No NM wins on my turns. The warrior that was on the mountain when my turns started defended against a NM, then beat an archer, then lost to an archer. That was the only battle sequence during my 10.
Sounds good to me.
Ok. I will settle near the grapes first...
and I don't think it makes much of a difference if Carthage gets into GA in despotism, especially if we pillage him good with those spears.
Sure we will see more archers heading our way, but that should be doable.

Pre-flight: Well, what do we see here... 2 archers, 2NM and 2 our workers that have to run away and that's what we do = running away. I do have an archer in Leipzig, but idon't want to risk losing to NM and sending Carthage to GA.
It sure feels safer behind the city walls.
IBT. Hannibal attacks Leipzig and lozes one NM and an archer. our spear gets promoted.
T1. 1225BC. Leipzig Archer->Archer. Workers finished mining the gold hill. Moved Berlin's citizen from forest to hill to maximize gold output. Pillage a tile near Carthage. Move another pillaging spear on top of mountain to evade an archer and NM i see in close proximity.
IBT. NM attacks our spear in Leipzig, dies and magnificient Barbarossa is born. Carthage archers fortifies itself on top of the hill. I am dissaponted... So what do we suppose to do, build an archer army????? Khm....... I hate that idea, I truly do and since we don't have many elite units chances to get another leader are so slim. I will keep the guy around for a while and see how it goes. We don't need an army at right this turn.
T2. 1200BC. Moving spears near carthage to do more pillaging. Kill that fortified archer.
T3. 1175BC. Nicely pillage 2 more tiles in Carthage land. but one of our spears left in quite vulnerable position.
We running out of gold, I am juggling with slider and Math is due next turn.
T4. 1150BC. Berlin settler->warrior. 2 workers moved on top of grapes. 2 workers on river hill and one worker keeps putting a road towards Iron. Math comes and I sell it to Babylon in exchange of Writing, CB and whopping 108Gold. I am going for Philosophy gambit in 10turns. Switching Berlin to settler. Berlin grows in Phylo in 7.
T5. 1125BC. Spear duet is moving to the new tile near Carhage. I am using spears in pair to pillage, safer that way and will cause more damage at the end. Hammurabi has Myst, HB and MM.
IBT. Archer exits Carthage and picks at our fortified spear.. Silly archer dies and proves my theory of pillaging.
T6. 1100BC Konigsber is found, grapes connected. we move slider down to 10%, science up to 90% and Phylo in 4 turns.
Pillaging near Carthage
GAP
T9. 1025BC Moving workers around. lux up 20%. science down 80%. There is something wrong here... Some how i lost few turns or something. Please disregard all the dates above.... It is 1025BC now and i have a gap in my records... How the heck has this happened????????
T10. 1000BC. I've moved spears to pillage wheat tile next turn, didn't do anything else.
Post-turn: Settler is on half-way towards iron. Team is to decide the exact city location. Philosophy is due next turn i suggest we pick one of the most expensive techs of AA which would be Construction or Currency. Hanburg could be switched to curragh in search for more tribes. Remember we have Barbarossa fortified in Leipzig. I wish it was PTW and I could rush nice Pyramids with the guy. We can actually keep him around and rush FP when we get enough cities built.

slowly, but surely, we are pushing. maybe the next settler goes SE of Berlin so we can get another low corruption town spitting out units. otherwise, the slow snake towards the ottos (and those 2 luxes) begins
i think we advance, via towns and road, steadily but directly at them.

I thought about that settling SE from Berlin as well... We need to settle there before Hammurabi does and city could be placed just across the river.
Carthage is not a big danger to us, their economy ruined by our 2 brave spearmen.
I just hope Hammurabi doesn't declare on us before we are ready.

We look pretty good here. 
Take out Carthage & Babylon and we will have an excellent economy.
If this was AW I'd say make a spear army which can safely pillage for centuries. Since we will only be at war with one civ at a time (we hope), a sword army seems to be a good play, or the FP.
I'm sure Bede will make the right call.

Built Frankfurt to claim the iron and Munich SE.
Hannibal's Legions (4 archers and 2 NuMercs) appeared so garrisons was pulled out of Berlin and Konigsberg to cover first Hamburg Bridge, then Leipzig. The archers died attacking Hamburg Bridge.
An expeditionary force had been heading N to protect the silks ground, then turned back to provide coverage to Leipzig and to kill any wounded NuMerc.
Barbarossa awaits enough swords for an army.
Berlin switched to sword building duty when Hannibal appeared form the north.
The Philosphy gambit was good for Construction and then was sold to Hammurabi for Map Making and 20g. Then once his trreasury was back to speed Construction was good for Mysticism and Code of Laws and 158g.
Research was turned off so I could more efectively manage some happiness issues as garrisons moved around. We can turn up the bunsen burners to Currency if we like.
Leipzig may be hit by NuMercs, though it is more likely they will bypass the town and cut the road to the iron. We should be able to kill them before they do and even if they do build some more cheap warriors than use the pile o' cash for upgrades.
And our brave pillagers have been moving counterclockwise around Carthage removing roads and mines.

I lean toward a sword army to rid the land of carthage, then we can use it to take the spices from Babylon. Since we will be at war all game long an army will be very useful.
A sword army with 8 cats for support and spear cover to allow for healing is an ancient age steamroller.
