OK, totally misread your post.
OK, research can be pulled back to 50% and still get Rep in one turn.
Capitol looks good.
I would let Tar-tar grow and change build to a sword. It has the developed tile to work.
Batshiret should not build a warrior. I would make it a worker factory for now.
The barracks in Ereena and Baruun-Urt were pre-builds for needed harbors. That is if we get the tech which will work if we research Maps, Poly and Lit. Make Lit last.
Ya know, the real good news is that the incense and the ivory are pretty darn close.
OK, whatcha ya’ll think of this….
1) We don’t have near enough troops to attack Carthage.
2) We have a lock on Rep and the AI is unlikely to go for it.
3) At 80% we can get Maps/Lit or Poly in 8/8 or 7 respectively.
4) The Statue of Zeus is being constructed in Leptis Magna.
If we take 20 or so turns to collect Lit and a few other techs we may be able to trade ourselves into the next age w/ Rep & Lit. If lucky we could even get a tech in the next age. This will be the turn, or turn prior, to attack Carthage.
The trigger to attack Carthage will be the completion of SoZ!!!
Collect swords, cats and some archers in the desert just outside the Leptis boarders.
Everything might not line up exactly but here’s how I hope it goes…
Units pile in the dessert.
SoZ completes.
Make shrewd trades.
Check for Carthage in Anarchy. If so, even better. If still in Despot give it a turn.
No matter Carthage’s government we should declare.
It would be nice to hold a tech or something back to pull Greece and maybe Germany into the fray.
Within 20 turns we’ll have the horses and ivory.
Make peace w/ Carthage and screw them out of anything we can.
Revolt to Republic and build keshiks.
Dow on Germany and collect the incense.
I think this is far enough into the future.

I won't be able to play today as an uni-assignment is getting out of hand. Will Drakdan or Mirc take my place for now? I can play tomorrow afternoon or evening after them. Ok?
