Beaver Island Revisited

Bad news... Churchill has also spotted the Beaver Island and quickly established two cities there. The cities have several resources within their reach, including coal and uranium. I also rush to establish Tiflis near a source of oil, north-east from Circassian, and Otrar, north from Circassian, to hopefully conquer the uranium from England with just its culture.To keep up the good neighbor relationships, I exchange a couple of minor technologies from Churchill for the Replaceable parts. Next, I am contacted by the Mayans who wish to exchange their world map with mine. I deny this request but negotiate another deal: I give them Physics and they give me Drama, Literature, Liberalism and Democracy! Not the worst deal, I think. I choose to change my labor civic from Serfdom to Emancipation and the economy civic from Decentralization to Free Market.

Edit/Add: The Liberalism technology, like all the technologies in the game, comes with a quote from a famous person, in this case Benjamin Franklin. I thought this one was particularly wise:

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
