Fascism is weird...but lets try it I guess, I have never tried Fascism.

Own, the save name really confused me. For some reason it said Agamemnon of Mycenaeans. But it is the correct save.
Preturn. I increase the science slider and we get banking in 4 turns. I also see that we have not researched Feudalism yet and that will go after I research Banking. I see little point in us getting Chivalry so we can ignore it and go straight for Military traditiion. I also changed Berlin to Heroic Epic since it is more useful to us.
IBT. Just some military movement.
Turn 1. Just some workers improving the landscape, not much.
IBT. same as before.
Turn 2. Ditto
IBT. Ditto.
Turn 3. Berlin's culture grows and we extend our palace.
I do some MM and I managed to greater production. I have managed to increase production in three cities as a result. Also I am now trying to get as much food in areas I can and then we can go to high shield squares such as hills with mines and vastly improve our production capacities.
IBT. Ditto
Turn 4. We resarch Banking. Now Feudalism.
IBT. Ditto.
Turn 5. More worker movements.
IBT. Ditto.
Turn 6. Leipzip builds a Cathedral. Now is building a bank.
IBT. Ditto
Turn 7. Konigsberg builds a Catherdral. Bank is now in progress.
IBT. Ditto.
Turn 8. We get Feudalism and we are now researching invention. I also upgrade our Swords and now we have MIs.
IBT. Ditto.
Turn 9. Hamburg builds a Cathedral and is now building a bank. More improving of the land.
IBT. Ditto.
Turn 10. Berlin builds Heroic Epic and is now building a bank. Our deal with China is now over so I start a new one since we will lose our Silks and thus some cities will go into anarchy.
I also sell Theology for this to the Chinese.
The Save.

Jeez, get Berlin back on Cop's ASAP!!! HE means nothing at all to us right now, but Cops give us a huge payoff. And we can let the AI research the bottom end of the tech tree for us. We may not even build any cavs this game, or not many anyways. Economics and Music Theory are for us. And panzers, of course. 
Dunno about fascism. I've never played it, but I suppose it would fit in well with the theme of this game. Shall we say we switch to Facism in 1500 when we kill trading? Could make this game interesting.

We need to get astronomy so we can meet more people. If we meet more, our world war will be a sucess, hopefully.

I believe that azzaman333 is up and tim is in the wings. If tim is back, that is. Otherwise it's ansar after azzaman.
EDIT: We have Astronomy already. All the more reason, just like C_D says, to get out there and make more "friends."

IBT: St. Petersburg has built LW.
1; 660 AD; I change Berlin from Bank or Cathedral (cant remember which) to Copernicus Observatory.
2-3; 670-680; Nothing.
4; 690AD; Invention --> Navigation. At this time i feel its more beneficial for us to go and find our other "friends".
5; 700AD; Leipzig- Bank > Wealth.
6; 710AD; Leipzig- Wealth > Medi Inf
7; 720AD; Konigsberg- Bank > Harbour
8; 730AD; Trade Engineering to China
Trade Engineering to England
Trade Engineering to America
9; 740AD; Leipzig- Medi Inf > Knight
Konigsberg- Harbor > Caravel
Frankfurt- JS Bach's Cathedral > Bank
There seems to be a small build up of American Troops near our borders. Due to them being furious with us, i feel its in our best interests to increase our military strength.
10; 750AD; England- (Ger)Iron <--> (Eng)Dyes Expires.
England- (Ger)Incense, 1 gpt <--> (Eng) Dyes signed.
Hamburg- Bank > Caravel
Unsure what to do with our workers, i moved them closer to the centre of our empire. As far as i can tell, they have completed all jobs nessecary. We get Navigation in 1 turn, at 50% slider. 2 turns @ 40%.
Save is attached.

azzaman, is that what you actually got for Engineering from Abe? Hilarious. I hope he does declare on us after that trade.
We could join our workers to Konigsberg at this point. The next time we'll really need workers will be for railing. And we may have plenty of slaves by that point.
We may also want to consider disbanding our army in Frankfurt after it finishes its bank to get 100 shields toward HE. Even better, wait until we get MT and disband him for the Military Academy. Making our own armies might be a nice pastime, and they also make nice prebuilds. Before you all yell at me, consider that a sword army is going to be losing its punch in a bit (they're okay but not great against muskets), we won't have another army until 1900 (unless we hand-build the MA until then), and we might as well start building our own army to fill with better stuff later.
Agree with research path. Do we have Music Theory yet? Happiness wonders are going to matter a lot for us once we stop trading in 1500AD.
As far as I know, taking skips and swaps into account, the roster is:
Own - stood off Abe with three swords and a back-scratcher
SimpleMonkey - played before that
conquer_dude - experienced a time warp before SM played
classical_hero - played
azzaman333 - played
TimBentley - UP! (if he's back)
Ansar the King - ON DECK (or up if Tim doesn't take it)
CoolioVonHoolio - MIA??

You can disband for shields in small wonders?
That's great!
Though the army does give us defense by scaring the dumb AI...
If Tim doesent pick it up by tomorrow afternoon, eastern US time, then I'll grab it.

As a 5CC nation, we get a discount on lux buying, since we are a small empire.

I was under the impression that you could disband for Small Wonders, just not for the big guys, just like how you can use Military Great Leaders to rush SW but not the big guys. But I have been wrong many times before.
We could definitely use lux. All five of our cities running WLTK days for centuries would be nice. And as Ansar pointed out, they won't cost us much.

Can any of our cities grow past size twelve?
SimpleMonkey

Not unless we get Shakespeare's Theater or we get Sanitation and start building hospitals. So none of our cities should be producing more than 24 food per turn.
