Hey Nigel
You can check the saves out.
This was my bet try. But I leave it when I realize that I was not going to ever to catch up.
In this game Wu has been a passive neighbor. I only had a war with Bismark, but I fended him off.

I tried using this strategy on an Oval Standard Size Map.
I found it very difficult to use. I started over desert with few good city placement options for rapid population growth and luxuries on the sea.
I tried three times to make it work.
Once I got brutally attacked by Bismark and he took one of my cities.
The second one I got good placement for the cities but Hiawatha is running a hard to catch runaway scientific civ on the other side of the map.
I failed miserably on my third attempt when Wu expanded faster than my on the few places that are available.
Is this strategy impossible to use on a desert start?
What can I improve?

Thanks, im currently trying this on emporer (im fairly new at civ and not that good lol) but the main problem for me is the worker farming. My nearest neighbor is Genghis Khan and he has so many units that i cant viably steal a worker. i see how u do it in the guide but i just dont feel comfortable stealing workers
