Hi all.
In the size4 OCC thread, I mentioned that Copernicus's Observatory
is my first Wonder of choice when I can get it. To support that opinion
I am posting the log of my attempt at OCC Fortnight#2 (Monarchy start).
That was a particularly apt candidate for a Copernicus First strategy.
I started the game with the idea of doing a Size12 city. But I bagged
that notion halfway through and played it straight.
(Some of my beaker count research notes were mixed in the log. I left them in.)
