In general on the plot department have I changed some mines on grasshills to mills, and made a few farmlinks so we have irrigation to most of the corners of our empire now. A village was sacrified to do this but I think it's worth it in the long term.

The game has chosen to crash on me twice on the same place now. I've newly reinstalled, so it might be some preference I've forgotten to set right, I don't know. But as for now I can't play this save until this is solved, or I can borrow another computer. Sorry folks.

any updates Nikolai?

[Nikolai]

Well, I seem to have no problem with other saves, only this one last time I checked, but I'll try again later today if I have the time. Now school's due to start in 4 minutes...

any news Nikolai?

[Nikolai]

Still no luck with my own machine. Weird, because everything else works fine. I have got promise from a friend on the school to get access to his machine later today, let's just hope he remembers it...

[Nikolai]

Okay! Then we try again, this time with my friend's machine.
First two turns played like last time.

1420:
We traded some luxuries with the Chinese.
The Romans demands we join their war. I refuse. They are annoyed with us as a result.
We entered the renaissance by discovering nationalism. We begin researching banking.
Lahore build a Jewish temple. We begin building a barracks.

[Nikolai]

1430:
The Romans ended our open borders agreement.
Delhi has built a knight. We begin building a synagogue.
We begin moving our two knights from the capital towards the border, in case Caesar decides to move against us.

[Nikolai]

1440:
Washington wants us to join them in their war against Spain. While I do not like the development, I think we're not prepared for this just yet. Besides, the Spanish cities are hard to connect to our current ones if we were to capture any of them...
Madras has built a grocer. We begin constructing the Globe Theatre.
Bangalore has built a theatre. We begin constructing a grocer.

[Nikolai]

1450:
Caesar ends another deal, this time some food trading.

[Nikolai]

1460:
We discover banking and start researching military tradition. Soon we'll reign with a glorious cavalery!
We go for mercantilism. Short question here: Do I have to assign the free citizens myself? If I have, could the next person then please do so, because I don't think I have, so I let it be as it is...
Lahore built a barracs. We start constructing a courthouse(we suddenly turned from +5 to -4 gpt, can't see why, it shouldn't be the mercantilism cost, because that was only 3 extra gold, whilch should translate to +2 gpt ).
Kolhapur built a library. Starts building a courthouse.
We got a Great Artist! We move him towards Bombay.

[Nikolai]

1470:
Delhi built a synagogue. We begin constructing the Hermitage.
Judaism spread in Bangalore.

[Nikolai]

1490:
We met Peter of the Russians. We opened our borders, and got optics for music.
Our Great Artist made some great work in Bombay, and that got us a tile with silk!

[Nikolai]

The save. BTW, I see that I must have mislabeled 1480 somewhere, I know there were things happening on each turn, but my notes doesn't show that it seems...
