First our stomping grounds:
Still at war with Monty, but he has nothing to give us . and I mean nothing. No money, no techs, and he sure as hell wont part with the 5 cities I want razed.
My basic plan is to continue the war with Monty, razing his 5 cities that are in our neutral territory, then make peace for anything hell give us & plant a slave on the mountain pass. That way hell have to use galleys to move settlers which will limit him dropping cities somewhat & leave us with 2 Civs pinned down.
Since we have plenty of troops in the area, Im going to concentrate on getting our 3 cities optimal: Alesia needs a harbor to take advantage of the extra gold the collusus gives our coastal tiles, I can also mine the cattle since itll be capped at 12. Entremont needs a couple more reg grasslands switched from mines to irrigation so when it caps at 12 well be able to use the 4 hills in the area(were only using 1 right now). Hopefully this will get it up to 20spt, I dont feel like doing the math. Lugdunum needs its 2 forests chopped then irrigated so it can grow to size 10(maybe even 11 if we luck out & get a plains under one of them). Thankfully Bugs left me some stacks of workers in the area that just completed our Spice colony. Once that is well underway the Knights will be coming out in full force.
Now for the funny part:
Were wrecking heads with a dismal military.
Were weak compared to Arabia, average to Carthage, & strong against everyone else.
On another note Germany, America, Carthage, & Arabia all have Printing Press. The cheapest we can get it is 14gpt & 70g(sure hurts our trading when everyone hates us because we like to burn cities full of screaming people:shrug: ) Im gonna turn our research off for now(saves us 5gpt) & well have to rely on pointy stick for a bit.
Even though Carthage & Arabias military will be able to keep pace or outclass ours, we can still raze their cities that lie W of America and will be poorly defended & hard to reinforce for techs. But you guys are right, its going to take some work to take everyone out. Im thinking once we get a nice sized stack of Knights we can declare on Arabia then drag Carthage into it, those 2 can beat at each other while we clean out America & start heading west. Yea, its thinking very positive, but gotta have a plan right?
PTMMing looks great, 0 changes. I love following bugs when he only has 3 cities to go through.
Switch Lugdunum from Knight to Market.
Switch Alesia from Knight to Harbor.
Send an extra spear from Lugdunum towards Entremont so I can turn off our Lux tax.
We have 18 turns remaining on our gpt deal with Carthage, since its that long I buy an RoP for WM & 41g. Thatll speed up our troop movement, because they occupy 90% of our war zone
IT Watch like 8 Carthagion settlers squat out towns. (actually just 4)
Mongols start Sistine.
T1-(560AD) MM Alesia to coastal tiles for 9 more gpt.
Workers from Spice Colony head north for renovations.
Spear from Lugdunum arrives at Entremont, turn lux tax off.
Im sending our slaves near the front over to our incence colony to road though that giant patch of mountains, since no one will be able to drop cities on them & it will be along time before culture overtakes the whole thing well at least have a partial road to work with so we dont have to cave to RoPs all the time.
Trade Gunpowder to Mongols for Printing Press & WM. Start a gambit on Education.
Gotta show you guys this one, in typical AI brilliance: Despite having horses, 3 floodplains, a wheat, a bunch of hills/plains/grasslands & furs all in the capitols 21(Korokorum really is a perfect mix of territory). The Mongols have managed 0 irrigation, 2 mines, and exactly 3 roaded tiles .. by 560AD.
Way to be a superpower guys!
Yes, this map is completely current. I just got their WM in the deal, thats pretty pathetic.

**End o turn report**
*Troops are marching on the last 2 Aztec cities on the mainland. Its up to you if you want to finish those off or make peace, my plans got delayed because I had to run around Arabs, Carthagians, Americans & even Zulu clogging up my roads.
*Arabs & Americans have Education & Chemistry, I think we can take out the last Aztec cities in 2-3 turns. Spend 3-4 turns or so healing, repositioning troops, & bringing in reinforcements; then attack the 4-5 Arabian cities around, make peace for those techs, by then our deals will be over with Carthage(9 turns left on RoP). Thats my wishful thinking for the next guy, but you saw how I got delayed. However I do think its doable, my Mountain Pass road is set to be finished in like 8 turns or so, the Arabian cities are newly founded, small & corrupt. Not to mention we cant lose that Spices Colony!

Good turns Gengis! I'm glad your RNG luck changed for a while. Getting Leo's will be important.
I think we might want to start thinking genocide. When we go to war, we knock them down for point stick research. Then 20 turns later eliminate that civ. Unless they are nice and stay in their playpen like Shaka has.

Oh, another idea => the next time we go to war, let's bring Shaka in as an ally. Maybe he might get wiped off the face of the earth.
pindicator
Emperor
I don't know about bringing Shaka in as an ally. I think we want to save him for last to get killed. He's had only 2 cities for forever, and does not pose the expansion threat that every other civ (hopefully not the Aztecs any more) pose to us now. And when he dies, someone else will just constantly resettle his lands. If we can, I would say leave Shaka til the end; he's practically dead already.
I think the answer is to get Arabia and Carthage to fight each other. That way they're expending their energy on each other and not on constantly resettling the land in front of us. Either that or it's time for the largest worker land-blockade ever constructed by man (or machine).

May play tonight, otherwise expect dispatches PM.
Nice job, yoshi and ol' GK1 AW buddies. All that carnage with only 24 effectives.
I agree with yoshi. Raze and repeat.
Aztecs, Arabs, Cartago delenda est is the right order I think. Involving anybody else would take them out of settler production mode and they would be building troops instead.
But, the Civ gods and goddesses act a lot like the Greek dieties in Homer. Just when you think you're on a roll, somebody gets offended because you slaughtered the wrong cow and orders up either a storm or an earthquake and wrecks your boat or your army, or a big snake strangles your soothsayer. Good thing this is a panagea map, we don't have to deal with Neptune.

Well done, brother Bede 
Hmm, i like this hammer zone for research, it also burnes resources of the civs who constantly resettle the area. When we do a blockade we maybe could turn to the east. But then most ai hate us enough to declare, so it would not be advisable to relocate our military. Since the big three mainlands (arab, carthago, america) are quite far away, the hammer zone is the best place where we can go leader fishing and do some pointy stick research.

Shouldn't that be sweep us away, maybe blow us away even??
Brute force and awkwardness will be more effective than finesse at this point. Concentrate the troops in the mountains around the incense colony and whomp on the uppity ones as they appear. If we can keep them off the plains then the other options they have are really unattractive.
Arabs and Carthage need whupping now as their towns in the battlegrounds are getting large.
Abe's drifting settlers across our territory onto the south coast and into the Mongol lands, which is not such a bad thing if he gets tied up in a cat fight with the Khan. Thing to look out for is an alliance beween those two.
