since we are a republic already, it would be a good idea to start GA so that we can gain more culture wonders for our 20k city

For the GA - use a 3MC to hit a RL unit
preflight (350ad)
wake our single 3mc and send him towards the front
MM Tarsus to get KT in 8 instead of 9
ibt:
greeks landed troops by undefended Adana
turn 1 (360ad)
killed both Greeks by Adana and kicked of GA (used our 3mc)
failed to take Athens
ibt:
got a palace expansion
turn 2 (370ad)
captured Athens - barely
turn 3 (380ad)
moving troops
turn 4 (390ad)
moving troops
had to increase lux
ibt: Sumeria demanded 94g - told them to take a hike - hoping for some WW, but they didn't declare war
turn 5 (400ad)
moving troops
ibt: built KT in Tarsus
turn 6 (410ad)
position troops to attack Thermopylae next turn
ibt: more WW
turn 7 (420ad)
capture Thermopylae, generating a leader.
He's sent back towards Tarsus (maybe switch from Sistine's to HE, then rush HE and then start Sistine's again).
was able to lower lux due to new lux of dyes by Thermopylae
turn 8 (430ad)
moving troops
turn 9 (440ad)
moving troops
turn 10(450ad)
Capture Pharsalos
Went ahead and rushed HE in Tarsus as I have some elites ready to attack Argos - hoping for another leader.
Attacked and captured Argos. Lost 1 elite and didn't have any promotions or leaders
For Discussion:
What do you think about switching coastal cities to galleys and shipping troops over to raze Sumerian cities? I don't think we'll be able to keep them due to their massive culture. We definitely need to raze their big culture cities that have more culture than Tarsus.

It is not even to the 1000 A.D. I would not get anxious about attacking others. I would focus on getting markets all over our core, then running some temples and or bachs/sistenes.
I think we are doing just fine. Once tanks show up, we can smoke anyone.

short term goal is to eliminate the Greeks, then we can think of other targets
I also change a few builds in the core to markets or courts
IT HE in, change and rush courthouse
1 raze Troy, found New Hattusha
2. Persians took the spot I wanted to settle in former Greece
4. found New Tyrana, capture Thessalonika, take Corinth with army
IT Ottoman finish Sun Tzu, Sumer builds Bach
oh oh Byzantines land spear and sword next to New Tarsus defended by 1 2hp warrior
5. go for immediate steal and succeed, get education
Take Ephesus
IT expected Byzantines declare war and raze New Tarsus, well...
6. we need banking and Sumer has it, so for another immediate steal and get it
7. we take Herakleia and Greece is 0CC
8. Found New Tarsus at the old spot
10. take out Eritrea and Greeks are history
we can attack Babylon, they have 3 towns or we can shift focus to Sumer soon
some trading opportunities are open
sistine in 13 but GA ends next turn, so I don't know what that will mean

Sumeria finished Magellans. Byz sank a curragh. Sumeria finished Sistine. Tarsus switched to Leo's. Ottomans and Sumerians both have Music Theory. We could steal or buy and switch Leo's to Bach's. sumeria and ottomans up MT, astro, guns. Sumeria also up econ. We have 3147g, making 252gpt. Still at war with Byz., WW not a problem. Need to concentrate the forces and work up a plan if we're going to war. Build some CH and markets, started a few banks

I got it, and will play it after Scout 1c. I have pre-marital counseling the next couple of days, so it may take the full 48 or a touch longer.

Don't do it, run away while you have a chance. Run, run, run. Good luck. I've been married for 15+ years.

Run from the counseling or the Marriage?
Is this why you host "Idiot" games?

Both. 
Counseling won't tell you anything you don't already know if you've found the right partner. men go into marraige with the idea they get to keep the women they're marrying. Women go into it with the idea that they can get rid of all those male "faults" (i.e. golf, sports, poker, evil friends, etc.). Best wishes. 'Idiot' games are my allowed outlet.

Early, Sumeria completes 3 wonders, bachs, smiths and cops. Argh. I declare war on Babylon. I had 2 steals go wrong but no war decleration.
Middle: Take two bab cities, make peace with Byz as their dromons are bombarding us to snot. Get Narcissis for peace.
Late: Pop a MGL, rush FP in Tarsus. Finish Leo's, rush a university. Declare on Sumeria, take 1 city, burn 2 others. Create world dogpile on them. I signed the Ottos up giving 157 gpt for 2 techs. Watch this!!
We have saltpeter, and I am hooking up more sources.
Taursus is 2nd in culture and is at 20 spt. Next wonder we should get should be Newtons, with a side trip to the mil academy.

Preturn- Boats, I don't have enough boats. Changed a couple temple builds that I wasn't sure of, a certain monk just might see 
.
1
Rush some boats, I think I've got an idea.
2
Shruppak captured, no more Babs.
4
Buy Furs from the Byzantines for Education. Buy Chemistry from Osman for 1425 gold. Buy Silks from Persia for Banking. Buy Wines from Otto for Chemistry. Turn lux off, people still are very happy.
8
IBT- Sumeria enters the Industrial Age (gulp.)
10
New Ankuwa founded.
Next player, just keep putting troops in those boats and send them to kill Sumeria (at least somewhat) soon. Hopefully they won't have rifles yet.

I suggest we take all those troops immediately, get them over and raze some towns. then sign peace and establish a beach head for the next wave of pounding once we have Cav's.
if we wait longer, they will have rifles or worse, infantry. rrau, pound them a bit
btw, if we want a 20k win, the culture city should always build culture or palace as prebuild, whyis it set on knights?
