Science: 1814 AD

We have contact with everyone because the Zulu built the UN. That's a side effect you probably never noticed because it was you who built the UN in your previous games.

White means before some/an AI, not before all. The fact of the UN already having been built made me think we were very far behind--at least the Zulu.

AH! That is MOST interesting! Thank you.

Foreign Affairs Minister? Cripes! That's me I guess! I forgot all about the fact we actually have contacted the Egyptians before, OR everyone else! Anyway, there's not much I could say without Embassies anyway.

I just realised - no Diplos means no Embassies! ****e!

Still MWIA, should we even contact them? (attitudes don't look great right now, but if we could get a tech exchange or a gift.....might it be worth it? or is the risk of war that we don't want too great?)

And Monk, I never would have even guessed that result of UN, I guess because either I have built it as you say, or I have contact with all others by the time it is built and thus didn't notice.

As for "White means before some/an AI, not before all"...do you mean that all of our white techs just mean that we didn't get them last? I though the idea of the White tech was that we got them FIRST, but if you are correct then it explains why we are still getting white techs even though we are far behind.

I could easily be wrong, but I think those techs are coded 'white' to let you know that, at the moment you discover that scroll, someone needs it.

Science Report has been PM'd to our Consul

Bloody Monk - Thanks for the explanation of the UN. It really surprised me when all the civs showed up in the Foreign Minister box. I thought maybe it was because of the year or something like that.

And yes, I almost always have contact with all civs by now, so the sudden appearance of all of them never happened to me before.

It appears I didn't get my filing fee in on time for Science Minister. Probably just as well. A cleric should probably be in the kitchen cabinet in a Republic.

Late volunteers are welcome, as you can see by the new election polls. LOL!

If timing is everything, then I need to pick up the tempo.
