I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Basically I made peace with Louis, and put it all on Stalin. Took Moscow on my last turn. I sent a ton of workers to Hastings in order to properly convert it into a production city. Got rid of all the towns and replaced them with farms, watermills, or workshops. Rushed a factory, hydro plant, and Ironworks there. Why? I want to use this city to build Three Gorges Dam and use it as a spaceship part factory later on.
Generally, here's what I think is important for the near future. Continue to press on against Stalin. I think we should keep Yaroslav and St. Petersburg, but if you conquer the other two, I think you should disband them. They're placed way too close to the other cities and will just end up being a money sink. Make sure you start building the Three Gorges Dam in Hastings after Ironworks is finished. That wonder is really key for us, as it'll allow us to maximize production everywhere. If you can, try to convert Thapsus into a production city as well. I got started on that a little during my turns. Lastly, you'll notice Memphis down to the south is basically surrounded by Louis' borders. Try to make sure we're employing lots of artists there so we can try to expand the borders a little.
I think this game is basically in the bag. If one of the other civs gets reasonably close to finishing the spaceship, we can just sick Genghis on them and bowl them over.
