We have never played a Democratic Sleaze before - it's great fun!! (but rather time consuming!!!!!!)
________________________
1834 - First turn takes two and a half hours, but we are now set for serious WLPD growth ...
The grand plan to buy Philadelphia is foiled by the damn Yankees going Demo! all eyes turn to Leptis Parva (Adam Smith) we need funds... slightly adjust tax-rate...
1840 - Senate support anexation of Philadelphia
1842 - the good people of Rusucuru (with Women's Suffrage) flock to our glorious cause!

Well, good folks, we have only played 5 turns, but we have increased the population by 50%, and have now invested over 10 hours in the game this session. We fancy buying Adam Smith's from the Carts, ship in transit, but it is now up to you ...

The doves stopped all aggression when I contacted ais.No real surprise here as our nation is very powerful albeit somewhat spread out with independent "provinces" running well.
So it was back to science.Self trading was accelerated and is starting to get fairly lucrative.1 freight to Berlin from Perfection brought in 924 gold and bonus.Our scrollheads developed:
Robotics
Flight
Radio
Advanced Flight
Recycling

with a few freights we could manage 1 tech per turn but I spent some time building up gold for infastructure rushbuilding.2 turns is no problem.

We are also in a perpetual state of celebrating.We reached 49,560,000 and counting.

Teayo was lost to barbs.Could have saved it but didn't think it was worth it.Sold off improvements before it fell.Bunch of partisans popped up though.

My wonder-like ship chain is decimated.Our trading partner conquered!Oohh the sting...

Its 1856ad and space looks good at this point.The ais have started to go Demo.We'll have watch for tech theft from now on.The Carths have allready been poking around with diplomats.

Have received game and will get on it tonight. Don't know if I'm looking forward to it or not though. Oh, well... into the breach.

After a close fought election in 1856, kc W bob was inaugurated into the Presidency of the great nation of Yellow. His first action as president was to raise taxes so as to better bribe our enemies. The far reaching ramifications of this piece of legislation was dramatic. A town on the fringes of the empire was so upset with the new tax law that the entire empire went into a state of anarchy for a year. Fortunately, the good people of Perfection City had erected a memorial to the Grande Dame, Liberte, and all was well with a few months.

During kc W bob's first term, Rocketry was discovered, the cities of Advanced Tribe and Kaopectate were founded, and 500 gold was found lying around in dirty old huts. The most earth shattering news during the first term in office was that the Barbarians developed Bronze Working!!! Can they do that??

In the year 1862, kc W bob was elected to a second term in office. He ran on a platform of never again raising taxes. Space Flight, Plastics, Nuclear Fission, and Nuclear Power were discovered. 350 gold was found in more dirty little huts, 310 gold was acquired through various trade routes, the American city of Dallas was subverted, and the loyal inhabitants of Teayo were reunited with the empire.

As a new election was being held, kc W bob made plans to move into plush offices in Perfection City, from where he would continue to watch the empire prosper. A space ship was begun, the future looked bright, and all was well in the world.

Rather more "so" than "an hour". But I know your story will be a good one, so it's worth waiting.
Game received. I will try to play it this week-end. It could be quite long.
I guess I am the one who will have to choose between AC and the peace-keeping project (aka “kill ‘em all”).

Julius the Technocrat was elected president in 1867 for a 10 years mandate. He build more factories and more manufactured plants, went on with the space project and a hundred years before the cold war was wise enough to train some more spies. All was for the better with the strongest (by far) nation of the world. Julius the T. went mostly for gold to finance his building politics but took time to discover the Laser, Superconductors and Fusion Power. A few incidents happened but none of them bad enough to slow down our victory march.
In 1869, the Carthaginians declared war and sunk one of our destroyers with their new found bombers. In 1870 so did the Americans. And 1871 so did the Indians sinking a ship with a spy in it ! Our former foreign politic advisor is not very popular anymore.
The city of Didnotaskfor was founded also in 1871. Near Dallas, a single fighter kills all by himself 7 American diplomats in one turn ! In 1873 the Carthaginian city of Leptis Magna was captured and then a cease-fire was established. In 1876 Baltimore and the Eiffel Tower were captured. Peace was then established. Fools ! soon we shall send them postcards from Alpha Centauri.

Turns completed up to 1876 and game sent to Scouse Gits. It's easy, too easy. I didn't manage anything brillantly, and yet we are closer to victory.

I am not a good player, but would like to participate in some future succession game. Do you think you would accept me despite my lack of skills?
