What do you know; I suddenly have time (unexpectedly). Playing now.
IHT: MM cities a bit to speed up Important projects.
I like all buildqueues, except for jags.
Changed Teayo to spear and Island city of Tamuin from temple to harbor.
Swords are still good enough; we don't need to upgrade horses to knights yet.
Perhaps we have a shot at Leo's, which lowers upgrade cost.
The plan: in 3 turns our deals with Rome end.
I am going to seize their 3 cities on our continent, using only swords.
In order to do so I trade luxes or gpt to America and India, to make it less attractive for them to join in.
We still have deals with them, so I'll sign new deals when they run out.
Move 20 swords, 1 MDI and 3 horseman into 1 big SoD.
IBT. Greek city of Delphi finishes Sun Tzu.
Teoti worker -> harbor

[1]460AD. Switch Teno to Sistine's.
We have no hope of getting it, but else we'll waste a lot of shields.
The Otto's have a monopoly on Invention (Leo's) and some civs have education (no wonder).
I'll try to snatch Leo's if Sistine's is build soon.
The Otto's want nearly all our treasury and gpt for it; but it is a Wonder-grabbing safety hatch.
Unite some smaller SoD to 1 big one.
IBT: Americans, Ottoman's, French start Sistine's, Otto's also start Leo's
[2]470AD. Advance our Sod further north.

I don't sign the deal yet.
We don't need the lux yet for happyness, and there are 4 sources in our Hemisphere.
2 in Rome, but they are trading it to America and 2 in India.
They can't trade with the other Hemisphere yet.
I'll trade when we need to. Otto's still have monopoly on Invention.
IBT: We lost our (Roman) supply of Spices. And Rop.
I must be sleeping; our cities will riot now (I of course don't resign the deal).
Teno riots ... scroll ahead
[4]490AD. America has Invention + Education now.
In fact Everybody has Invention (besides us).
Rome is the only one (besides us) who lacks Education, but do not know Theology and Chivalry yet.
They have no Iron. Perhaps I can make up my
moves from earlier. Dial up Rome:
Hello Julius; how are you my buddy, my friend ? ... Ah you are well.
That is nice to hear. How are the wife and kids ? ...
Cleo has decided to stay on your side instead of building a nation ? How convenient for you.
Ah, little Brutus got an A for knife, dagger and swordsmanship and a F for behaviour, loyalty and reliability ?
Perhaps if you give him a job, for instance as Senator, that will make him more responsible. ...
Don't mention it, some free advice from a friend.
I see you always look puzzled when the world talks of Gods or knights. ...
No, not nights; Knights. ... You know what ? You can have it. ... No nothing really ....
Well, if you insist; I hear those talks about 'Inventing' stuff and my youngest son Monty II has a really creative mind.
Perhaps if you tell me what Invention is I can give him a great Birthday-gift ... Marvellous !!
Oh, and I would like some wrapping paper as well; perhaps you can giftwrap Invention in your, err, let's say World Map ?? ...
you will ? Thanks buddy. No I have to leave; bye !!

I have never liked you and I've always told you that this world wasn't big enough for the both of us.
I hope for you your starships will reach Alpha Centauri before I find your last man, woman or child. DIE !!!
Declared war on Rome. Sign an Indian-Aztec MA Versus Rome.
We pay him Ivory + 19gpt, and get his Education.
(If he breaks; we still have Education and Gandhi won't have gpt or Ivory).
America is insulted by our proposition to MA (not that I would have signed it).
20 swords, 1 MDI and 3 horsemen move next to Roman Hispalis. Unfortunately it's only size 1.
IBT: I forgot to switch Teno off off Sistine's. Fortunately in the IBT it switched itself to Leo's.
Our Palace expands; our citizens must love these moves.
Build some towers. Americans, Zulu and Ottoman's start Leo.
[6]510AD. Battle for Hispalis.
4/4 sword <-> 3/3 spear. Sword wins 2/4.

Zalco pike -> aqua
[9]Horse out of Tula moves and attacks pillaging spear.
4/4 horse <-> 3/3 spear. Spear wins 2/3.
4/4 horse <-> 2/3 spear. Horse wins 3/4.

A new Roman galley is moving south; probably dropping of units for a counterattack. Be aware of that.
Move the settler 1 more tile north. An Ideal Canal-city; allowing us to sail through land.
Let Ravenna build and rush 1 or 2 settlers; There is some room to grab; including the autorazed Hispalis.
I did not spend much cash. Leo comes in no more than 12 and I think we'll get it.
Wait with upgrading swords to MDI and horses to knights till we have Leo's.
There is no real urgency to upgrade now; 20 swords will do the job.
Sorry about my moves; I've hardly played this badly in a SG, but it seems we are strong enough to survive them.

Two 10spt towns finish knights, start another.
Switch Poxyx from temple to Courthouse and pay 208 gold to rush it, there's too much gold from gem mines going into the wrong pockets, then start harbor so the town will grow faster.

There is a Roman spear/settler pair heading for the rubble at Hispalis. The spear defeats our vet sword fortified in the rubble.

Settler starts SE from Ravenna with sword escort.
Pay 116g to rush temple in Panama City to forestall Indian settlement at site of Hispalis
Abe, Alex, Mahatma, and Joan have learned how to read the heavens. Osman hasn't but he does have gunpowder, so if I can,buy Astronomy from Gandhi can sell it to Osman for Gunpowder.
Gandhi wants 850g and a map for GP, so here goes.
I should have checked the pricing, Osman shows me the door with a derisory offer of his WM and 1g for Astronomy. (I don't understand, this deal should have worked)

Abe, Alex and Joan are now sailing with clocks as well as astrolabes (Navigation). There should be a multiple tech deal here if we can work it right, as the other players all lack a crucial tech.

It may be time to hit on Mahatma and kick off our GA with a Jag attack on his wounded sword/settler pair. Or we could move on the American towns as we have a narrow border with them (both good and bad as they can concentrate their forces rather than disperse them across a wider front.
Abe, Alex, Joan and Gandhi are setting a killiing tech pace with new knowledge coming in every 4 turns or so, and getting traded around immediately. The other guys are broke all the time so our brokering oportunities are not good. If we are going to keep up we need markets, libraries, banks, and universities (in that order, otherwise we won't be able to pay for it).

Conehead is an honorable man! Well done. I missed the opportunity of trade deals with Navigation. Your solution was honarable and elegant.
I guess Abe got a little tired of the blockade. Well it was coming sooner or later. I think he may have used up the available troops, though. Now if our workers would run a road through the rain forest at the isthmus, we could put some hurt on Mrs. Lincoln's little boy (the 800lb goruilla)

There are some fortified fresh troops near the isthmus. I think it is wise to upgrade them (Ravenna has barracks) and use them. It seems we are on the virge of being thrown back, so this is the time to use our reserves.
If we can repell the American assault, we can then go on the advance. Raxe Dalas and Capture Miami and New Orleans will give us the upper hand on America for a long time.
