10 turns of epic speed this early sure are dry.
Turn 0 :
trade with Liz
I chose priesthood to get a temple somewhere and sailing cuz we need lighthouses in those coastal cities taken from Toku
For alphabet, I will wait till someone can give maths or something worth it
Turn 1 :
Switch Kyoto from granary to Jewish temple. There is lot of food there, so we can feed a priest and keep growing
scout and two immortals are sent on exploring duty
Turn 2 :
Pillaging funds are finished. We are postive at +40%.
Turn 3 : Zzzzzz. little MM
Turn 4 : Saladin completes the pyramids at Mecca. He seems like a nice future victim
Turn 5 : Zzzzzzz
Turn 6 : Perspolis finishes library and builds research. Literature is due in 3 turns
Turn 7 : Pasargadae finishes granary and starts sword. Not much beakers there and lib is the only available build. Let's get swords to go take these pyramids
Saladin has maths but won't trade it
Whip jewish temple in Kyoto for 2 pops. City will grow again in 2 turns
Turn 8 : Tokyo finishes workboat and resumes the granary
Turn 9 :
Literature is in. Capital starts the great library
Tokyo finishes granary and starts lighthouse
Hire a priest in Kyoto to get a prophet for a shrine in Osaka
Research is set on COL. No one has it yet and economy is not looking very well
Turn 10 :
Zzzzzzz
Still no interesting tech trade at end of turnset
Once another AI gets maths. Sally will probably accept to trade it.
Susa and Osaka can finish libs then switch to military mode to go hammer sally's head. Mecca is a tempting prey. It is Hindu holy city and has pyramids
If you hire scientists, don't take two in the same city. We need to get this shrine (jewish or hindu) first

Sorry for the delay, been very busy watching football !
Good turnset Blid.
T0:Mecca certainly looks like a good target next. My only concern is that Elizabeth is friendly with Sal and I would have like to keep her happy (wonder if we can get her to declare ?).
Need to start getting cottages up in Capitol
Kyoto will make a good GP farm, 4 fish resources !
T1: Start building road towards Mecca border.
Oh dear, Looks like we need more aggression !
T2: Take a look at Mecca which has 1 spear and 2 archers (1 city defense) and Damascus which has 1 axe and 1 archer. Quite weak, I guess Saladin is still expanding. Decide to look at a couple more cities and see he is not hiding anything.
T3: Medina has Archer and Spear. Looks like Sal does not beleive in defense or maybe his hindu god will protect him from us ?
Sword-->Sword in Pasargadae.
T4: Baghdad has 1 Spear & 1 Archer.
Taking Sal as soon as possible makes sense, although our army is only just big enough and we are not building a lot of military.
Possibly take only Mecca due to our finance, although the site below Pasargadae may be worth it with 2 gems it will pay it's maintenance quickly if we can clear the jungle.
T5: Whip a spear in Kyoto just before is grows. Production to library for scientist later. Leave priest in place.
T6: Move army out of Kyoto towards Mecca border.
Sal wil now trade Mathematics but only for Alphabet so I dont bother.
The problem with getting literature is that you cannot trade it without trading Alphabet first, ah well...
T7: Saladin has Great Prophet in Mecca, will he make religious building, does this get destroyed when you take a city ? or maybe he's just saving for a golden age like the AI seems to do.
T8:Library-->Sword in Susa. Library-->Barracks in Osaka (not really a production centre but it will do early on).
Sal is saving that prophet so maybe he already have religious building.
T9: Toku demands Alphabet, although he pulls a very scary face at me I decide not to give it to him.
We now have -5 with Toku so he may well declare war soon regardless of our strength.
Move army out of osaka.
Finally get a look at Najran. 2 Archers defending.
T10: Pasargadae reaches happy limit, whip a spear.
We are looking a bit stronger now.
We now have enough of an army to take out Mecca, and I would suggest Najran as well (units from Pasargadae). I wouldn't leave it too long in case Sal gets construction and can build elephants.
We have very lightly defended towns though so if Elizabeth or Toku declares war this could be a problem. I might consider taking priest and gold off i Kyoto for 3 turns to grow 1 in case we need to whip a defender.
Great Library in 7 turns.
We are making 22gpt with 0% science.We have enough gold for 8 turns of 100%, but COL is 11 turns. I would probably start on 100% at start of next turnset though as we will get money for Mecca within 8 turns.
We have quite a bit of food so I think we need Monarchy to solve happiness sooner rather than later or we will be restricting ourselves, possibly Sal will give it in peace negotiations but I doubt it.
Good Luck!

