I bet JB was just waiting for me to get back into town, so that I won't miss anything. Right?

Sorry to stall things out. RL crept up on me.
Let me know when I'm back in the order.
Always feel free to PM me and rattle my cage.

Turn [0] 30BC- Take a look around. Very nice position for us. Iroquios have there work cut out for them. 
IBT- I'll stick to your idea of worker farm/sword. Its a very nice idea. Some movement of Iroquios galley to our south. GJ with the sword. I don't know if you guys know, but there is war in other parts in the world also! Russia is fighting the Zulu.
Turn [1] 10BC- Attacking of Iroquios advancing units is going along with some ok luck. We lose our Elite sword to a redlined veteren sword. Thems the brakes. Worker actions completed. Adcancing Iroquios Swords are destroyed.
IBT- Markets and swords complete. Making more swords/markets/workers.
Turn [2] 10AD- At the turn of the Millenium, we are in somewhat dire straits. The Iroquios are definantly sending more units to reclaim their cities. Took out the first row. Another set of 2 Vet swords and 1 reg spear will come in next.
IBT- Inca and Korea sign a peace treaty. Iroquios split their attack to Faro and Akwasnase. (Murdered the spelling on that i bet.)
Turn [3] 30AD- RNG is smiling upon us! We make an elite swordsman. Kill most of the Swordsmen in our territory and take no casualties. Worker actions and nothing else very special.
IBT- Spain demands Literature. We refuse. She declares War. She can't get to us. No biggie there. Builds and such finish.
Turn [4] 50AD- No unit losses. Iroquios lose 3 sword. Move 1 catapult, 4 swords out of Akwesasne to Allhegney.
IBT- Defending units holding. Times up north will be hard!
Turn [5] 70AD- Switch all tundra cities to defensive units. All done in 1. To hold invasions off. Up north we eliminate all invading swords/archers. No enemies in our territory. Next stop, the mountains near Faro and takng Allhegney.
IBT- Defenders hold. Nothing special.
Turn [6] 90AD- Nothing special. No attacks. An eery calm...
IBT- Iroquios advance more.
Turn [7] 110AD- Attack Iroquios units. Prepare for Iroquios Invasion next turn. Itll be dicey. Other than that nothing special.
IBT- Multiple beginnings of the GW. Iroquios movements.
Turn [8] 130AD- Beef up defense in Faro. Will be hit by 5 reg swords next turn. Both the Incans and the Arabians jump into the MA. Quite late for Emperor. Must be alot of war out there.
IBT- Units around Faro scatter. Mostly into their own land. Galley finally drops off 1 reg sword near town defended by a mere reg warrior. But, 2 vet swords are right there.
Turn [9] 150AD- The Iroquios army is larger then ours. I still havent seen any MW. Good. they do not have a GA yet. We could use one soon. Movements/MM. Kill invading sword down south.
IBT- A sword left in enemy territory kills 2 vet swords on defense. Thx RNG.
Turn [10] 170AD- Move units around, nothing entirely big.
Here is the save. Pics will not load. Request next player at end of his turns show: The front line, the country, and our military thx.

Already then, here are my 9 turns. I didn't make as much progress as I wanted, taking only one city. Yet, I started an infrastructure push in the core, deeming us having "enough" units. Was I 
? I never said I was a good warmonger did I

