go go go! This reads very good, if now the RNG isn't too bad..... we will wrap this up a lot faster than I expected. Again: good work on Catharge!

OK, Japan is the next strongest civ so I'm not going to let them off the hook (besides the Iroquois are at war with them and that seems like a good arrangement to me). I renew peace treaties (renewing peace does not break ROP's)with most of the civs to the west but leave Arabia, China and the 3 that are on the current hit list as they are. This raises our cash to 475 gold and we are now making 200 GPT. 
I reviewed the Edo temple and now realize that that culture will not get that iron back into our zone of control, so rush settler in Konigsberg. I also rush knights at Ulundi and Bapedi.
230AD Relocation to the Japanese front.
250AD Add three workers to Berlin. Japanese and Iroquois sigh peace treaty. Japanese attack my elite warrior and the stand produces a Great Hero Cetshwayo who rallies an army of knights to lead the charge against the Japanese.
260AD Osaka falls to our knights, we lose 1 knight taking out the 3 pikemen.
270AD Relocation still in progress. Tuglea founded and takes iron from Babs.
280AD MI loses to archer. Elite knight wins in forest outlands and Mpande surfaces as another Zulu General of the field. Our forces are massing and we should soon strike at Kyoto.
290AD Yawn more consolidation to the Japanese front.
300AD Zwelithini - the great leaders are surfacing, the Zulu must like war. There are still no wonders to build so I think I'll make an MI army with this one. Umtata founded over on the roman front.
310AD Osaka goes into disorder in sympathy for the mother country(Of course most of our military that had been stationed there have gone to wage war on Kyoto). The battle for Kyoto was extremely bloody. Our 2 armies of knights suffered 15 damage points but we now control the Great Wall which helps some of those outposts that we have.
320AD Leaving a little more than 1500 gold and 209 GPT coming in.
Armies need rest in Kyoto and I have the army of MI on it's way over to Nara which should not have alot of defense but there are some other units in the area to reinforce that strike.

Wow...we've been having *amazing* luck with leaders this game...what's that, 6 we've had so far, into the early Middle Ages?
I've played many a game where even though I'm a warmonger, I don't start popping leaders til MA & their 3-attack blitz capability.
But seriously, guys. We're doing great. This is what I call "demolishing Emperor". It's 320AD and we've got our iron bootheel against the throat of most of the world. We can pretty much pick and choose who's next, and after consolodating our eastern front (by chewing up & spitting out Iroquois, Spain, Japan), just gradually sweep westward until we trigger domination
There's something to be said for games that end in the Middle Ages. My best PtW score is from RBP1 where we achieved domination in 1100AD. Let's see if we can beat these AI's up before 1000AD! I've never had a victory in the three-digit AD years...

I've had 2 games in the last week where I got 3 GL in a very short span of time. Usually I lag behind on that front, 2003 is shaping up well.
Not too sure how quick we can forge across the continent but one thing is for sure, the tech pace is down to a crawl and many of these AI are still sitting in Ancient Times and paying GPT to wait in line (like at the movies) to be our next victim.

my ten turns:
several ROPs prolonged, NOT with possible targets or if civ doesn't offer any money. Fewer treaties = fewer worries when attacking.
all civs catch up in tech (trading for nothign mostly). Many start Leos.
Trade a bit to give us some cash for WM (Japan changes make money) and get us Invention. Get it cheap (WM+70 Gold+Theology) from Persia. Weird, he's one of the angry ones, but asks less money
Japan is no more, I accidently (honestly) took Nara which had only 1 defender. i had planned to leave them with that town to extort Nagoya from them, as that island is small enough for a shore-blockade by the AI. Rushed a Galley and landed troops (luckily, no blockade) to take Nagoya. Tokyo has no resistors when we take it
Stack troops for next war: Rome has ROP with us so I use it to mass troops near Rome (1 Army 16 knights) for attack on Mongols, then suggest: swing east and take Babylon (2nd Army is on mountain near Ur to cover that), then the Celts, then China. Leave the Persian town alone until later.
Suggestion: during that time, do NOT resupply the front too much, rather stack troops near Spain / Iroquesia. Then, upgrade (Cav should be close by then), then take them. That way we can avoid extending us west before we have 3-move troops.
