IHT: Decide to send the settler from Factory to go grab the iron (there's already a Russian galley in view and we don't want to lose it !). Send the spear with it as an escort in case of barbs, so Washington contributes a spear of its own to Settler Factory. Swap Chicago and Miami over to workers. Lux to 10% for one turn to keep SetFac happy.
On second thought, I swap Seattle and SF over to workers too.
975 BC (1) Washington worker - spear. Chicago worker - temple
Babylonians build the Great Wall.
I decide to ditch the Monarchy run (we're supposed to go for a representative government anyway
). Then buy CoL from the French for 215 gold and 3gpt, then sell it to the Germans for Philo and 3g. I start a min sci run on republic (we'll hopefully be able to trade for it before it ends though !).
925 BC (3) I needn't have worried about the Russians poaching our iron as they found a city more to the south first. English boot us out; the settler coming back moves in the right direction but we can forget about bringing back the conscript - he's disbanded lest we piss off the English any further.
900 BC (4) English, Babs start Sun Tzu. Found Houston next to the iron.
875 BC (5) We get the FP message, English start HG.
850 BC (6) Our scout in French lands spots a Dutch sword. Settler factory produces, you guessed it, a settler but it starts on another worker next.
825 BC (7) Found Buffalo downriver from Washington.
800 BC (8) Settler Factory worker - settler.
775 BC (9) Found St. Louis to the East of Settler Factory, only barely beating a French settler pair there. Mao demands and gets 20 gold.
750 BC (10) French extort us too. Spears arrive in Seattle and San Francisco, another one heads for St. Louis. Boston temple - worker.
Furs from Philly will be online in 2 turns, the ones from Frisco might take a little longer but we'll be able to sell them to the English in a couple of turns by building a road out of Boston. With the end of the previous tech deal we now make 27gpt - a twofer might still be possible as Germany only has Construction over us. The other civs are up that and Lit, Currency, Republic, Monarchy and Feudalism at least. I would however say we're in pretty decent shape if it hadn't been for the Dutch war which might come back to haunt us. I suggest we end it ASAP before they buy in anyone who actually can hurt us.
Oh, and here's the save

The Russians send in a warrior 
Ther Gemans are also going to war. A lot of troops block the route for our scout!
All civs are Mono, Feud and Engineering up on us (not to mention, Lit, Monarchy and Republic) Germans are only Feud and Republic up on us.
