Well, then let's at least finish them this time. Try not to use elites to generate leaders, and just keep on pressing until they are completely gone this time.

Sorry all. I'm in the middle of moving to a new house. Too much painting, cleaning, packing, etc. going on to play. Things should be back to normal for me towards the end of next week.

I guess that goes to me then.
Unfortunately, I don't see myself touching this before Sunday.

You know, when I first started playing SG's, we barely finished my first game. The dropouts we had really left a bad taste in my mouth. As such, I have made it pretty clear that I abhor skips/dropouts, and pride myself on never being skipped (other than vacations) in my time on these boards (although I have certainly delayed a time or three). Curious how sometimes one must become that which he loathes, huh?
When I came home from work tonight, I was informed that the relationship I have been in for the past four years was crumbling. Unfortunately, the time I spend on Civ/SG's is one of the reasons.
As such, my time for civ will be severely limited in the coming weeks while I tend to more important things. While it is possible I could perhaps keep my obligation in one or two games, it doesn't feel right to pick and choose which one(s).
Therefore, it is with great remorse and my most sincere apologies that I must request to be put on auto skip in all games, effective immediately. Hopefully I will still be able to lurk a bit, and maybe even contribute here and there (especially from work).
If things get smoothed out quickly, then I will request to be added back in to rosters, at the hosts' discretion. I am not terribly optimistic though.
Once again, apologies to all.

Good luck sorting this out.
I don't know if we have any thing that could be called "roster" left, but I'll pick it up and just guess this could be our roster.

Wow, it was really evil to DoW the greece.
We have only 2 kights for some attackings and many undefended citys on our mainland. So this gonna be a very hard test.
First, i changed the most citys to cav and muskets. We need defnetly more attackers.
1050: killed the most German units
1060: lost Cataract to greece after a 1 knight attack
captured it back with 1 knight (a little bit lucky)
1070: lost Arausio to greece again after a 1 knight attack
captured it back
It tooks a long time since i saw such a stupid AI. each attack, only with one knight at greece and a stack of about 20 german pikes who walk around and do nothing.
1080: nothing special, only killing some German pikes and building up a stack for greece.
1090: captured Mycenae
1100: Sumer builds shakespeare
1110: Mycenae flips back (wow strong culture)
I capture it back and raized it
1120: raized Eretria
1130: found New Entrenat (at Mycenae position)
captured Konigsberg
1140: nothing
I have two settler/musket pairs for the next citys at formaly greece territory. Theire culture is too high to hold the captured greece citys.
The Germans are no real problem. But i think the possibillity to loose the citys to England is very high.

This is still a deity game, with a variant that can make it much harder even. If all runs smooth we will win it by domination, but we need to play by that standard too and I would really like to win it.
Nothing personal, but I got this game in a pitfull state. Many cities have specialists without any reason. I know we have built our core very close so size 12 is not always possible, but we have many more cities on zero growth or even starvation than needed. What is worse: our best city in spt Lugdunum has a worthless 538 shield palace pre-build, while we miss The Pentagon, which makes our armies size 4. We have no chance to get a wonder with beeing behind in tech - what a waste. On the other hand we have rushed the military academy in German Salts, a totally currupt city in the middle of jungle on a remote island. Please reread what the military academy does.
[/rant]
I have played 11 turns to get us back in the rhythm.
Pre: Waste 138 shields in Lugdunum and one turn of production to get The Pentagon, which we needed many turns ago. Remanage some towns.
1150AD: Germany and America sign a trade embargo vs us. Gained a leader - I attack with elites, because we will kill Germany on our turns which will trigger the Bad Apple anyways.
1160AD: Herakleia razed.
1170AD: --
1180AD: Cataractonium founded. Delphi taken.
1190AD: Berlin taken. Deva founded.
1200AD: Sumeria and Greece sign peace. America and Greece sign trade embargo vs us. Magnetism in - we have entered the industrial ages. Steam Power next.
1210AD: Lincoln demans TM and 23 gold and gets it. New Entremont founded. Athens taken.
1220AD: --
1230AD: Leipzig taken and Germany is out. Thermopylae, Argos taken. We renew peace with Lincoln. We give furs, silks and 16gpt for wines to Sumeria. Can't pay Abu for incense, but we don't need to now.
1240AD: We take Thessalonica and Corinth and Greece is out. New Alesia, New Lugdunum founded. Arabia and Babylon sign MPP.
1250AD: Rearrangement.
Some things I would like to mention:
We have settlers on the way to fill open spaces east of the fish near Thessalonica, east of the dear near Corinth, north of the dear in the swamps (worker must clear first) and 2 southwest of the silks in the jungle.
The road to Germany Salts will complete next turns and dyes will be online, we may adjust lux then.
We miss many improvements in our core, especially universities and banks.
Regarding war I think we should not wait long and take out England or Sumeria first. England is still strong vs us, so you will have to make heavy use of our armies, but they only have a few cities. After that we can take out Arabia and probably have enough land to trigger domination without any need to bother with Abe.
Steam Power will be in in 11 turns. Please arrange RR teams of 6 native workers or equivalent short before it is in. I would suggest Industrialization after that - maybe you can arrange a trade - I could not.
