Succession Game - The Sticky Mouse Academy Strikes Back
Downloaded here at work, emailed home to the iMac. Will unzip and look through it tonight, perhaps comapare to the previous 1800 save and draw up a flimsy excuse for a battle plan.
Playtime likely to be Thursday night (US).
(Looks like 8 turns is the new standard for this round.)

My first turn started with the chinese attacking and taking Nil Newton, I had a look and realised our nation was defended by very ooutdated units, rushed some rifles
we discovered 4 techs in the 8 turns Tactics, Combustion and flight plus whatever we were researching before that.
Bloody real world getting in the way stops all my fun
I found time to confirm receipt of a good zip and save as a gamefile. Looks like things have gotten very interesting. Our tech rate is 3 turns, our treasury around 2500 GP, and we're in deficit spending to the tune of about 200 GP/turn. We're also at war with all civs, with our Commie cities defended by just one or two outmoded units. On the plus side, it looks like there's lots of open land out there, and adding cities could be a big help when we start building SS parts. First-glance tech target will be Offshore Platforms, which iirc we're 3 techs away from at present. Some odd choices on white goods construction will be examined, and I didn't have time to look at our trade routes. Much to consider -- looks like fun. Maybe I'll play 20 turns and really change the course of history...
...just kidding.

Unfortunately, I too had IRL interference last night. Was drafted to play math tutor to my 14-yr old, so playtime was extremely limited.
Took a fair amount of time to absosrb all the changes that have occurred, played one turn and resolved to get home early tonight so I can finsish and post prior to the FNSGS meeting at Ming's.
-Deficit spending was actually about 70 GP/turn, still deemed fiscally irresponsible.
-No Superhighways (researching Electronics).
Considering some new directions...
If all goes well, I'll post aound 8pm CST (0100 GMT) tonight.
Straybow, do want a direct email of the zipfile then?

Jrabbit, I'd only worry about Ming and Rah passing secrets if they're smarter than the AI. Deficit spending is fine, when it serves a good purpose. Tickling vitally needed troops and city improvements will outpace income unless you've got a money machine like the repeat commodities to Berlin.
The occasional long distance delivery can net several hundred gold, which can go a long way to cover deficits. So always keep one eye on trade, even in the heat of war.

Very true. Superhighways are a boost to trade and help with the treasury so don't forget to build them ... Ah! we need Automobile to do that and we don't seem to have the tech. I'm not hinting
ps Flight kills trade bonuses. Some retraining is called for at the Institute. Sloppy research will not be tolerated
1818 -- Berlin sends cannon vs. Hamburg. egypt switches from Democracy so Monarchy so we bribe Elephantine (net cost about 900) and rush extra defenses there. Silk to Beijing for 172 GP.
1820 -- China declares Democracy. Egyptian troops massing.
1822 -- St. augustine concludes that ours is the happiest civ in the universe. Egypt learns their lesson, returns to democracy. Ask for 450GP. -- they declare war. We discover Electronics! Machine tools or auto... We want to activate Oil, so it's Auto. polulation now exceeds 12MM.
1824 -- English emissary claims elephantine is rightfully theirs. tell him to go complain to egypt, since they put it there. war declared. gold to Keinkoloss = 132GP.
1826 -- Adams Coffin survives Barb attack. Berlin hurls more worthless troops against Hambourg. Egypt fails to attack Elephantine -- bribes it back instead. Two freights to Rhondda (copper and beads -- yield just 24 each. Ouch!!
1828 -- Germans request and receive a cease-fire. We discover the Automobile, disabling leo's workshop now it's time for Machine Tools. Pollution warnings begin. Barb king ransomed = 150 Beads, Cola, Dye, silver x2 delivered here and there for 102, 102, 94, 97, 87. Unhappy with yields. This is the penalty for flight? Oh, also established Japanese embassy, then bribed Hangchow for a foothold there (net cost = 186 )
1930 -- Spy takes hut, gets 50 GP. Oh well, at least no barbs...
1932 -- Gold to Heidelberg, 86gp. Coal to Kagoshima, 30 -- Wool to Berlin 144, Oil to Leipzig 164.
1934 -- Machine Tools are ours. Miniaturization next. Village of Wall Fall Down founded north of Berlin, while transport takes engineer and alpine troops north to found a sister city. Hides to Izumo, 107. Hides, Salt to Yokahama (258, 59).
MISC NOTES
Ship chains are coming back together. Northern exploration unit out with spy. Power plants, factories, and superhighways soon to dominate our home island.
Sorry for the delay. Much fun was had...
