I say up the lux slider and WIPE OUT GERMANY!!!

I have never faced panzers. I hope I never will. I always finish off the germans before panzers like I always get the UN. Finish the job.

Do what it takes to finish off the war. I bet you we can finish them in 6-10 turns. Becaus of our allies, I might be 6-8 turns.

That's the spirit.
Btw, I've faced panzers once. Chieftain level (don't laugh!), one of my first games. It was a traumatic experience...

I take it that we aare intending to destroy Germany or at least stop their oil supply completely before we are done with them in order to prevent them getting Panzers? If so, then how close to this goal are we? I realise we are near taking their last supply (if we haven't done so already), but what about the possibility of them getting it from other civs?

There are currently two civs with an oil surplus: India and Japan. (Rome also has two sources, but one will soon be taken by Brundisium's expanding culture.) An oil jump could create another oil exporting civ at any time.

Rubber, on the other hand, does not jump, and only Greece has a surplus. As such, I think Rubber is the key to keeping Panzers out of Bismarck's hands; and, as a bonus, he can't even build Infantry without it. If we do have to finish this war prematurely once the MPPs expire (which I think we might), our Tanks will roll over Riflemen in the next war so long as we can keep an embargo with Greece against Germany.

Good idea; might as well expand the embrago against Germany to as many countries as possible. It will also be easier to do so while the MPPs are in effect. (In fact, we probably need to sign the portion involving Greece while Greece is at war with Germany.)

On Colosusems vs Police Stations : As I recall, Police Stations cut WW effect in half, while Colususes only make 2 unhappy citizens content, making Police Stations the prefered build.

As a bonus, the same Police Stations will reduce Corruption and Waste even in times of peace.

Also, in times of peace with as many luxaries as we have + Sistine's Chapel, we'd already have WLTPD without the Colosuseson the main land and will continue to do so until our city populations get much larger.

If my calculations are correct, in times of peace we can have WLTPD in Metropolises with up to 14 citizens. A Colosseum would raise this number to 15 citizens - certainly not a significant improvement.
Police Stations are more effective in fighting war weariness, and they also serve as second courthouses, so they are much more effective.

Hoover is will be built in 1-2 turns. Building factories now doubles our production, we should declare peace when the MPPs expire.

Rome and Germany will be drafting or poprushing Cavalry, which makes them weaker 20 turns from now. They will have to build factories and powerplants to keep up with our increase in production. Germany will get the ablity to build Panzers after we get Tanks, because of our tech lead. They will be less dangerous in the future,

Police Stations can wait until we prepare for the next war.

Colloseums - our shields are better spent on weapons, especially since there is concern of a Japanese attack. Building extra Infantry now means we wont need to build them for the next war, which will shorten it so less WW.

Republic - changing to it would be a good idea once we start our first tank war, since we'll have such effective weapons and not many city improvements left, we can fight for a long time, and then maybe go Commie.
