Luckly I meet France this turn, and I buy Construction for Philosophy, Literature and 379 gold.
Now I make peace with the Dutch, giving Construction in return for HBR and 23 gold.
On inspection I see Kingreno doesn't need techs from me, and since he may know the English I make peace with them giving Construction for Polytheism and 41 gold. Shit, KR doesn't even need Poly...
My WH has dropped from +3 to +1 in all my size 4+ cities, but with some juggling I can get away with 10% lux.
104: I research Republic. I hit anarchy and draw an amazing 4 turns!
I can get Republic and Monarchy from either France or England, I go with Lizze and get both techs and 5gpt. I get Engineering as my free tech.
I make peace with Sumeria giving CoL, then gift 4 ancient techs to get them to the Middle Ages. They get Feudalism as their free tech, which I buy for Monarchy, Engineering and The Republic.
Hehe, I am now Republic, Feudalism and Engineering ahead of Kingreno. I doubt he will have Mono so it looks like I am doing well.
