[marcuspeddle]

Yes, an mpp. I'm hoping it will allow me to trade something for their techs. If it doesn't work I'm not going to renew the mpp.

[marcuspeddle]

My people are happy to see you have entered an enlightened age of no war and great scientific research. They are so happy they even turned a blind eye to the very expensive addition I made to my palace.

My scientists are researching Flight. Flapping their arms didn't seem to get them anywhere so now they are experimenting with engines and fixed wings.

Thank you for combustion

Replaceable parts will be here soon

we must be starting to catch the old ai by now

How long will flight be?

[marcuspeddle]

3 turns. The AI seems to be quite a ways ahead but hopefully we will catch up. Their research is probably not coordinated so that's to our advantage.
