Preturn- We look ok.
IT- zzz
T1 230
With our military average against Cathy and Russia on the verge of going Medieval, I decide a war is better now than later, as Cathy could well draw Feudalism.
We ask Russia to leave and they declare. We kill a spear and a sword.
IT- We lose our horses. Gandhi wants a lot of gold for them. I'd rather duke it out with swords than get ripped off.
T2 210
Not much to do.
IT- We kill two swords on defense. The ******** AI is attacking across the river.
T3 190
I move some troops.
IT- Russia shows up witha bunch of offensive units.
T4 170
Kill two Russian spears on our wines.
IT- Lose two swords. There are three Russian sword on our wines. We might lose them.
T5 150
Since Russia is full out attack us in the north, I figure our best chance is in the south against her poached cities. If we take both, we get more wines and a supply of horses.
IT- Carthage declares war on India.
Russian swords are going deeper into our territory, bypassing Iznik. They may be going for the capitol.
T6 130
Our mini SoD of two swords and two horses fails to capture Vladivostok. They have like 4-5 spears in a size one city!
IT- We suffer absolutely terrible RNG luck as Russia wins several battles attacking across the river into Iznik.
T7 110
The aftermath of the battle leaves one sword defending Iznik. Our cats hit twice on the troops outside though. We'll be lucky to hold the city. The good news is that only one enemy unit has a green health bar.
Two horses out of Istanbul take out one sword from the stack.
IT- Our wounded horses draw away the attention of the stack. We lost one. One Russian sword dies attacking Istanbul.
T8 90
We manage to take out a sword by Iznik. We try another attack on Vladivostok, but there is one spear left. We might get it next turn.
IT- Russia retreats to heal. We kill one attacking sword.
T9 70
We attack Vlad again. We win, but another blasted spear appears. This has been disasterous.
IT- a couple wounded archer come back for more. Cathy can't seem to make up her mind.
T10 50
I bring some reinforcements to Vlad. I'm going to take an extra turn as I NEED to take that city or I'll not be able to sleep.
IT- zzz
T11 30
There are three spears to be killed, by Vlad is now ours.
Summary
Cathy is willing to make straight up peace now. But, it seems the tide has just turned our way. I think we can hold off and get Smolensk before peace. This way we'll have our own horses too, a big plus.

Preflight check: Go thru cities and make 1 or 2 slight adjustments.
IBT: Swordsman near Iznik defends against 2 swordsman attacks and promotes; dingy lost at sea.
T1: 210AD Kill a Russian spear that landed near our wines @ Vlad.
T2: 230AD Records lost
IBT: Hannibal boots our Galley and it looks like we landed across the ocean![[party]](/images/smilies/partytime.gif "Party [party]")
T3: 250AD Looks like we met Germany. They are up Poly, Republic, Construction, and Lit and are into the MA. Can buy Republic for all our gold but hold off for now.
Load up for assault on Moscow.
IBT: Apparently, the green galley we met was the Aztecs as we now know the are building Suns and they finish the Glib
T4: 260AD Battle of Moscow: cats go 1 for 2; Army kills spear (8/14); army kills spear (8/14); sword kills spear (2/4); sword dies to spear (2/3); sword kills spear (4/4); sword kills spear and we take the city +25g + 3 workers
Trade: Aztecs: give them 348g for Poly; Carthage: give them Poly, 3gpt and 97g for Construction
We draw Engineering as our free tech! Very useful right now.
Kill a sword outside Moscow with a sword and promote (4/5)
Too late, need sleep, will finish tomorrow.

