YES! it's finally worked. Maybe it was due to my having other windows open at the same time.

Inherited turn: WHAT? 6 items queued up? In EACH city? Shift-Del changes this. Switch Corinth to settler, it is in a bad spot. Science to 90%, literature in 14 turns. Switch Thermopylae to settler. Hit enter.
1: Who had that hoplite on GOTO?
2: Move the hoplite a little.
3: Sparta builds settler, start it on Colossus. I move the hoplit closer to England. I notice Liz has Mysticism, but not writing. OK, whaddya want for Mysticism. WHAT? NOT POSSIBLE? I demand mysticism. She refuses. I declare war. Not to worry, hoplites in mountains will easily hold off anything up to Knights- and we could get a great leader...
4: Athens builds Hoplite. I mine a bit by Sparta.
5: Shuffled some forces closer to England. We will mainly ignore this war.
6:Thermo builds settler. Athens culture expands. I notice that the English have parked a warrior to the northwest of us.
7: Nothing happens
8: I founded Delphi up near a fish square.
9: Our warrior attacks a english warrior- WE GET A GREAT LEADER!!! What do we do with this Pyrrhus guy? Rush the GL? Rush the Pyramids? I decide for Pyramids, then we can make peace with the English.
10: Athens builds settler, starts the Pyramids.
11: Athens completes Pyramids, starts Hoplite.
12: I get Peace treaty and Mysticism from Lizzie. Thanks for the great leader, Elizabeth! I found the city of Fart Alot, or Pharsalos, on the north coast.
13: I sign a ROP with england to increase relations. Furious-> Annoyed.
14: I spot Incence to the far northwest.
15: We discover Literature, and start on Philosophy.
16: Corinth builds worker, we will need about 5 more. Thermopylae builds hoplite, starts settler.
Why oh WHY have we not made contact with anyone else? Oh, the English are building the Oracle.
17: Nothing happens, so I declare war on England again. Joking!
18: I found Knossos near a gold mountain.
19: I finish an extra hoplite in Athens, start a settler. Build a library after this.
20: A goody hut nets us 50 gold.
Notes to next leader: We will have a lot of fast growing cities with these very early pyramids. Watch out for unhappiness! I suggest play the Farmers Gambit- loads of expansion with little military.
The zip contains 2 savefiles- the one is from this SG. The other is from a game where I have some Future tech. Have fun with the extra one- anyone is free to download it.

Switched from Colossus to Great Library???? Pure weed. We expect to have a tech LEAD, a tech LEAD, a tech LEAD, a tech LEAD. Now repeat that to yourself. Tech LEAD. Colossus will give mroe income= faster research. GL will give- all the techs that we havent learnt. Oh, trying to get Free Artistry or Mil Tradition? Sorry, those come after education. Colossus expires a lot later. To Joshnaz- build the colossus! Then get NEWTONS and COPERNICUS in the same city, this city will now produce craploads of beakers.

Note to Exang. When Knossos grows, make it work the mountain. More commerce and an extra shield. When Athens has built temple, grow it and aim for Sun Tzu's. All these libraries are really helping out here.
Dotmap: We have a settler in little green. Aim for big green, it has incence. Big red, will lock borders as a fishing village, little red is a prospective site to stop england. Big purple will have good production once the jungle is cleared, one of the two small purples will be a filler city. Blue ring, we have spotted a third continent.

0: Erik III comes to power in Greece. He realizes that there is much to do. DONT save halfway through a turn. Save at the END of a turn, just before you hit enter. Also, we have like, 2, workers. I want to see 10 by the end of my reign.
1: 670 bc. I switch Athens to settler.
2: 650 bc. I switch GL to colossus. No shields wasted.
3: 630 bc. We discover Mapmaking, start on COde of Laws in 6. Sparta completes colossus. AThens builds settler, starts another.
4: 610 bc. Sparta builds worker, starts another. Thermopylae builds library, starts a settler.
5: 590 bc. Nothing happens.
6: 570 bc. nothing happens.
7: 550 bc. AThens builds settle,r starts another. Sparta builds worker, starts a galley.
8: 530 bc. Nothing happens.
9: 510 bc. COde of Laws discovered, start Republic. 14 turns.
10: 490 bc. I micromanage Corinth.
11: 470 bc. AThens builds Hoplite, starts a worker. I micro Corinth again. Mycenae builds hoplite, starts settler.
12: 450 bc. Delphi culture expands. Sparta builds galley. to the north, we spot some tundra.
13: AThens builds worker. It is official- the island contains us and the English. Babylon, Iro, Persia and Egypt are somewhere out there.
14: 410 bc. Terhmo builds settler, satrts worker. Corinth builds worker, orders up another. Knossos builds settler, starts worker. Hereakleia builds library, starts courthouse.
15: 390 bc. Ephesus founded near some Iron. Better us than the English, but the city will be USELESS. Our galley makes it across the ocean, CONTACT WITH PERSIA!
Swap territory maps, we get 7 gold. Sell code of laws for contact with egypt. swap territory maps with Cleo, we get 14 gold.
Sell wmap to both of them, we get contact with babs and iros.
trrade territory maps with them too, get some gold. Buy a wmap from babs for 120 gold.
Founded Thessalonica, started a Library. This is the FP spot.
16: 370 bc. Argos builds hoplite, Starts worker. Extorted Elizabeth for 45 gold.
17: 350 bc. Extort Egypt for 22 gold. Extort hiawatha for 6 gold.

19: 310 bc. Corinth builds worker. Remember, workers=military=easier to extort. Knossos builds worker, starts library. I have reached my goal of seeing 10 workers in our realm. Oh yes, we have passed 1 million people and are #1 in popualtion, literacy, life expectancy, land area and productivity.

Exanguination, are you there? Not skipped yet, but you should take the game soon...

my 10 turns:
0 - moved the science slider back a few to gain some gold
1 - Corinth falls into disorder, quickly suppressed
-Rhodes is founded, set to build library
2 - we discover the Republic! The people rejoice! We set our minds on Currency (7 turns)
3 - I am informed that Pharasalos cannot build its settler. Too bad... set it to library.
4 - Eretria is founded as a filler city to the west, set to build hoplite. The Iroquois declare war on the Babylonians!!!!
6 - Athens and Corinth fall into disorder! I raise the luxury tax - watch these two cities. They are both on the brink of disorder. Keep 'em happy!
7 - Athens finishes Temple, starts work on Barracks for pending military build-up.
The English complete the Oracle and begin GL. Iroquois start work on the Great Wall (they have Construction!!!). Cleopatra orders the Great Lighthouse.
I try to pry Construction from Hiawatha, but he demands too much.
9 - We discover Currency. Construction in 9.
10 - Troy founded as a good coastal city.
Notes:
Do NOT trade for Construction, the Iroquois want too much and the other civs have nothing to offer, so the trade would be wasted.
Keep Elizabeth isolated, and lets soon move in for the kill. The English look pretty weak, so lets just 'enlighten' them. Hence the military build-up. Build lots of horseman/swordsman/hoplites. It'll be well worth it!
Watch the happiness factor.
Good luck!
