Awesome. That is helpful, indeed, in securing our lead.

EDIT: And with that, I think I am done for the night. Greatprogress today.

Thanks

Had some great play as always fun and formulative for learning experience

And I'm back. Let's see, so we researched Nationalism, and started work on Constitution. Finished a couple builds. Checked the F9 screen and found we hold the first place in every single stat: me for everything, but GNP, where I am in second - the first being firmly held by President Troll. We are doing alright. Time to build up some forces and show the Greeks and Romans once and for all who is boss. Our people are tired of being declared war on. For once we want to be the aggressors and have the element of surprise on our side. To that end, we keep concentrating on building up riflemen and cannons - on both continents.

I am finishing a few forges and barracks

I built Midway

I have Knights being built to stop aggressor units that may start pillaging

Ill switch up to rifleman and cannons

Loking forward to doing a bit to rid the world of vile and vermin (Greeks and Romans)

[vovan]

Hattey is sending another ship with settlers to the new world...

Greeks and Romans have Rifling!

That won't help them. We shall crush them with sheer numbers.

EDIT: BTW, we are researching constitution because it is along the way to assembly line or whatever that thing is called that allows us to build infantry.

i just started researching steam power

i thought we would get steam power by his sacrifice

[Grandpa Troll]

back to you

[vovan]

Well, he contributed about 40% of beakers required to research Steam Power, so that's a nice investment, too.

[Grandpa Troll]

we trade with Alexander

corn (gives us +1 heath) for wine (gives him + 1 happiness)

[vovan]

We've built the Globe Theatre in Washington, which means there will be no unhappiness in the city. That is quite helpful, since the city is already size 23 and about to grow some more.

[Grandpa Troll]
