Can't grab it now, going to Christmas shop. I can get it later tonight, though. If someone can play it before then--- by all means. No objections here.

I can't. I got two twelve hour shifts Mon. and Tues. If no one has picked it up by Wednesday night, I'll play it. BTW, no one should play twice in a row.
Consider this a got it.
Inherited-370 BC: Looks like we're ready to tango!
Turn 1-350 BC: Egypt moves a spearman/settler pair onto Italian soil. Tempted to tell Cleo to scram, but I really don't want to. Veteran legion engages Egyptian pair outside of Antium, wins. Two free workers. Capture two more free workers outside of Heliolopis. Beat Ravenna to get a spear. I know I kicked off our golden age, but there's no point in letting Egypt expand any more. Egypt's defense was too lackluster to ignore.
Turn 2-330 BC: Lewis beats the stuffing out of a regular spearman (0-3) and elites. Go Lo. We lose a legion (4-2) Engage again, win. The city is ours. Octavius (guarding Pisae) knocks off a passing enemy spearman. Trade Polytheism and ten gold for Map-Making. Hannibal will join our crusade against the Egyptians for a steep price- world map and 200 gold. Pass.
Turn 3-310 BC: Our troops vacate Heliolopis, now renamed Gem City. The entire column prepares to take on Thebes.
Turn 4-290 BC: Battle of Memphis: decisive Roman victory, no losses. I decide to split the Memphis column. We need troops to go to Elephantine.
Turn 5-270: Cleo is SO stupid. She removes a spear from Thebes to escort a settler. Lutetia founded between Ravenna and Antium.
Turn 6-250 BC: Battle of Thebes, one loss.
Turn 7-230 BC: Whack the Theban settler pair. Six workers so far. Troops inbound for Elephantine now in Pisae.
Turn 8-210 BC: Nothing significant to report. Troops still moving toward Ele.
Turn 9-190 BC: *Yawn* Settler out of Rome done, heading for a potential city site accompanied by a spear.
Turn 10-170: Legions next to Pisae, next player can kill the Egyptians off. :-D I think they beat a spear, so you might want to wait until the borders expand if you want to keep the city. The legion outside of Carthage is just keeping an eye on ol' Hanni.

I must add my congrats to Smellincoffee for his well-played turns (on the whole, can't find out details now) !!! 
I think you have your ticket for Regent ! 
You now see it was worth waiting for a nice stack of legions, not 2 warriors !
And you could even push your offense forward, once Egypt is gone. Get scared, Hannibal !

what is the plan for the next player?
are we going to try to attack carthage as well or are we going to build up more units.
I know the Numidian Mercenary has better defence than the spearman, which will make them tougher than egypt but ive never tried legions against numids.

What are NMs, 2/3/1? The only time I've played Carthage is in C3C, so I don't know how they've been changed. (If they have). IIRC, Hannibal has about five to seven cities- in that range. I think two columns of soldiers should suffice to take maybe two cities a turn on attacking turns. That way we wouldn't have to keep running one stack around and delay our inevitable victory. There's a good stack of soldiers in Thebes, but the next player may want to do some investigating of Carthage's cities to see how many defenders per city.

I think that in the future you guys should try to build a city on the spots that have two red dots on them in the following picture. This will provide you with a canal through the continent thus cutting travel time for boats by many turns.
Smart thinking-- I would've never thought of that. When it comes to galleys taking over a dozen turns to go around a landmass, I just grin and bear it..

Good idea, we would also get the ivory near cumae in our borders.
We will have to begin exploring the seas sooner or later so the sooner we are prepared for it the better.

It appears that I am the only one available to play right now, so I will go next. And don't worry if you've been unavailable, because I know the feeling. I'll post when I'm done.
Geez, what are you waiting for, Christmas?!
Just kidding. I had to use that line...
