With regards to RoPs & MPPs:
So long as we sign an RoP at the same time that we sign a MPP we have no fear of backstabbing from that nation. They will be locked in an alliance with us for the duration of the time we give them permission to travel along our railways, and with the declaration of war on Germany, our new allies would be far too wrapped up in our joint war to consider such betrayal. I believe it may actually be impossible to attack someone that you've signed an MPP with, perhaps someone could test this. But in any regards, I have never seen the AI backstab an ally with a MPP.
An RoP with the Aztecs would also allow us to attack Germany from the former American lands.
As for RoPs with other nations, we should only sign them if we are certain that we want their help in this war. Frankly, I don't believe we need the help of any other nations (we are signing MPPs to ensure that Greece and the Aztecs do not attack us), and the presence of their units may hinder our own advances. It may also be in our interest to keep other nations from stealing cities from Germany that we can easily conquer.
Also note: We need to sign a military alliance with England. The last thing we want is for Germany to beat us to England and for us to fight a war with Germany, England, Rome, and Japan.
With regards to Replaceable Parts & the Tech Race with Germany:
Once this war starts, Germany's research will go to nil as they switch their economy to rapidly rush military units to counter us, and as they spend to draw in allies to counter our alliance. Furthermore, our efforts to stop all luxuries from coming into their country will massively destabalize their people and cause them to switch to luxuries, entertainers, or possibly fall into anarchy. Bottom line: Once we attack them, we've basically won the tech war.
There is no need to rush researching Scientific Method, as we can prebuild Theory of Evolution and switch to it at a later time.
There is no need to rush to ToE as we will be the tech leader. We just need to ensure that no other nation builds it before us.
There IS reason to rush to Replaceable Parts as those military advances will double or triple the effectiveness of our cannons with artillary, and infantry will ensure that our vulnerable cities and stacks are secure from counter attack. We could really use the advance for this war.
Furthermore, the doubled worker rate will allow us to RAPIDLY transform our nation into a railroaded production paradise just in time for our factories to take advantage of it.
