Sounds like the army that Johnny Rico and I got was useful.

^^^in the acid games, acid assigned the teammates roles based on their experiences...it was something like: acid--whip/draft army and beg for money to avoid going broke, next person--go to war, next person--recover economy, etc.

I think that the cats spell doom for Alex particlarly with backup from maces.

Hannibal though on the other hand...
Okay, sorry about that. I was trying to in-game screenshot thing, thought I had it working, and then had to go and hunt for the folder. Anyway, here it is. Pics will be up soon.
Turn 0: Traded with Washington as the cahp needed some schoolin' and he took Machinery for Feudualism. I then upgraded our fortified Longbow. I also started marching into Greece.
Turn 1: Traded Washington Lit for some extra cvash to fund defecit research.
Turn 2: I arrive at Sparta.
Turn 3: Cultural defence destroyed. We matched elephants, and Alex kill one, but I killed one too. gave a Horse Archer or two the medic promotion.
Turn 4: At the price of a few cats and a HE, we get the city, winning at 35% odds!
Turn 5: I set my sights on Thebes, and leave the hill longbow to guard Sparta. I'm not expecting Ales to unturtle, but the better if he does.
Turn 6: I heal and wait outside the city of Thebes...
Turn 7: Engineeering comes in, and I still heal.
Turn 8: Alex attacks us with a cat, that has little effect.
Turn 9: Thebes captured after a rousing seige - and a few cata losses.
Turn 10: Noticing that Knossos has alot of cottages and...2 troops, our stack turn there at once...and the first Trebs are soon due off the the line.
I don't expect a counter attack. Six trebs are enough to take him completely.

Oh futurehermit where are you. You are making us as angry as the people over at ANGRY KOREA! 
PS. I remebered why we are on emperor today while playing a monarch game. Rome, Pangaea. It was a massacre. Domination in the 1200s and my highest score yet!

Ok, well, a fairly uneventful turnset, although it was almost disastrous...
I don't know if you will agree with all of my decisions, but I just made them as best I could
Inherited turn: MM Hamburg to work rice tile (yay!) and switch to longbow as we have many defenseless cities now
720AD: Sack knossos at the loss of 1 catapult. Decide to keep it because it will eventually have fish after we sack Hannibal's city. In the meantime it can work mature cottages. Sell lit to Washington for 280.
740AD: -
760AD: Whip courthouse and rax in Sparta as it just came out of revolt
780AD: Our gold is pillaged by a longbow and there is not much we can do about it unfortunately...
800AD: -
820AD: CS in; Hannibal demands...
Damn, people love Washington (who has switched to theology)
Rejected.
Napoleon has "enough on his hands" and...
I thought for sure he was going to attack our newly captured and undefended city...but he didn't! I didn't know that though so I whipped a chariot and HA in southern cities. Lightbulb paper planning on using next GS (soon) on Ed. Unfortunately...we get a GE!
840AD: Use warlord on medic 3 chariot. Always handy to have imo.
860AD: Not entirely sure what to do with GE. I decide to use him to rush Hagia Sophia in Berlin. With all the newly captured cities our workers will have a lot to do. Plus it's additional GE pts which are good despite the bad timing of this one. Not sure what else I could've done with him.
880AD: -
900AD: - (our army is on Athens' doorstep and cultural defenses are stripped down...)

Alex seems pretty dead. I think that we should finish him then go for Hannibal.

nice job guys.
i totally agree with what you did with the GE hermit. GE points are always good, i usually could use more GEs than I have.
I can't look at the save but if our economy supports it we should stay on the warpath and take out han and forge a close bond with washington.
I can't play until next tuesday, so have fun with the catapults...

I think we should stay on the warpath as well, although we do have to be concerned with rising war weariness...
We also have to be concerned with Napoleon...We REALLY should have gifted him a tech sooner. I held off on giving him one now because I thought for sure he was going to declare on us anyways. Gifting him a tech now won't stop him from declaring, so really we have to wait for him to declare on someone and then if it's not us, we can gift him a tech to improve relations (or after he has declared on us and we get peace).
Alex's remaining cities have enough defenders that we will need more units. The nice thing is now we can add some maces. I would hold off on attacking Hannibal until Nappy has made up his mind one way or another...

Does Alex actually have anything we want? I'm all for finishing him off but cabert has a good point. Is the Napster way above us on the power meter. I haven't downloaded and looked at a save.
Nice move with the Hagia. I think it is an excellent wonder.
I haven't played on emperor myself in a single player game. Is this par for the course for where we're at. On monarch level, I like to be finishing off my second opponent by this time when pursuing domination/conquest victories. Just curious is all, not critical of our play.
