Addenda - agree them being different wars. Also, people can have very different styles and get similar results. I once played a set of turns that for some reason was played by someone else (forget details). We had two very different approaches, but the end results were close to identical. It was very interesting.
In fact my only complaint as such is in black and red below. I only know about this problem because I have been burned badly myself. The part in red comes from a very frustrating personal game I played.
Note also that we got sufficient cash from Babylon that I did some upgrading of our troops - mostly defenders. I would like less bare cities. We haven't seen the Vikings to the best of my knowledge but they do exist. I would like to defend any city that has some improvements (for the corrupt ones, it isn't worth the resources to defend them). Losing a single corrupt city is meaningless.
I don't often play with a helper program, but for this one I really need it. Using Civ Assist 2 especially to find towns about to revolt (though I forgot to check one turn).
1768 AD: Continued.
The Babylonian war
I already have 2 armies next to Tell Wilaya. The Cavalry Army healed last time so it is able to kill the 3 Rifles before running low on HP. The Knight army kills the final Cavalry and the city falls. Again I keep the city as it gives access to the Babylonian core.
One nice thing about the Babylonians is that they have started railing. This means I have to do less railing myself. In turn this means no long line of Workers to defend. This is good - since we have hit the Maximum city count - making the line of defense is a much more difficult task than in most games.
Since Nippur is a rare distance 2 from Tell Wilaya, I use an MDI army to attack it first to save the longer range units for later cities. I can also use our (now 3) Artillery to bombard the defenders. We only do a point of damage to the defenders. I think I am going to use Lee's favorite trick of speeding Artillery builds with Treb/Cat disbands. We are way short. I will keep the cannon for now. It would have been nice to use Artillery to red-line the defenders, so I could use my Cavalry to take the city. Instead I use a knight army to attack. Killing 2 more defenders. Finally an elite cav kills a Cav defender to capture the city.
Ellipi looks like the next best target. The reason I choose it next is shown below. The red line seems to be the best line of defense. The yellow circles are current gaps I will want to deal with. Once I close those, and capture the two Babylonian cities, our line will be complete. At that point I can free up the defenders in cities behind the line and move them all to the front.
Ellipi is distance 3. A Cav and Knight army attack and kill 3 rifles. I try to kill a Cav with two Cavs, but lose both (first did 2 hp, the second did nothing) I fall back on our armies and use a somewhat injured Cav Army to take it out.
[Edit: I also take out Shurrapak in a very similar manner. Just forgot to mention it]
Rome:
I have an army left over. Rather than further attacks on Babylon, I attack Leutia and capture it.
For the Babylon front, I do the best I can to plug the holes in our line. In an ordinary game I would have built 3 more towns and made the line solid. The problem is that I didn't want to disband 3 existing towns, so this will have to do.
Note that you won't get flips on the first turn after capturing, so if one has plenty of units the best thing to do is to put as many units into a town as there are resistors. Essentially you get a free turn to quell resistance. After that Initial turn, I keep a minimal set of troops in a town to minimize loss on a flip. Fortunately, flips occur after AI movement, so you don't run the risk of a town flipping and the AI troops streaming into your lands. This keeps the flip chances to a minimum and low losses when there is a flip. I could also abandon and replace the towns, but I like the fact that the towns have prebuilt Aquaducts. This means they can freely grow to size 12 and not get stuck like replacement towns would.
In this game, it is hard to put extra units into towns to quell resistance, but I am doing the rest the best I can.
Arabia:
Arabia has 2 landings to deal with. We have 4 Armies stuck on Arabia which is a mistake, IMO. I think we could have invaded equally well if we had had 2 armies of size 4 and 2 armies of size 3.
I don't know who is putting a fourth unit in every Army. Fortunately, we are ahead in tech. If we were playing this at emporer level, it could well have been a mistake that could have cost us the game. In continents, AW you need to be very judicious about adding the fourth unit. Having to wait until transports to use armies on the other continent can be fatal A good rule of thumb is to not add the 4th Cavalry to a Cavalry Army until it is on the final continent. Use more obsolete units of size 4 for home defense. Keep Cav and some Knight armies at size 3. Again it isn't serious this game - it just delays us from attacking for about 20 turns, but it is important to remember for future games.
Celts:
We have an Infantry and Cavalry army up North - the Cav Army is still healing.
I also build some outposts. I like these to keep lands under surveiliance and we can't fill them. The range 3 from mountains is especially useful.
I did update a few more troops to Infantry. We are getting a lot of cash from Babylon and we need Infantry as they will attack and kill muskets and such.
This front line is a lot more complex than most games I play. Time to see if I missed anything. I hit enter.
IBT: A major oversight on my part: We get an attack in the north. There was a row of squares in the fog. Last turn Babylon happened had landed on the fogged square and and moved next to a town. I had forgotten about it. Fortunately it is one of the corrupt towns, so it is more of an embarrasment than a problem. It does show me a weakness I need to watch: No fogged coast anywhere - a landed Cavalry wouldn't have given me the 1 turn warning.
The main front line holds well though. In a few places I used obsolete units to pillage and such and that is what the Babylons go for.
1770 AD:
Babylon:
The game plan for this turn seems pretty straight forward. I want to try to capture the NE babylon cities. This will greatly shorten my front line. The red line in the picture below is what I want achieve.
Most Babylon cities are distance 4. That is less good as we have knight armies that couldn't be used. The best solution I can spot is to Abandon Nippur and build a town one square East of Nippur. That brings Nineveh to within 3.
We can then execute the attacks ->Sippar->Karana in the north, ->Nineveh->Babylon->Uruk, Zarquim in the middle, and ->Nineveh->Ashur in the south. All these attacks would be distance 3, except the attack Karana and Zarquim which are distance 2 and we can use our Artillery.
But first I want to take back Delft in the north. Looking at our borders there are several coastal squares I cannot see. I will be fixing this issue. I use an Artillery to red-line the defender and take it out with an Elite Cavalry (we destroy some boats). There is a Cavalry next to the city, so I bombard with Cannon and attack with an Elite Infantry
So:
Capture Sippar using Knight Armies. Karana is Bombarded and then Attacked with a Sword Army
I then put workers in Nippur so I can road it, a settler to its East, sell off Improvements, and Abandon.
We Build our new town, Assault Nineveh and capture it using two Cav Armies.
We again have a gap problem (enemy land between our towns), so we need to abandon the new town and build one SE.
Assault on Babylon costs us a near full health Knight Army but it is captured. The Babylonians lose their Capitol
We have some healing Armies so there are no more assaults. Once again I close all borders using units to block and bombardment.
We are moving in on the Celts towns. I am ignoring their units. Some additional units are dropped off. The makings of an Infantry and Cavalry armies of size 3.
IBT: We lose a Pikeman off in the mountains. We get landings in Arabia.
1772 AD: Things continue as planned. Zariqum is Bombarded by Artillery and then we use elites to kill the 1 hp defenders. We do get a leader who will become an army. We then capture Ashur, Akkad, and Mari who are all distance 3 away from our borders.
Babylon now how has Eridu and a bunch of Tundra towns. I will probably not report in much detail on the rest of the battles. Babylon is mostly mop up work of annoying-to-get-to Tundra towns.
To be Continued...
Some times that leaves a disorganized front. The flip side is that if the AI reacts aggressively to try and take advantage of the ragged front, it leaves them open to easy kills. Bottom line => our speed is the key right now. 
Having our own continent now. Terrific work.
