Turn 112 sound good for the a war, anyone? I think I've got it so we can deploy 6 HAs on Marble while moving our 13 HAs in Germany towards Madrid.
Please excuse the hand drawn numbers:
Okay, so bear with me here.
Red dots represent cities. The Cyan dots on the bottom represent 4 HAs on the Jungle Cyan and 2 HAs on the Plains Cyan.
For gathering the forces, I think 6 HAs are the minimum for making a stab at Marble. To accomplish this, the HA from Aksum goes to the Sugar tile 2W of Gondor. Gondor will have to double whip next turn (T111) because that's what Gondor does. Gondor's Whip HA goes to Sugar on T112, both land on Plains Cyan T113.
The 4 Jungle Cyan troops have a choice. We can capture Hittite and still get all them to Jungle Cyan, but then we have to somehow defend Hittite and we'd have 2-3 injured HAs running to Marble. If we choose not to take Hittite, then these guys can take their leisurely time getting to the Jungle Cyan on T113.
For the Northern Troops, we can get the wandering HA N of Munich in position in time for a T112 invasion. We should also whip Munich's HA (sad, 1 pop but having the boots on the ground better than efficiency here). They should be on the tile 1E2N of Frankfurt. As you can see, I'm not even considering Toledo, we should march these guys West and put some pain on Izzy.
T114 We take marble we our 6 HAs. This is where taking Hittite matters. As our northern Calvary moves into position to fork Barca and 2 AU on T116, we could try our luck and move most of these guys out of Marble to combine with our forces. It could mean we use whatever's left of this stack to help our main one take Both Barca and 2 AU on the same turn, or we use these guys to free up as many HAs from the main stack to get to Madrid by T118.
Sorry if this isn't *the* plan, but I felt it was important to at least get some of the possibilities out there with actual turn times.
@Shivv We should look for some Prophet points just in case. They're handy for GAs as well, which are going to be way strong with our very wide empire. If these AIs are going to refuse to build wonders we're really gonna want MoM