Ok, what can we due with our Engineering monopoly?
Aztecs up Lit, Republic, Monarchy, and Fued.
Germany is up Lit, Republic, Monarchy, Mono, and Fued
Carthage is only up Lit
Pimp boy (Ghandi with the pink hat) is up only Lit but has a good chunk of gold (501). However, me no like jumbos.
We have 7g in the bank and make 36gpt (8.1.1)
Ok, sell Germany Engineering and 8gpt, getting Mono and Monarchy
Sell Monarchy to India for Incense, Lit, and 501g
Fuedalism is very expensive as Aztecs want Eng, Mono, and 249g. I take it so we can get 2 researching Chivalry for us. Whoops, germany already has chivalry, but no horses.
Continue min run on Republic (14T)
Carthage has 131g but I dont sell them anything yet as Ill wait till they sign peace with India.
Upgrade 4 swords and a spear.
Kill Russian spear on our wines near Vlad (another landing)
IBT: Germans building KT
T5: 270AD Lose an elite sword redlining a 3/3 Russian sword outside of Moscow.
Learn from that mistake and redline a sword with 2 cats, then attack it with a 4/5 sword and get
Form another Army in Iznik. Load it with 1 MDI (2 others are out of reach ATM)
IBT: elite* sword defends against reg sword.
T6: 280AD Run both armys up to Yaroslavl
Move all but a spear and an archer out of Moscow.
Upgrade another Sword
Looks like the wandering galley has seen a light blue border but not sure who it is yet.
Switch Edrine to a market.
T7: 290AD Germany now up Theology and Chivalry. The new civ is Greece which seems to be getting a bit squeezed.
Assault on Yaroslavl: MDI army kills spear (12/12); sword army kills spear (11/14); MDI army kills spear and promotes (13/13); sword army kills spear (10/14), leaving a sword on top.
Near Iznik: cats go 0/2, MDI kills sword and promotes (4/5); horse dies to reg sword and promotes it (3/4);
Outside of Yekatsomething: cat goes 1/1; sword redlines but dies to spear.
T8: 300AD At Yaroslavl: Sword army kills single sword and we take the city + 3 slaves
Near Iznik: cats go 0/2 on ¾ sword; elite sword kills it (2/5); elite MDI kills a spear (3/5); move a pike to defend it.
Move MDI army & elite* sword to take St. Petes next turn.
Meet the celts, they are up Republic but down Engineering.
Workers around Moscow and Iznik finally get to work.
IBT: Russia declares on the Indians
T9: 310AD See a Russian sword leave St Petes to attack an Indian unit in the fog. Cat goes 0/1 @ St. Petes; MDI army kills 2 spears and we take the city + slaves + 15g
T10: 320AD Kill a sword outside of St. Petes
Theres a lot of Indian troops in our lands so be careful.
We can trade for Republic now and revolt or let the min sci run finish. Probably should at least wait for the war to end before revolting.
Mini SoD next to Rostov, ready to pounce next turn.
The Russian galley near Antalya has troops. Russians keep landing a spear or sword on our wines, and we keep killing it with the sword and horse. Pike in Vlad is meant to go to Smolensk.
Istanbul is set to 14spt but can be throttled back if growth is desired.
Bursas Library is a holder but we do need more culture over there.

bede, if you got the time and gozpel doesn't call it, i think you can pick this up tonight (carlos is still gone) please post a "got it" just before you do so both you and gozpel don't try to play at the same time 
edit: forget that, i just saw that bede had to skip his own game today. let's give gozpel another 24hrs then re-evaluate

The brat cracked my C3C disk and I have got Civ Complete (couldn't find the Conquest alone) which means a new install and I have to download the patch again. The outback server is too jumpy at weekends as always, I'm sure the guy is constantly drunk Fri-Sun.
So I won't be able to play anything until next week.

doh! ok, guess bede is up whenever he can take it.
Typically weekends are the best times for me to play, no family around. Now I have to do some real life stuff instead, like mowing the backyard or clean up bushes and trees. The fire season is coming closer and I'm way too lazy.
I'm such an idiot....CIV3 Complete wouldn't be very complete if it wasn't patched already. Thanks to Kaiser Berger for pointing that out!
I can take it after Bede if that's alright.
I know I'm a moron, but why do I have to prove it all the time ?
