Excellent push forward. 
to Slinger!
Let's hope Handy is available to play, and that we hear from him before tomorrow afternoon. I think he will be pleasantly surprised by how much progress has been made.
Couple of quick notes from the save:
Research can be turned down to 50%, Education is still due in 2 but we would make +65 gpt. Our "illustrious" opponents now have zero Iron and zero Saltpeter in their combined territories, so the blowout continues.
Lots of MM opportunities exist. Williamham is terribly corrupt, but has truckloads of food, so could be running some specialists. (Already size 7, so we get the extra unit support.)
One criticism. We have a couple of weird army combinations, in particular the knight in Men of Troy. The army moves as fast as its slowest member, so we only get two moves anyhow. If we wanted to put a 4th unit in the army, a much better choice would have been a Crusader. This army now cannot be transported to the other continent until Combustion. The second problem was that it was a veteran knight. We really don't need to add 4th units to any army right now, but when we do we should have enough elites lying around that those should be added. It is incredibly difficult to promote any unit in an army that is not on top, so we likely won't be able to get an 18th hit point in the Men of Troy through promotion. Since that is the only 4-member army, and the combination is so weird, I have to assume it was a mis-click.
Secondly, and I'll put it in bold:
To invade the other continent with caravels, we MUST have armies loaded with only two units!
@Handy - do NOT put another unit in the army garrisoning Dixon. We'll take two more knights on a separate caravel, and form a 4-member army when we land. Also, be so kind as to score us two more leaders, so we can invade with three armies at once.

do you get a popup on science leaders?
I miss clicked & put a knight on the gems killing field. I meant to leave that tile open, sorry.
We won't be able to move those until transports and I suspect the game will be over before then. (which is why I keep mentioning it).
I couldn't think of anything useful to do with the leader on my turns. Didn't want to waste him since C3C won't allow military leaders to rush Great Wonders.
Oil Springs is in the cross-hairs. [28-1]
