As Aebbeka dies of a "splitting headache" prematurely, VivalaCTP2 once again ascends the presidentship of our mighty nation.
Two events mark the reign as significant:
Complete and utter anhiliation of the Germans.
The discovery and consequential initiation of a democratic government.
the next few players need to note this:
I have established good relationships with the Irish because i checked out the science stats and they lead the way. At the moment we can't get an embassy because they have the forbidden city, but in 3 goes we discover railroad which obsoletes it. then we must get a research pact with them (they love us now because of certain donations ...) this will get our discoveries alot quicker. I have noted in the past that at the start (say first 15 goes or so) every time you ask for an advance they counter with huge amounts of money. after this initial period they then give you all the advances you request for free, so be patient don't waste money and make sure some one gets that pact!!! (I've invested gold in it ....).
May Prime Minister VivalaCTP2 be remembered for his mighty military leadership ..
BTW whoever built all those ships was out of control, they are a waste and production should be going into city improvements. I disbanded about 5 longships but we still have a few carracks to do any military transportation. We now have 23 cities.

I'm studying comm/sci, rooboy, want to change to com /law next year, I'm currently in 2nd year.
Yeah, sorry everyone about the multi posting, my computer (or server) or this site or something kept crashing so I wanted to make sure my post went up .....
Yeah, the carracks were good for me to take over the German continent but you only need two at the most, its not like theres gonna be alot of opposition and production can be used elsewhere, did everyone take note of my diplomacy tactics? (I gave 2000 in gold to the Irish to make them like us so someone better get that research pact) ....

the research pact strategy works, I played this game through to the end after receiving the first file and built the gaia controller in 1920 A.D. Lets see if you can beat that fending for yourselves..... As I said, even if the AI does get lots of technologies quickly from the pact, after a few turn you don't even need to buy them off that player, they will give you the technologies when you ask so you can keep pace with the AI and thrash the crap out of every other AI player because of military superiority. Your partner in peace won't attack you and so finally when they've given you the majority of the techs, or you get bored of liking them, its easy to kill of any AI player. My record using this strategy has been building gaia on impossible in about 1860 A.D
I don;t think its buggy at all ....

1305 A naval battle vs North Americans (we win)
1310 After building 15 caravans, trade rute between Troy and Alenwood give 170 extra gold.

1330 Stirling captured! (1 man down)
1335 Oilrefinering discovered, mass producction on the way (I wanted to discover flight but I can't reach it  ) Need reforces, some cannions must be built to attack Edinburg.
1340 Attacking at the opposite side of the battle, a surprise command with 1 cannion and 2 infantry capture DUBLIN (the Irish capital) and with that the Galileo Telescope, science bum expected in the next years.
1345Glasgow captured! (1 down)
1350 A sad year for the great Greek empire, BerXpert II the bloodlust die in an air crash accident, testing a new vehicle for the war. Extraordinary elections were set to get a new president.

Hi guys! Sean is having trouble accessing the site from New Zealand, but he's played his turn and sent me the transcript so I can post it here.
This also means it's my turn! Wow that was fast.
Anyway, here's his transcript:
A CHRONICLE OF THE REIGN OF APOLYTON XXI
1350 Sean III elected Apolyton 21, President of all Greece. He is elected on a platform of solving the conflicts we find ourselves in (war with everybody :-/) A skirmish is won around Glasgo.
1355 Rail Started between Athens ans Sparta---Our first major route.
1360 Mass Production discovered. Feat of Wonder!!! Production ability increases for 15 turns. Sean III is praised by all (Though it was the last adminidtrations achievement really....) All efforts at achieving cease-fires are rejected .
1365 Sean III and his generals diappear for lengthy periods to the "war-room" (ie nothing happened).
1370 Irish troops march Towards Glasgow!!!! The people are concerned!! Cease-fire signed with Native Americans.
1375 Railway system started at the front, to better move troops against the Irish. Skirmish one near Glasgow, the Battle for the city begins.
1380 Skirmish lossed near Glasgow, but the battle of Glasgow has turned our way!!!! The people rejoyce. Internal combustion discoverd. Donegal captured!!! We have opened up a western front, so we may now crush the irish on two fronts!!
1385 Retreating Irish forces defeated outside Endinburugh, thus ending the Battle of Glasgow. Athens begans on a new project called the Emancipation Act. It seems Sean III has been convinced of the existence of basic human rights (liberty).
1390 Riot put down in Washington DC.
1395 Skirmish won through bombardment outside Endinburugh, thus starting another Battle.
1400 Greek's discover Pharmeaceuticals. Endinburgh falls to the never retreating Greek army. Another victory on the eastern front.
1405 Blarney conquered on the Western front. Troops order to hold tight, as large Irish force is believed to be near the Western front. Skirmishs are won and lost around the continent.
1410 Riot put down in Dublin. Skirmish victory outside Rhodes. Irish troops behinds our lines alarms the local population.
1415 Sean III rights a "History of Greek Speaking Peoples" (yeah, nothing happened).
1420 Mass media discovered. Penicillian project started in Washington DC. Sean III believes that it could have great benefits for all Greek people. Railways are still being built to the front(s).
1425 Sean III retires, much to the shock of the Greek people. But Sean III expresses much confidence in his deputy, Skeeve. Skeeve is thus elected to the oggice of Apolyton. Sean spends his deserved retirement writing more histories, of Himself and the Greek people.
Sean.

