Back Again
im right here. went on a sudden vacation and havent been able to get on the forums. GREAT PROGRESS. unless there is some serious sabatoge, i dont think we can lose. i need to start and finish GOTM 21 in 4 days, so might as well keep the same rotation.
Hello, back from holidays now, so will have more regular access to a PC again 
Think the disk I used to download the save was corrupted, thrown it away now, so hopefully shouldn't be a problem.
Should I be playing now, or is it BoG's turn?

Hey guys.
Im back and my comp is fixed. It was a bad motherboard so they ended up replacing the computer. I havent really looked over whats been going on since I left but if the game is almost over then I may not join in unless you all want me too. I still need to load a bunch of stuff onto my computer, including Civ so it might be a day untill i can play anyways.

Played it last night and saved it onto a disk to upload, unfortunately left that at home. Will upload it tommorrow early afternoon-ish. Sorry for the delay.
Brief Summary:
Went pretty well - we have some new tech, lots more gpt, Sipahi and more workers. Unfortunately we got pipped to Newtons by 2 turns
... still will post a full report tommorrow.
Brief Summary:
Went pretty well - we have some new tech, lots more gpt, Sipahi and more workers. Unfortunately we got pipped to Newtons by 2 turns
... still will post a full report tommorrow.GENERAL RAMBLING:
Changed a couple of cities around - pushing for research/cash - bled workers of a couple of size 12/full food cities. Changed all corrupt cities to push 1 worker/10 turns. Mugla and Urfa trimmed to push workers every 2-3 turns.
There were a couple of auto moving workers, but they were going sensible places!
Started moving workers away from the corrupt cities towards the core.
Several AIs discovered Nationalism. Bought it from India for medicine and change. Got Wines, Incense and Free Artistry from the Iroqois - nixed luxuries. Sold Nationalism to Celts for Mil Trad, 94 gpt and 70 gold. Sold Medicine to Arabia for 1330 gold. Used the Extra cash to push towards Sanitation - it was already started or I'd have headed for Steam power - hopefully one of the AI's will get that for trade... Iro, Rome and Celts are fairly broke. Arabs and India are flush.
Upgraded some knights to Sipahi. Not sure what we should do with them yet, but can't hurt to have them around
A 110 Gpt/Lux deal with India finished, which was nice Sold Medicine to Celts and Romans for 80ish more gpt. Got Furs from Iroqois for Gems/Chump change. Spices from India for Saltpeter/Ivory.
India/Celts + Rome/Celts made peace.
We got pipped to Newtons by the Arabs with 2 turns left to go
There were no wonders left and no tech for sale. Sanitation came in the same turn - so we got a hideously expensive hospital instead - would have triggered our golden age as well.
Thebes rioted :weed: - missed that entirely - got too big.
NOTES AND STUFF:
As I leave it, we have more unis, banks, etc and 15 more workers. We have a choice of tech - no turns invested yet - Steam or Communism - we could get either in 8 at +50gpt or go back and get Economics in 4 at +50.... AI must be close to researching Steam, so I'd be inclined to push towards Economics - we could do with another wonder, the Pyramids must be feeling lonely Left it set to Economics, but feel free to change it.
There are some cities building hospitals - was heading for them if size 12 with bank+uni. Will need happiness improvements in them if they want to get much bigger. Partial rushing some hospitals and merging (egyptian) workers into them could be useful, as long as we keep squeezing out our own workers.
The other burning question is whether we want to use our Sipahi to trigger our golden age now - it could be a real killer. We could use our ROP with Rome to attack the Arabs - we could buy Rome into an alliance, which should keep the war at arms length. Which would be good - as our defensive forces are not particularly impressive. Reckon we wouldn't want to capture any Arab cities as they'd be difficult/costly to hold and would completely corrupt.

Looking around:
Our military weak v Rome and Arabia. We will have to wait until we have some artillery and have settlers to replace arabian cities. I decide to sell sanitation to arabia for 123GPT+128g.
4 turns to economics
Fustat starts courthouse
Mugla switched to aqueduct
Pithom switched to courthouse
Bingo to aqueduct
Riza to courthouse
Bursa to hospital
Urfa to temple
Celts start smiths
770AD-1 Istanbul hospital-->coloseum Konya library-->university
buy economics from celts for 384+ivory.. Smiths in 20 in Istanbul..steam in 7 at +98GPT
Arabs start smiths
780AD-2 Adana University-->hosiptal Salonika university-->hospital Bukhara worker-->barracks
steam from Hiawatha for Economics+Sanitation+464g keeping everybody poor, take Ghandi's 40g+9GPT for Economics Electricity in 7 @ +35GPT. 2 coal but one near Iznik not connected delaying Iron Works Message. Switch to palace to hold shields until road built.
790AD-3 Get Iron work message w/o coal connected so it is started in Iznik. Byblos temple-->harbor Lisht worker-->courthouse Bolu worker-->courthouse Take 2 Roman workers+14g for Economics Workers roading where they stand and then back to core
800AD-4 Bursa hospital-->cathedral Zonguldak university-->bank Avaris worker-->harbor
810AD-5 Thebes riots Memphis university-->hospital change sinop to market form library, it needs the lux multiplyer.
820AD-6 Pi-Ramesses market-->Barracks no one can pay fro our extra lux now. Best price is about 250g from the celts for one. Changed preferences to always renegotiate deals.
830AD-7 Celts get gems for 11GPT+2g Uskudar bank-->hospital Cancel ROP with Rome. I want to attack them next. Rush market in Thebes for about 250g.
840AD-8 Thebes start Temple. last turn for electricity @ +365
850AD-9 Izmut hospital-->couthouse El-Amarma flips to us! There is no roman citizens in the town. Unfortunatly their army had already left to head home. To continue to research for the rest of the world, take 176GPT+138 for Electricity.
Stopping here to even out the years. Iznit will complete IW in 4. Rush Hospital next then start prebuild for ToE with Scientific due in 9 at +645. Smith's is due in 10 and it needs to complete before ToE arrives. No one has industrialization or Communism for factories or Sufferage. I did not look at our military other than see it is WEAK. Upgrade all you want and keep a close eye on where the Roman SoD is marching.
