quote: The other thing I do is discipline myself to go through a mental checklist at the end of each and every turn: 1) Is this an oedo year? 2) Did I happy up that city that went into revolt this turn? 3) Will an important improvement I just rush-bought be sold off because I used up too much gold and left taxes at zero? 4) Will my favorite engineer be disbanded because his city workers were all left on ocean squares to boost the gold payoff when I delivered a caravan? 5) Did I leave the science rate at 0% 3 turns ago when I was checking how many beakers I needed for the next advance? 6) Will I ever unfortify that horseman who is supposed to be exploring Outer Mongolia?

On my list should be:

7) Have I woken up my barbarian-hating elephant in my capital to kill the Legion sitting on his doorstep, or am I just going to let them all be massacred (again)?

8) Have I expelled all diplomats and spies that wandered into view last time?

9) Have I checked relationships and science with the AI civs since I built Marco Polo, or shall I continue wasting the wonder?

10) Have I figured out where I need all my boats to be in 3 turns time?

11) Have I remembered to rush build the wonder that I got the "Babylonians are about to complete the XXX" warning for during the last turn?

12) Where have I put the end of turn checklist?