Turn 0 170 AD
MM cities, change a few tiles here and there, mostly to avoid overflow when shield/food boxes are filled.
Check diplomacy, Arabs and Incans are in the middle ages! Byzanines are one tech away, and they are scientific. Let's hope they don't get Feudalism as their free tech.
Wonder situation: everybody is building the GL, when did they start? Byzanines, Arabs and Incan are also building the Great Wall (others are too, but they are not close to the Feudalism tech).
Tech situation: 2 turns to Feud at +23gpt, I could increase science to get it in 1, but in this case, we actually do not want to research it too early, since that will make it cheaper for the AI's to research it too.
Military:
We appear to have numerical advantage near Akwesasne, I want to try to push forward there.
We have 3 swords around Centralia. I guess will make a bigger stack of swords before we attack, because that city is on a hill.
Near Faro, we're using elite swords to guard the high ground. If we could hold it, it would do well for our kill ratio.
nothing else to do, press enter.
IBT: more Iros swords move up near Akwesasne, so much for our numerical advantage.
* * *
Turn 1 190 AD
a few cities complete their items. Those that lack barracks build cat. Those that were building swords start more swords, except for Largo, which starts a spear.
I retreat the force near Akwesasne, intending to use the cat and plain terran near it for a kill zone, other forcse converge on Centralia. A few troops auto moved. I stop them before they go any further.
And Big, why did you chop the forrest near Emerita again! Now that city is near max size with no shield tile to use.
IBT: Iros move towards Fargo, come on folks, Akwesasne is defended by only a sword, go get it, take the bait.
Incan built the GW, other civ cascade to the GL.
* * *
Turn 2 210 AD
Feudalism comes in. I start a lone scienist effort on Engineering. When Emerita grows to size 12, the scientist will move there.
In Braga and Sagres, I vetoed the military build for an Aqueduct, as both cities are painfully stuck as size 6.
Emerita switches to Sun Tzu, due in 25, though hopfully sooner once I mine over some the irrigations.
IBT: Iros troops move back towards Akwesasne. A reg archer leaves Centralia, where is he going?
* * *
Turn 3 230 AD
More MDIs are build and upgraded. no battles. quiet turn.
* * *
Turn 4 250 AD
Finally, Iros troops advance within range of our cats. The battle is joined.
9 of our cats hit out of 11 tries. All Iros exposed units are injured. A sword attack out of Faro, killing a sword. The city should be safe now. Then our new MDIs attack, killing 3 Iros sword without a scratch. The last Iros sword in left in the field to avoid counter attack. Pike from Largos leaves cities temporarily to cover exposed troops in the field.
Battle of Centralia: Elite sword leading the way, vet sword mopping up. The only 2 defenders are toast, the city is ours
.
Leiria is somehow just 2 shields short of the next cat, I must have missed the MM somehow. No matter, I'll just swap to granary, due in 7 with growth in 8. (you can see the builder in me creeping in...)
Emerita has grown to pop 12... and is happy! Well, I guess Incense Coast keeps the scientist.
* * *
Turn 5 260 AD
Concentrate forces in Faro, getting ready for a Akwesasne expedition.
Cats fire and hit a few more Iro swords. No attacks though, for fear of counter attack.
The Centralia task force leaves the city, advancing northward. It is lead by an Elite sword and covered by a pikeman.
Build an embassy with the Byzantines. They are in a golden age
. 16spt, MoM and GL, 50% science.
IBT: The Iros appear to be going after Centralia. They send a sword and an archer in that direction. A fresh stack of 4 Iros swords appear from the north.
* * *
Turn 6 270 AD
we bombard the sword and archer stack down, and 2 swords took care of them.
Byzantines are in the Middle ages, they pulled Engineering as their free tech. I think Sun Tzu is safe
.

Turn 7 280 AD
More troop gather near the front.
Roughly half of our economy is paying for the army, so I...
Lissabon starts a marketplace.
Oporto reaches size 10 and starts a temple.
Evora reaches size 5 and starts an aquaduct.
I leave only 4 cities on military, and two of them are border towns squeezing our a cat once every forever
* * *
Turn 8 290 AD
Task force Allegheny is formed, consists of 2 pikes and 5 MDI. They move out.
Near Faro, concentrated cat fire took 5 Iros swordsmen down to yellow and red. 4 of them are killed by our swords and MDI, with no loss on our side.
IBT: Byzantine demand Republic. War!
Oops, AI will attack vet Pike with swords, we lose a pike in the Allegheny task force.
* * *
Turn 9 300 AD
Retreat! The Allegheny taskforce will arrive at its destination via the mountain route.
Here is our territory:
The front:
The Allegheny taskforce is in Faro. I'd suggest travelling along the mountain ranges N->NW->W, exposing the force for only 1 turn before attacking Allegheny.
The Centralia taskforce still has some units with movement points left, though they are fortified. I would hold off the attack for this turn. Next turn, if they go near Faro, then we will have cat support. If they go near Centralia, we will be able to attack at the same odds.

How far do we want to go with this round with the Iroquois? Do we want Allegheny and sue for peace, hoping to get a city or two + gold, or do we want to continue? Both work fine for me. All I want is in the end for the Iroquois to be

Well, were at war w/ four civs and need to deal w/ the Iroquois in the short term. Need to avoid getting England or the Mongols on our butt.

Big, I think JB has played only 3 turns so far. He will most likely update his post after completing the turns...
... and these two posts of our's will most likely look silly after JB completes his post
