no chance of Coal (who needs that without Iron anyways???) as that will also be on some other shitty island. Oh, and forget a GA, that is a nono forever.

Needless to say that I am solely waiting for a "we have discovered a new source of iron/saltpeter" to make this game even remotely winnable. I may even considder surrendering soon as I see no chance any other vic then Diplo is an option.
