Sorry for the briefness of the turnlog, but there was not a lot happening. Most of it was empire management and moving troops to go after the Minoans. The 5 turns still took several hours to play.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
preturn 1000AD
RUS will make peace for 20gold - I agree
buy Military Tradition from RUS for 4125 and swap Wmaps
buy World Map from FRA for our Map and 45gold - was hoping to fill in fog on Barb Island
Vikings have a galley next to Malmo / Khwar still hiding
Cycled thru all cities - any city producing only 1 shield I took off of military production - we should build temples, markets & aqueducts in those as need and then switch to wealth. Don't bother buying/building courthouses unless its in our production core. Also switched all BH builds to cavalry.
After 45 minutes of prep work & some final troop moves I hit enter to play my first turn.
IBT - saw 4 different VIK ships out sailing
Turn 1 - 1010AD
WW is hitting 42-50% have over a dozen cities rioting that were all happy on the end of prior turn
The last Mongol sacrifice must have worked. I attack the VIK galley near Malmo and sink it and eliminate them from the game.
WW still rampant at 42 to 50% - we are currently at war with neoCart (we declared) , OTTO (declared on us ??) , MIN (declared on us) & Khwar (we declared) - must be from Khwar
Make peace with Khwar - getting his wmap - he has ROP with everyone - even with their map I can't locate them
WW drops to 20%
INT - CART LB takes out a BH / RUS completes Copernicus'
Turn 2 - 1020AD
People much happier now - add to our Palace
rush some markets in size 6 or plus cities
BH kills a CART hoplite
BH dies attacking a CART hoplite
Ordu Archer takes out the Hoplite capturing Rusicade & they go bye-bye
found embassy with Arab
take out OTTO galley
There appears to be some workers that are automated - screen went too fast to tell how many or where
Turn3 - 1030AD
found New Ulistay
found New Bayanhongor
move troops - we do not have enough troops positioned to take on Minons effectively
IBT - Minoans offer peace - I decline
Turn4 - 1040AD
found New Har-Ayrag
lose 2 BH in capture of Olus (MIN)
minor troop moves
Turn5 - 1050AD
found New Nalayh
take out OTTO galley
The 1050AD Save
Notes to next player
1) I have some cavs in transport to Minoan land. We need to go from Darhan (our mainland) to Nora by sea. Then go over land from Nora to mountain area between Hippo & Utica, then re-board and transport near Olus on Minoan land.
2) I got 3 settlers on Barb Island. There are 2 Minoan cities there, I was hoping they would grow to size 2 before attacking them.
3) Keep building/rushing temples for cultural expansion.
4) As 1 shield cities complete temples, marketplaces and aqueducts switch them to wealth.
5) 1 army is on Minoan land, the other 3 can not be transported until we get magnetisim, however we do really need it to win the game.
6) There are still 584 tiles unclaimed, we need to claim as many as possible.
7) We can make peace with the Minoans but until we get pushed I would not.
8) I was trying to position some ships to do the ship chaining thing again.
Due to the length of time to transport units the next player may want to take more than 5 turns. However it still takes a long time to play each turn.
Have a few for me. 
I'm confused by Mistfit's mnimap though. What date is that? We're at 1000 AD, and I thought the Vikings were languishing on a boat somewhere at the end of my turns. It looks more like mad-bax's save to me.
