Good to see we've made some gains, albeit at the expense of science. We need to get to the point where we can get ahead in tech, therefore I aimed to maximize the gains from America, get peace and switch to Republic and infrastructure.
Inherited turn
No changes.
(1) 360AD
I decide on the target for the next attack. Miami would be counterproductive, as three out of six American cities are far enough away from it to be plagued with corruption. So I choose between Boston and San Fransisco. Boston would be more produtive for us if I get a leader and rush the Forbidden Palace at Washington. Boston it is then. I begin by massing troops in St Louis for next attack wave.
(2) 370AD
Well it happens sooner than expected. An elite horsie kills an American archer and a Great Leader is born [dance] He is sent into safer lands en route to Washington. We will get our Forbidden Palace. A couple of American Swords which have fortified themselves in the mountains are killed before they can reach St Louis. Our troops begin the march to Buffalo.
(3) 380AD
Great Leader arrives in Washington. Barracks is due there in three turns, so I decide to make the switch to Forbidden Palace after it completes. Greece moves units around St Louis and declares war. I decide a strategy of getting out of this war quickly, once I kill a few hoplites of course
(4) 390AD
Kill some greek horses and warriors I begin the attack on Buffalo, but they are blessed with super-spearman, who kills a couple of horses and makes a couple more reteat.
(5) 400AD
Barracks are completed at Washington. Start Forbidden Palace, and rush it using our leader there.
(6) 410AD
[dance] Forbidden Palace comes online [dance] Buffalo is finally captured and I move in ONE horseman with ONE hit point left
Reinforcements are sent. We get two free workers from the capture though.
(7) 420AD
More dead Americans
Swordsman reinforces Buffalo. I veto the current improvements and start walls at Buffalo and St Louis. FP lowers corruption, and as a result we increase science to 70%.
(8) 430AD
Walls complete at St Louis. I start a temple there as it's worryingly close to the current American capitol. I sue for peace with America. We get Denver plus all of their techs - 3 in total. Denver is miles out of the way, and I took it as a diversion for the Greeks. I have no intention of trying to keep it. I attempt to get peace with Greece, but they refuse our envoy.
(9) 440AD
Start Sun Tzu's in Tenochtitlan. We have gold EVERYWHERE and none of it is online or mined. Time to get it online in preparation for switch to republic once we're at peace with Greece. Greece shows little sign of a large army though, we're only getting sporadic archers and warriors,with the odd hoplite. I get the feeling they don't have any iron. Due to the low attack intensity, I switch a lot of cities to infrastructure, as we have plenty of troops. I also remove troops from American territory.
(10) 450AD
Greece refuses our envoy again. Denver keeps them busy, as they send a number of troops there to take it. I mass-fortify St Louis and Buffalo. The people think I'm doing a great job and add to the palace. Nearly everyone is now building Sun Tzu's.
(11) 460AD
(12) 470AD
(13) 480AD
Kill some Greeks, then talk them into a peace treaty. Despite taking Denver, they're stupid enough to not insist on anything else other than the peace treaty.
(14) 490AD
Switch to Anarchy, then to Republic. Greeks start Sistine. I notice that there is a palace placeholder at Teot, which I reserve for a head start on Sistine once we get Theology in three turns. More fortification of Buffalo.
(15) 500AD
Science reduced to (I think) 50%. Still doing better than we were on Monarchy.
(16) 510AD
(17) 520AD
I watch the exploring Chinese galley procession around our shores. Theology is researched and the Oracle is obsolete. I order up Engineering.
(18) 530AD
I consider Sistine to be more important so switch from palace to Sun Tzu's in Teot. Tenochtitlan is now building Sistine (switched from Sun Tzu's).
(19) 540AD
(20) 550AD
Easyname and Mountain city have serious disorder problems. I have to order up Entertainers, but Mountain City is now starving. Cathedrals ordered in both cities.
Well in summary not a bad set of turns. We are at peace with all other Civs, and we have the Forbidden Palace up and running. And we're a republic.
We have Sistine's and Sun Tzu's under construction. Hopefully we'll get one of them.
Here's the save.

Mr. Lincoln is still the cry baby my daddy fought. Complains because most of our army crossed there borders 
We contact the English, talk about a backwards people. They pay $20 for our territory map. They want to buy currency, philosphy, horseback riding, etc!![[party]](/images/smilies/partytime.gif "Party [party]")
