I settled 1W on the marble. By 1AD have 7 wonders in the capital (GW, SH, Mids, Oracle, MoM, GLib, ToA) while Hanging Gardens is due in 2 turns. The Dutch are no more, got 4 cities from them. Decided to get Construction from the Oracle just to make the acquisition process a bit more smooth. Just declared on the Persians and got a first city. 5 cities of Carthaginian origin so 10 in total, 48 pop.

1AD: 14 cities, 53 pop, 246 bpt@100%, 100 bpt sustainable (40%). All the "c-techs" and paper are in, oxford next turn.

Wonders: Oracle, GW and HG are done. Pyramids coming (I hope) in 2 turns.

Declared war on Hannibal this turn with 8 cats + 8 axe/sword/mace. Should take his 5 cities in ~20 turns.

On Hannibal? Civil Wars aren't very productive...

Everything in this game whent wrong so I gave up!

The start was good, no issues with barbs, early decided to go for HA war against wilhelm (perfect target, close by and good lands). The turn before I was to settle a nice horse/gem city the Korean settled a city 2 tiles away from the horses. I still settled with the horses in my inner culture radius, and since Korea didnt have any religions, I felt pretty safe to keep the horse without a monument. All went smoothly up to 4 cities, got Horseback riding, startet to build HA, everything seemed fine, Wilhelm, my target, even got Stonehenge! It all went to pieces when Korea decided to borderpop and stealing my only source of horses. I might have been able to get it back in a 15-20turns time (whipping monument), but the momentum was gonne and 15-20 turns is just too long time in such a crusial part of the game! Well, can't win every time I guess =)

You are well on your way to a wonderful game, BiC.

I have 8 wonders in the captial and GLH+colossus in a coastal city.
Guaranteed to get every wonder in the game I think, but I doubt I will have the time/energy to finish now that the hard work is done.
