I checked the save and we are unable to trade with Either Ottoman's and Egyptians, because there is no more land-route to their capital. I took some fortified unit and walked through the lands:
Giza nuked, Thebes nuked, Helipolis nuked. Can't reach Ottoman land, we have no ROP with them.
Giza nuked, Thebes nuked, Helipolis nuked. Can't reach Ottoman land, we have no ROP with them.
Tech pace, there ain't no tech pace and we can't buy any.
Both capitols are nuclear wastelands, the spaceships, if any parts were built, are probably gone (if nukes destroy spaceship parts), the trade routes are completely destroyed, and missiles are still dropping about every third turn. Accordingly I switched every city except the cultural aggressors to infantry or artillery.
Both sides now accuse us of cheating them. When the nukes destroyed the road net we had trade deals running, one of them an extortion of spices by Cleopatra as I did not renew the wines for spices deal fearing destruction of the trade net.
It may be time to open a floodgate and let the Ottoman and Egyptian armor at each other. Cleo still has lots of force in Madrid, the tanks and armor are square dancing in the three tiles left to the town, so if we let her into the east, Delhi will fall. We could shift the blockade north to cover the Ottoman homeland then watch Cleo take what remains of the Ottoman cities in the south and east. I think our border expansions would get us as much territory as Cleo gains and the tiles she needs to cement her win are in the Ottoman homeland anyway.
There are 150 turns left in the game and we are more than that from the Modern Era unless we mortgage the economy. If Egypt and the Ottomans can beat each other into plowshares, then we stand a chance of taking the Ottoman lands but we still have to take territory from Cleo for a Domination victory and she still has a huge stack of armor and mechs in Madrid.
We have 56 infantry, three or four artillery and some upgradeable cannon, and lots of obsoletes in the blockade line. We are 140 turns from tanks at minimum science. So maybe a minimum run at MassProd, then max to tanks, and build some tanks while Cleo and Osman continue to nuke each other, and we let Cleo use up some of her armor on the Ottoman outposts while we continue the blockade of his homeland then invade the Ottoman Empire with Cleo using up her army then turn on Cleo.

http://www.civfanatics.net/uploads8/Ranking.JPGIHT: Switched Anjar to Stock Exchange. Karashok to barracks. Can't trade with anyone. Look around Ottoman and Egyptian lands with a Cavalry-unit. The Ottomans barely have an un-nuked city left; while the Egyptians were only hit on a few cities. In fact; the Egyptians migtht have more "Normal pollution" than nuke-polution.
IBT: UN won't beat us flips to the Egyptians. Egypt starts building the Internet.
[1] 1852 AD. We can trade with Egypt again. I have no desire to do so. I open up a line to some weak Egyptian cities.
IBT:
Karasjok barracks -> Inf
[2] 1854 AD. Clean polution.
IBT: New Orleans and UN wont beat us fall to the Ottomans, Egyptians recapture "UN won't beat us".
[3] 1856 AD. Trades with the Ottomans is back online. Trade incense for Saltpeter. Wines for Spices from the Egyptians. Set lux-slider to 0%
Making another line of blockers. Best for us is to let both Egypt and Ottomans capture eachother's cities. But absolutely best is to have a Palace in the East. But I don't want to go into war to get a great leader.
IBT: UN wont beat us is now Ottoman again.
[4] 1858 AD. Opening a gap to Egyptian Amarna for the Ottomans.
IBT: Lake View flips to the Ottomans.
[5] 1860 AD. Sending all new-build Infs to act as anti-flip units in cities. Opening the blockade between the far-east and the east. Let the Ottomans and Egyptians fight.
IBT: BEngal falls to the Ottomans
[6] 1862 AD. Helping the Ottomans by building rails in their lands. Opening up more tunnels.
IBT: UN wont beat us in Egyptian again.
[7] 1864 AD. Ottomans lack Oil now. "gift" Oil + Coal for Gems. Still can't buy ELectronics.
IBT: Yet Moreland flips to the Ottomans.
[8] 1866 AD. Cant buy Electronics, but I can buy Mass production. Buy it off the Ottomans for WM + 2600 Gold.
IBT: UN wont beat us is Ottoman again, killing an Egyptian GL.
And then this:
What can I say ??

Just a quick post to subscribe to the thread...caught Ankka's post in the announcements thread and wanted to see what a diety nukefest looked like. This seems... unusual...
Edit: Boy, do I feel like an idiot... didn't notice the game was already over.

Scout: same happend to me, just I had the luck that you already posted 
Quite an epic game, thanks to everybody who played to the end. 
@Bede: I think Egypt launched, look at their score.
Well, we did as good as we could. We just let Egypt come too big there... Way too big...
Ah, well, it is over now.
Thanks again to everybody.
