In the first attack we should at least half the english in size if you want to make peace a couple of times for techs. Since they only need 60% of the shields, and will experience little waste as their cities are close to each other they can still out produce us. Fortunatly they seem to lack resources and the ai can't fight.

IBT

IBT
Egypt attacks Aydin
1125BC
Worker completes road for iron
Izmit riots (sorry)
Change Aydin to warrior (we might get lucky and survive one more turn). Uskudar could be changed to a spear or archer as well.
We now have 19 vet warriors and 338 gold, making another 19 every turn.
Haven't continued this last turn, so team can decide what to do. I reccon we should updrage 5 swords now and send them south. We probably can't save Aydin any more but we can get to Antalya in 2 turns (when no upgrading).
I think we should make peace with Egypt asap, then take on English. Fortunatly Egypt was fighting NE of scouting warrior, so we should not get al their military. They're only sending warriors for now, so if we get some swords down fast we should be ok.
To make sure, most units can still move!

Looks like we're in a little trouble. We'll probably lose Aydin, but I think that we should resettle that location and keep several units there from now on (and maybe build walls). As for the English, we'll have to move straight for London (taking Hastings along the way) so that they don't have the Great Wall anymore. I'd rather raze London thatn keep it, though; unless we wipe out the English, it'll flip for sure, and they'll get the GW back. How many swords do we want for that?

As soon as we can get peace with Cleo, go for it at any price. Wonder what got in her knickers? Yes, resettle that ASAP if we lose it.
I agree with going straight for London and razing it. I don't even know if I would stop off for Hastings.
I would send at least 10 swords to London. Keep the rest at home for defense. Watch the highlands in the east. Lizzy will send her forces into those mountains.

Sorry, RL has been intervening. I can play it tomorrow. Now is probably a good time start with 10 turns a piece so I will play 10.
