    Very very slowly...turn are taking longer and longer since I can spend more and more money on rushbuild(at this moment I use something like 30.000G/turn)In a few turns next decade will be finished and then a history-update will come.
    Give up me??NO WAY.This moment I'm at 975% and still have >50 turns left.(the only thing that really buggs me are the beakercosts--> next time I do this I'll be purple(India/sioux/mongol).

        What just happened to me,will make this happen pretty soon.
        my science costs just went up from 52->55->90 beakers/tech and I only gained 1 new tech in those 2 turns.
        costs to get the next tech are now ~10.000 beakers

        this really makes me to want to start all over again...I think I'll rush the spaceship and land on AC...so If you see a new thread appearing you know what has happened.

        all was going so well I even saw the possibility to get almost all future techs( just because it looked possible to get 6,7 tech/turn)


        I think I'll wait before I do something stupid till I get some info on the thread I posted about this sciencecosts.Science beaker catastrophy

        on the image you see my current stats on costs and income and sciencebeakers

        • Time for some new history

          [Little side note]
          After the rather depressing discovery of the humongous increase in science costs I had kind of a breakdown, just wanted to throw the damn thing out of the window (pc included ). But after a few days of chilling down and some helpful words from here I saw the light .thx to all
          [/little side note]

          Let the beginning of a new era begin
          The year is 1958 and the new Imperial government has decided to let go of the research development. All scientists get a conversion course to become highly trained taxmen. Only on the central Island the scientists are allowed to continue their research (providing almost 1000beakers/turn) and they are allowed enormous grants paid from trade money to complete their research item each and every year.
          This redirection of resources created an annual tax income of >20.000G.
          Time passes by and 2 years later the first great project is finished:
          Los Angeles builds the "Apollo program" in which brave men get launched into space with giant missiles. They even succeed in returning back to earth alive and they bring photos of our entire planet.
          Seeing how well all this went and seeing the joy in the eyes of scientists, astronauts (this is how the survivors of the space trip where called,except by those ppl who kept calling them astronuts) taxmen and ordinary citizens the Imperial government decided to embark on an even greater mission then the Apollo program:” We would build the first spaceship that would bring 40.000 colonists alive and well through the vastness of space to a neighbouring solar system called Alpha Centauri.
          This was the year 1960AD

          The year 1961AD was also a very glorious one.
          The puny Indian civilization had send forth a transport ship (they managed to build through the never ending science support from our scientists(Indian scientists: our scientists come to rescue: Indian scientists afterward: ) and when their crew saw how advanced our civilization really was (and the huge amount of money we offered them ) they swiftly decided to never return home and come to work in service of our glorious empire.
          An other important event was the construction of our 200th city named Osmium (after the atom ). This was such an event that trade markets had the best day in the last 100 years and the trade caravan from Hamburg that arrived in Washington on exactly the same day supplying much needed oil gave a record trade bonus of 2091G.
          It was a most beneficial day.

          KABOEEEEM
          This was the sound over 1.000.000 people heard on an early morning in April 1962 in and around the old Russian city of Smolensk. It was accompanied by a flash of light, bright as a thousand suns and when they looked out over the Russian sea the could see a mushroom cloud rising toward the sun as a phoenix, born out of the radioactive ashes of the first nuclear bomb ever made.
          The Imperial Government had completed their second objective the "Manhattan project" was finished, and the most powerful and most dangerous weapon one could ever imagine was created. Many feared that if this weapon was ever used it would result in Armageddon, the end of time. Under the pressure of the global imperial population the military announced never to use such a weapon. (But everybody suspects the military to have some of those horrific weapons in their weapons depots although it has never been proved yet.)

          Despicable
          In the year 1963 our foreign reputation improved to "Despicable"...the lies of our old (and now long gone) enemies still seem to carry weight...
          Our statistics department did a new population count; this count revealed that there are now over 500.000.000 people living in this empire.

          The Science Depression
          The year 1964 will always be remembered as the year of the great science-depression. Suddenly, without any real reason the scientific progress took twice the efforts it needed before. The old scientists said it was just the younger scientists being too lazy to work. To counter this depressing feeling, which had the entire empire under its influence the imperial government, announced that the great space project would start as soon as possible: "The empire would build the first interstellar colonization ship." It would carry 40.000 souls to one of the planets orbiting Alpha Centauri, a nearby star. The first components of the ship where launched in December of that year.
          The following 4 years more pieces where launched into space and the enormous ship was assembled in high orbit around the earth itself. On cloudless nights you could see it moving through the sky, shinning down as a bright star. In the year 1968 the last structural piece of the spaceship was added. It was finished...except for some minor details...people needed to live there and there were no chairs, tables or any other furniture. The internal decoration and computer systems still needed to be done...

          Here ends an other decade.

          • You amaze me

            I just read this entire thread and I am amazed, your powers to combat boredom are huge, you are a GOD, I bow down to your greatness.

              And now he can properly appreciate why not many point record runs are made anymore.

                I'm not really sure of that...if I can keep the same score improvement each turn like now it might be quite close...I'm now at 1098% I thought,the year is 1969=>~50 turns left.
                At this moment I have 60 cities building caravans and >20 or so on capitalisation and like 10->15 cities builing 1 engineer/turn to rush new cities from 0->8 in 2 to 3 turns...there is still opportunitie for ~50 cities and I think less then 50% of them(the 205 wich are already there )are at max size(need more terrainchange(plains-->grassland) and improvements.
                tax-income just went of scale(didn't take a look yet but it's a nice prediction,previous turn it was around 31.000G/turn)at 70% tax and my caravans are enough for 1tech/turn...
                But I've learned a lot about what I have to think of first when going on such a crussade.
                (the history part in the previous post needs some appending because I had to stop-->1am and school bad combo )

                And now he can properly appreciate why not many point record runs are made anymore.

                Believe me,I truely can appreciate such a thing and I still bow for all those achievements...but I promise to get there sooner(ie now maybe,but I doubt it although it might be close)or later(ie the next time,(ab)using all I learned)

                  If you're not already at near the max number of cities, you'll be hard pressed. The most tedious phase is yet to come. (food caravans)

                    the foodcaravans are only for one(and in the future 2 or 3 small continents)

                    I had written a nice piece to append to the last history post...I added some smilies and hit "save changes"--> msg "to much images-> go back" when I go back everything I added is gone I'll try again tomorow or thursday....

                    • I have to agree with Rah on this one. No Chance.
                      Heck, I quit at about your point in the game because I got bored.
                      Max Cities... and max pop in most of them via 500 years of food caravans.

                      Good luck

                      • hehe a new piece of history is added(third time seems to be the charm...I dragged it through a spelling-corrector... Phew got through all history posts, a few thousand spaces are added)

                        In my run through the entire thread I again saw the posts of Julius...I wonder how his game went?

                        (current score is 1118% and the year is 1970)

                                A little better then the Demogame.

                                Although I might get a small depression when I see our cash/science flow after I played a turn in this game.

                                >25.000G and >11.000 beakers /turn ---> 32G and 80 beakers



                                maybe a nice goal would be to try to boost that to triple,or so ...slavelabor...egyptian slaves build the piramids...
