What is our long term goal?
Before everybody gets all hot about taking the Lighthouse, I suggest a pause to consider. It gets to a central question that was in my dreams last night. (Please disregard the rim-shot opening 
) What is our long term goal???
If we are playing to conquer, there are certain considerations. But if we are playing for the stars, some of those elements will get in the way, in my opinion. If it is to be AC, then it is trade, trade, trade. And for that we will need Magnetism, I think. Lighthouse doesn't look so "bright" then. We will want to keep our Reputation polished up so we can send our vans throughout the foreign lands to demand cities--and reduce sneak attacks on our precious camels.
And if we build STWA and delay Leo's a bit we can have our clads for a space of time. They can become vets the harder way and we can try to induce a declaration of war from our targets. We don't have enough cities to field an Invasion force with any muscle without clads. But no city can stand having two units in the field. But we need our ships for trade. Magnetism is the way...maybe
So, Bloody Monk lays before the August Senate the question: What are our goals to be??

The real reason i pulled down the save was to see if the capture of Beijing was feasible - as you all know, after my pwetty fwowers I have a predilection for large bright lights - however, not yet seems to be the answer...

Some caravan production is switched to Settlers, particularly in cities which have an Elvis already. We need cities - and we should easily have the Caravans to finish Mikes when the time comes.
Perhaps I shouldn't have messed with the tax rate, thinks STYOM.
- the road between Lucky Git and Sticky Mouse is tricky, just like the consulate...)

Of course, that presupposes that those that follow on will have read this...
I did read it. So it's my fault.

...Republicans wish to go one way or the other I shall follow suit as best I can. However, I also vote in favor of at least a modicum of assault and battery. Given the choice between eggheads with bigger brains than the others or soldiers with greater strength than the others I will choose soldiers. To me at least there is something more satisfying in conquering than in winning a science war. Must be my testosterone level flaring up. At age 36 I suspect I'd better enjoy those hormone infusions when they occur.
