Well it is clear as mud as to the team strategy, about split it seems. I am very fond of holding the choke and not going to extented oneself.
I like the idea of taking down those civ behind us and then moving out. we probably will not have any horses for some time though. Without an army we will be unable to defend new towns in the Babs land. Just not enough shields to deal with the new civs we will surely face then.
I have no issues with a false attack to give then a GA, but they may already have one. They could be fighting elsewhere, but I suspect not.
Anyway I personally do not believe we can get the GLB, without a huge piece of luck and an all out effort. As I mentioned, I doubt we can keep up the research and the war effort.
I think I will play 5 turns and keep at the GLB. Then post the save to see if how the team see it, rather than just cut the chord. I would vote to cut the chord now though and take an expensive sword now, rather than later.
Anyway at that point I can either play on with a better view the rest of the set or pass it on to someone that has a clear plan and wants to execute it.
The thing is that emperor civs will do a better job of cranking out units than we faced in the Monarch game. They will soon be making MDI's and in some numbers. We will have no units that can hit and return, so all will be exposed, unless covered.
Once a civ gets into the war effort and is making mostly troops, they will be flowing in at a steady pace.

(20-1). Lose two swords at Alexandria after a cat misfires and kill Bab bow and sword (22-3). 
He takes up residence in Thebes. Send two elite* swords to Thebes and position our Army of Memphis to cover our remaining settler who can build town #12. That will give us Army #3. And done.
Even our enemies haven’t come up with one. I hang my head in shame with only the consolation of 4 MGLs created.