Successfully prosecuted the attack against Mecca; the city is ours. There are currently a lot of military units in production and our upkeep is fairly high, so some can be left unbuilt if they end up not being needed. I am maneuvering units to take Narjan and hopefully Damascus.
T0. Set research 100%, emphasized growth in Kyoto.
T1. Pasagardae: Spearman>Swordsman.
T2. Pasagardae: Swordsman>Swordsman.
T3. Pasagardae: Swordsman>Swordsman. Discovered a Saladin Archer behind our lines, so I switched Tokyo to a Swordsman, started moving a Swordsman form Pasagardae and held off the attack for a turn. Whipped the Great Library.
T4. Tokugawa asks us to convert to Judaism. I agree since we are about to destroy relations with Saladin and Elizabeth anyway. Persepolis: Great Library>Swordsman. WAR! is declared on Saladin.
T5. Captured worker.
T6: Elizabeth wants to trade Crabs for our Iron, I give her Clams instead
. Susa: Swordsman>Swordsman. Whip Library in Kyoto.
T7. Elizabeth offers Mathematics for Alphabet. I turn her down. Kyoto: Library>Lighthouse. The attack force arrives in position.
T8. Immortals dispatch archer behind our lines. The attack on Mecca begins! We take the city with no losses
. I kill an Archer outside of Narjan with a Swordsman. 167gp are plundered. Switched Lighthouse and Swordsman in Tokyo.
T9. Persepolis: Swordsman>Immortal. Our weakened Swordsman is killed by an Archer fro Narjan. Our Axeman attacks the Archer, but looses
. One Archer left in Narjan, one weakened just outside the city.
T10. Pasagardae: Swordsman>Swordsman. Osaka: Barracks>Swordsman.

save
while Czech is giving USA a run for their money, I hope I will give Saladin some issues
Pre-Turn
since we have the pyramids, switch to representation
1. 65AD
move troops
2. 80AD
we have CoL now, time for some trading I think, go for CS
get 4 techs from Lizzy
3. 95AD
as usual for the AI, Sladin moves chariot out of Narjan, thanks a lot
lose a sword attacking the city, still stands now
4. 110AD
capture Najran without further losses
Damascus looks much tougher with 4 defenders
5. 125AD
Mecca comes online, whip a granary since it is starving anyway
Saladin must have moved out an archer, now only 3 defenders left
lose axe and immortal, but the city is ours as well including 2 more workers
the main objective os this war is achieved, Saldin would even give us mathematics, let's try and get
one more city
6. 140AD
well, Medina has just 2 defenders, good, go for that as well
7. 155AD
wine is online now, defeat an archer that came to support Medina
8. 170AD
Medina suddenly has 4 defenders, we have 5 attacker next turn
Lizzy has philosophy now, hmm the next target I guess
9. 185AD
Saladin comes and want to have peace for maths, well let's check first
attack Medina, defeat 3 units, spear left inside which I don't attack due to low odds
whip a court, we need more since we expanded very fast here
10. 200AD
take Medina, income rock bottom, suggest to generously whip courts
I would go for peace and take maths so we can go for currency which we need
we will get a GS in our capital next turn

Ok turns completed.
Btw, I pressed enter 1 time extra by mistake, but havent made any moves on the turn, so I apologize for that.
Basically, took Saladins capital, than declared peace iwth him for Calander. Traded CoL to Tokugawa for math and opened borders with him, adopted bearuacracy and organized religion once civil service came in.
I think we are probably going to be in builder mode for 20-25 turns and then we can eliminate all the AI's from our island once we have catupults and construction.
