International Relations
We are at

We have an MA with Hammurabi of Babylon vs. Egypt.
We have an MA with Lincoln of America vs. Egypt.
We have an MA with Abu Bakr of Arabia vs. Egypt.
Wonder Races
Mid Term Strategy
Eliminate Egypt.
Eliminate Mongols.
Then Vikings.
And Arabs (with MAs)
Short Term Strategy
Grab them by nose and kick in the pants.
Cost to rush the 4 factories(Niagara Falls (304), Salzburg (928), St. Regis (360) and Karakorum (920)), roughly about 2400 gold, so St. Regis and Niagara Falls could be rushed easily, the other two, well, we'll see.
It will the 3 transports W of Salamanca 3 turns to be in position for all 18 units to land one turn.
Clean up pollution.
Muscat Island has 4 tiles.
Aden Island has 2 tiles. Both are Arab cities.
After about an hour of all this getting reaquainted with the game, Hit Enter.

0 (Preflight) 1450 AD
[IBT]
We lost our supply of Coal, with America. We can trade Rubber for Coal, but I'll wait just a bitm
Game units fly around the screen.
Scandanavia (1 city) and Arabia (15 cities) sign an MA on Egypt.
Scandanavia Dow Egypt.
Mongols want to talk. We don't; go away.
Berlin vPanzer -> vPanzer in 2.
Hamburg airport -> vJetFighter in 3.
Konigsberg vPanzer -> vPanzer in 3.
Frankfurt vPanzer -> vPanzer in 2.
Munich vPanzer -> vPanzer in 3.
Hannover airport -> vBomber in 3.
Centralia vPanzer -> vPanzer in 3.
We lost our supply of Horses (but we still have 2 connected to Berlin on our own).
1 1455 AD
Destroyers destroy and Barbarossa II attacks twice.
Good News
Better News
Stalag Luft III is built.
Check Diplomacy and we are at war with Scandanavia. Too bad.
Barbarossa II parks outside Birka and eyes the vSpear with great fear. It may kill a Tank, but not a Panzer Army.
eCav kills a Beserk.
Build an airfield next to Memphis (pesky Babylonians block our one rail!)
Get units ready to airlift.
Send across 3 Panzers and a Guerilla.
Rebase Bombers to Canaris, aiming for Thebes next turn.
We don't have any settlers heading overseas anytime soon. Change
Abydos from Granary to Settler, due in 27 and rush for 108 gold. We will get an Egyptian settler, true, but it will claim the Coal near Thebes. This will also drop Abdydos from size 5 to 3, reducing its flip chance.
Clean up one pollution near Centralia (no new rails this turn).
[IBT]
Memphis starves.
Grand River pollutes.
Allegheny rBomber -> rBomber in 3.
Heidelburg vTransport -> vTransport in 3.
Olso harbor -> worker in 10.
Abydos settler -> granary in 30.
New Konigsberg harbor -> barracks in 20.
2 1460 AD
Battle of Thebes (10), Captial of Egypt
Bombing Thebes reveals 3 vRifles, 1 vGuerilla and 1 rRifle. We knock off one popultaion and destroy the Coal Plant.

Horsa I (16/17) kills another rRifle.
Barbarossa I (14/17) kills a vRifle 3/4.
Barbarossa I (12/17) kills another vRifle 3/4.
Horsa I (12/17) swats down a 2/4 vRifle.
We send a 3/5 ePanzer to destroy a 2/4 Guerila. It does, but does not promote.
Good News
We keep Thebes and gain 6 Artillery and 3 slaves. We start training a slave while we wait for the resistors to die.
We build a Coal Colony, so we are back in the Railroad business.
Battle of Birka (2) Last Viking Capital
Our Destroyers redline both vSpears in Birka.
Barbarossa II (14/17) defies the odds and the specter of certain death at the hands of the barely alive Spearmen and attacks twice.
Good News
Better News
Babarossa II, still at 14/17, will load into the Transport next turn.
Still have an Infantry on AutoMOve but I can't find him.

Try to bomb the Saltpeter on the mountain near Heliopolis but find Arabs there and abort the attack.
We airlift 4 vInfantry to near Memphis.
Arab Invasion force stops outside Arab waters.
Clean up pollution.
[IBT]
Babylon wants to talk. They want to swap Free Artistry for Atomic Theory. Not now, go paint your wagon.
An Egyptian convoy of 4 sails leaves El-Amarna heading south along the coast; 3 Frigates and 1 Galleon.
Resistance in Thebes is over, so now the city doesn't produce anything. All of Thebes becomes taxmen/women/creatures.

Talk to Abu-Bakr,
tell him to eat worms and die.
Talk to Hammurabi,
he'll join the Arab war for Refining. Better than Rubber, his first request. We agree.
Abe wants some gold to kick the Arabs;
we offer 3gpt and he's ready to fight.
We land units next to the Arab cities of Anjar, Basra and Najran.
Battle of Zariqum (5) Arab
ePanzer decimates a redlined vRifle.
ePanzer guts a redlined vGuerilla.
Good News
And we claim one Arab Saltpeter. Our Bombers disconnect their only other Saltpeter.
We also disconnect their Gems.
Battle of Byblos (11) Arab
ePanzer fillets a wounded vGuerilla.
ePanzer castrates a redlined vCavalry.
Good News
We raze the city, since we can't use it to get to Khurasan further down the coast.
