Good turns SolarKnight! I think Egypt is growing a little to fast, we gotta stun it's growth. We stop the expanding just for a sec. We attack memphis and helli at the same time. It Looks like we got the whole continent to ourselves. So the quicker we take Egypt done the faster we can get back to expanding ALL the continent. Just my opinion, what does everyone else think?

A picture, please !!! 
It would be better to upload saves and pics, instead of attaching them to posts. You should be in 1000BC now, but it's not a big deal.
I'm not commenting these days : I want to see how you guys are doing, and then get my gun and... j/k...
So, don't you feel better with more cities now ? If you had more emphasized on expansion in the beginning, you could have beaten Egypt to the gems... easily... I'm not hearing of science too much ; where are you in that field ? Don't forget to check the diplomacy screen from time to time (in Deity I check it every turn).
Good luck ! I'll be back soon with more advice and criticism.

Looks like we're in fairly decent shape. Certainly not dominating, but we're not in any danger either. Resistor, should you decide to attack Egypt, be sure you have enough troops. Don't just run one or two guys up there, even though we have Legions. My personal preference is to make a huge army of ten units, then proceed to take over the opposing civilization. We can't afford to mess up our next attack. We have other civilizations to conquer.:ripper:
We'll have them soon enough.Well, the early war was just a gamble that I took. It failed so I will be more carefull about war this time. Umm, I'm gonna make a gameplan and post it here, to get some feedback about it then I'll play. I am gonna go and open the save and analyze what our best decision should be. Hopefully, they wont have spearmen, yet.
Alright, I am analyzing the save so far. Here are some points that I want to have answered or just state-
-It looks like we have the whole damm continent almost to ourselves. I say almost because, well I'll get back to that point later.
-Ok, why haven't we explored the land behind the pathetic Egyptians? There is probably so much left to explore.
-Why does Cumae and Veii overlap so much?
-The Egyptians have Spearmen.
-Alright, let's check the military status.
-5 warriors
-1 Archer
-3 Legionary
-3 Spearmen
We'll talk about military strategy a little bit later.
-Military Positions
-1 Legionary is next to Antium. 1 Spearmen is protecting Antium.
-1 spearman is garrison in Rome. 1 Archer is garrison in Rome. 1 warrior is chilling in Rome.
-1 Warrior is garrison in Cumae. 1 spearmen is garrison in Cumae.
-1 Legionary garrison in Veii. 2 warriors chilling in Veii.
-1 warrior garrison in Neapolis.
-1 Legionary fortified near the enemy city of Heliopolis.
-There is a barbarian uprising near Antium.
Ok,back to the first point, I have discovered another rival civilization. Where you say? Well take a look at the following screenshot.
Alright, we need a battle plan. Look at stats above, please. I plan on upgrading none. That's right, I can't updrade any warriors cause we barely have money. I will make a 2 stacks of Legionary. One stack will have Legionary, Archer, Legionary and the other all 3 legionaries.
I will attack Memphis and Heliopolis simultaneously. Although, I don't think that I will be able to even attack during my short 10 turn reign.
Please, give feedback on ideas on my next decision. If you dont want me to take big risks then please make sure to give me your counterplan. I will do what is best for my group.

I think the attack is a bit hasty. you will face at least 2 spear by city so you need more than 2 legions to attack. You could wait for the city to grow in pop - culture so that you do not autoraze but grab it.
Do not forget GA is triggered by first legion win ...
Maybe you should also road the Elephant (Lux) so that you gain happy citizens.
Maybe you should build a road towards Egypt so that you next units travel faster ...

Barbarian uprising?! Are you sure you don't mean just barbarians? Barbarian uprisings mean stack of barbs, and it also means two civs are in the middle ages- and I pray that's not the case.

On the Military Advisor screen it said barbarian uprising near antium. Thats what I remember it said. I'm still not playing till I get more feedback, so I'll wait.

Cunae was founded on that spot so we could get the iron in our territory.
I would suggest waiting till we have more than 5 legions before we move on egypt, just in case the RNG decides it doesnt like us.
I think a more realistic number would be 8 - 10, with more being produced along the way.
that way, we will have better chances of winning battles, have defensive units for our cities, as legions are good on defence also and be better equipped should egypt have any king of counter attack.
just my two pence worth (im english!)
By the way, anyone looked at the f10 screen or are we waiting till we meet other civs to know who else we are up against.

Let's wait for the 8-10 legions. By then we may be close to Monarchy, and we may reap a better golden age. In the meantime, can we found anymore cities? And I have not looked at F10.
