Here I go. I must say this game goes pretty fast.
Change Athens from Hoplite to Settler. We don't need that many Hoplites.Change lux tax to 0%. Change Corinth to Worker. Change Great Library to Oracle. I don'tlike how we're doing but I'll play now and comment later.
750BC: Move Warrior/Settler Combo; Move the other Settler; Road near Sparta.
730BC: Delphi: Worker -> Barracks. Pharsalos founded: Build Worker. Just notice that the other settler was on GoTo and did not move where I wanted it to. Polythiesm discovered; it's time for a trading round.
Trade Polytheism to China for Code of Laws, Mathematics and 50gold.
Trade Polytheism to Zulu for MapMaking and 12gold.
Trade Babylon Writing and Mathematics for World Map.
Embassy with England for 52 gold. They have 32 turns to the Oracle.
Trade Zulu WM and Code of Laws for WM and 31g
Trade England Polytheism, Code of Laws and World Map for Alliance vs Iroquois, World Map and 20 gold.
Embassy with China for 63g. They have 13 turns to the Pyramids.
Trade China WM for WM plus 27gold.
Embassy with Babylon for 67gold. They have the Oracle due in 23 turns.
Trade Babylon MapMaking, Code of Laws and territory map for Alliance against Iroquois; Alliance against Romans and 15gold.
Switch Sparta back to Great Library. Send warrior to Spart for MP duty. Research Currency due in 14 turns at 100% science and -5gpt.
710BC China and Irroquois signed MA against England. Athens: Settler -> Barracks; Knossos founded: building Warrior.
690BC barb horse shows up; Hoplite sent to intercept.
670BC horsE impales in Hoplite. Corinth: Wroker -> Worker.
650bc Thermopylae: Worker -> Warrior; Argos founded to get the Iron at some point.
630BC Movement of troops.
610BC Knossos: Warrior -> Warrior. I lose a Hoplite attacking a barb. Oops!
590BC Zzzz
570BC Athens: Barracks -> Horseman?
Ending comment: I suggest we decrease research for Currency because at this point the AI can't trade us anything for it. I would wait at least until Construction shows up but I would even gamble and wait for another government to be available.

No, but given that England is so close to Pyramids and some other AIs started on those as well, I think the Oracle will be built in the cascade from Pyramids. I fear that the Great Library might be built the same turn or soon after. Since we are going to lose one of the two anyway Id say, we better lose the Oracle. On a related issue, Sparta needed a library before the wonder, its culture is pathetic at the moment.
More comments:
Smellincoffee->Building a wall in Sparta was useless, I build walls in about 1% of the cities I ever build and only in case of a certain aggression from an AI.
Håkon->Why research Philosophy? Why not trade for Mysticism later?

Philosophy was on from the start, couldn't change it unless you wanted to lose a lot of research points.
About not trading, well, that was probably stupid. I thought it would lose us our tech lead. I see now that the turnlog is misleading - we did get Philosophy and I then changed to Polytheism (late night playing, OK?)

Can't post a dotmap, the save doesn't seem to be working...
Yndy- it had to build something while I waited for it to grow and since I kept getting hassled by barbarians, I figured it couldn't do any harm. 
Then again, I could've started work on the settler, but since I had to switch that over to worker, so much the better.

Could've, but I was under the impression we were using Athens as a 20K site. Entirely my fault for not reading the thread again once my headache had subsided.
Yep!

570BC: Slide science down a little bit, Currency in 6 at +2gpt.
550BC: Take out barb camp above Argos. Argos warrior > warrior. Sparta grows, GL due in 11.
530BC: Slide slider to 3.7.0, Currency in 4 at 6gpt. Change production of horseman to settler in Athens. Our military is horrible but if Iro or Romans manage to come by with anything worth worrying about we could probably give a territory map for peace. Set Corinth to galley, see if we can find the other civs.
IBT: Babs sign peace with Rome...
490BC: Slider set to 5.5.0, Currency in 3 at 10gpt. Athens Settler > Warrior (to be upgraded to swordsman later on)
IBT: Beijing builds the Pyramids, French build the Colossus.
470BC: Grab hut near Intombe, get Construction.
450BC: Argos warrior > barracks. Thermopylae warrior > warrior. Warrior pops hut and gets barbs
IBT: Warrior defeats all three barbs, promotes to Elite. We get Currency, move into the Middle Ages and get Monotheism.
430BC: We can't get any of the middle age techs in a short amount of time so I set research Republic at 8.1.1 (move lux to 10% to prevent Sparta from rioting)
410BC: nothing
390BC: Delphi barracks > warrior
IBT: Persians build Oracle
370BC: Athens settler > hoplite. Mycenae founded, set to library.
IBT: Chinese declares war on Romans!!!
350BC: Sparta GL > library, Pharsalos worker > library.
Warrior in Zulu territory is heading towards the nearby hut. Alliance with England against Iro lasts only 1 more turn. Building GL cut all wonder building. Republic in 36 turns at 8.1.1. OUr military is horrible and we probably need to expand quite a bit more now. Sparta is at size 9 and lux needs to be at 10% to keep it from rioting. Ironically Athens is the #1 city.
Here is the link
Here is our empire, blue dot is where the settler is currently heading. Red dots are other possible locations (well what I think....)
