good job. judging from how much gold all of the AI's want for peace, I feel its a waste of time to prepare detailed polls about begging for peace/ signing a ceasefire, etc. i'll still present the people will reports of course

[mrboo123]

nice job, but I'm worry about loseing the UN!

[H Tower]

unfortunately, our military will be unable to effect the japanese wonder building, we have no offensive strength. I think that with the caravans we've built, and our treasury, we should be able to rushbuild the UN faster than the japanese can build it.

[cavebear]

We will be able to steal Communism from the Japanese in 2 turns, and we will have at least 5 Freight available to build UN in CAPITOL (or another city if we choose) in 4 turns plus gold.

I noted that, when the Celts built Women's Sufferage, the other Civ's "abondoned" their projects rather than change to another Wonder. From that, I assume that no one has Wonder shields cached. We should be able to build UN without a problem.

[-Jrabbit]

Critical to rush as many Freights as possible to build UN in one turn.

We already lost Darwin's through lack of readiness. Let's not let it happen again.

Just wanted to say Cavebear's "THE TALE OF THE YEARS - 1828 AD" is excellent, this kind of detail is much appreciated by the citizenry, particularly as it takes considerably more effort on your part than otherwise.

If I'm still around when votes are cast, mine is coming your way Cavebear.
