1125 after losing half their invasion force to a vulcano eruption, the Romans still declare on me or no reason… and take a lightly defended border town.

925 early e vics give no MGL, now first legion at the front.
875 i trigger their GA, gift them techs for WWs, and make peace with Rome.
610 see that Rome gets cocky again. Gift a border town to yet to them unknown Maya. Take the Mayan Mona monopoly tech in a fake PD, break the deal and take a couple of their towns with a RoP-rape. That was already in preperation, but Rome made me take up speed here. The Mayans seem especially weak, given their strong city positions. Obviously they suffered hard under barbarians. They can muster hardly any units! And even core cities are not connected!
I manage to take 5 towns in the first turn, 2 of them undefended! Unfortunately fail to take the capital by a margin… but it builds a wonder anyway.
Pyramids and MoM standing in the Mayan capital makes it a no 1 target, so that any own wonder build will start my own GA!
However, even though the Romans now even stand in Mayan lands!, they still do not show them so that i could ally them against them
590 grrr. Now Rome got Monarchy from Maya. Still ally them against them, for gpt. Let´s see what happens.
Take Chichen Itza
530 war with Rome still seems inevitable… connect 4th lux.
4 new ships again try to find a path over the seas.
IBT: 3 out of 4 ships sink 
Of course the darn Romans declare 
490 galley sees land on the horizon for the first time!
470 galley sunk 
Out of anger i forgot to make notes for a few turns now. Somewhen entered MA. Drew Eng.