A CHRONICLE OF THE PRESIDENCY OF SKEEVE THE 3RD, APOLYTON XXII
- 1425AD Sean's Deputy, Skeeve, wins the heart of the people of Greece by saving the lives of a dozen men in his infantry unit in the ongoing Greco-Irish war. His landslide wartime election catapults him to the hotseat of the largest empire in the world. A survey of the empire conducted by Skeeve reveals that after we build or conquer 2 more cities, our ability to govern will be hindered rendering unhappiness or worse, riots. Our own capital city, Athens, even now is an unhappy place, so Skeeve immediately diverts funds to pay for arts and entertainment. Soon Athens blossoms with talented entertainers. Skeeve also orders several dormant naval units to commence exercises for review. Any vessel that is proven obsolete shall be decommissioned. A dangerous army is spotted, in
the meantime, near the recently acquired city of Blarney. Blarney rush-builds an Artillery unit - the first in the world!
- 1430AD A troop ship recently built loads up with 5 regiments of cannons on route to an assault on the Irish city of Sligo. Skeeve creates many jobs by stepping up the infra-structure rate to 30%. Citizens in Dublin and Athens voice their first major concern about a growing pollution problem. Their concern falls on deaf ears... for now.
- 1435AD A Carrack unit fails its review and is decommissioned, and sold to a museum. It becomes the subject of great stories and tourist visits. Meanwhile the first 5 regiments have landed on the coast near Sligo.
- 1440AD Another 5 armies land near Sligo. In the meantime, a 2-front strategy against the Irish city of Waterfront is pursued. However, the Irish mount a dangerous defense to the north, preventing us from attacking from there. Skeeve's popularity poll drops a tad, but not much.
- 1445AD Excellent news! Two Greek Scientist Brothers launch the first powered aircraft... the age of aerodynamics is born! We immediately begin research on Criminal Code. Then, our 12-unit army positions itself right outside of Sligo. A direct assault is ruled out in favor of a cannon bombardment. The bombardment destroys an Irish cannon, and we grit our teeth waiting for the return fire.
- 1450AD Sligo does not return fire! We bombard them again, and discover that the Irish have abandoned Sligo! After an easy occupation, we suspect a trap, but none is forthcoming. In the same year, an 8-unit assault is prepared against Waterford.
- 1455AD Oh no!! 2 of our cannon units got too close to the city of Glaslough, and we destroyed by bombardment. The commander is relieved of duty, and court-martialed for alleged treason against the Nation of Greece. Also this year, Waterford bombards our 8-unit army and destroys a cannon unit. However, our return fire is devastatingly effective - we crush an infantry division, and a cannon regiment.
Meanwhile, 2 Carracks are disbanded and the scrap is used to build an Artillery unit,the 2nd in the World.
- 1460AD Waterford does not return fire! We mercilessly pound them with cannonballs again. However - mysteriously, the citizens have abandoned Waterford, just like Sligo! Fearing a trap, we send an infantry unit in. They find no resistance, so we take it!
At this point, the Greek nation is composed of 35 cities. Fearing a loss of gov't control, Skeeve, offers a cease-fire to the Irish, and they accept, thereby effectively ending this time of conquest.
An offer to the English, however, is met with rejection. However, since the English pose no immediate threat, Skeeve lowers military readiness to "Alert" status. Public works coffers are pretty full, so Skeeve backs the rate down to 20%.
- 1465AD Skeeve repels rumors that his administration sold arms and technology to the English.
- 1470AD Fearing sneak attacks by the English, Skeeve places several listening posts and sonar buoys near the borders of the empire.
- 1475AD The Greek nation solidifys its position as a worldwide economic power by accomplishing a Feat of Wonder!! For building many Brokerages, we shall ready +10 gold every 5 years for the next 100 years! Meanwhile, we discover Criminal Code and begin research on the Corporation.
- 1480AD Boston begins a great project: The Zero Crime Bill.
- 1485AD A Peaceful time - Even the English accept a Cease-Fire. We are no longer at War!! The newspapers proclaim a single-word headline:
PEACE!
Skeeve promptly lowers military readiness to "peace" status.
- 1490AD Another peaceful decade, no conflict, people all over Greece are happy or at least content. Dublin is our biggest city at 270,000.
- 1495AD Our nation discovers the concept of the Corporation! Wise old President Skeeve realizes that peace never lasts, so he begins research on the terrible art of Tank Warfare.
- 1500AD As Skeeve's life ebbs away, he proclaims one final act - and it becomes a Wonder of the World: The Emancipation Act! Finally, the world is free of the tyranny of slavery! Historians revel in this final act of Apolyton XXII.
Before dying, Skeeve endorses a new candidate for Prez: It's the War-Hero Phoenixcager!!
At the end of Skeeve's rule, the English have an ever so slightly better military. The Greeks are the supreme economic power on the planet - who would remain so even when combining all the world's economys!
Greek Science and learning is the best in the world.
Our Population is a staggering 5.833 Million!
Note: We are at 1500AD now. I think that means we are down to 10 turns each.
Wow! We've come a long way since my last turn!
- Skeeve

Indeed, we have come a long way. We are also nearing the end of unbelievably long lifetimes, which could be a good thing. Perhaps we should have a group-think to bee-line for one of the 60-cities governments to continue our conquest? Oh well it's up to whatever administration is in power at the time. Good luck phoenixcager, I look forward to my turn!

I reckon we should alter the text files so that later governments can cope with say 200 cities then our expansion wouldn't be limited. You only have to alter one line in text files, or else we will have to stop our conquests for fear of unhappines and riots ..
Any suggestions/comments?
