Very nice.
I would get a few nukes built first before you attack Turkey. Saves a lot of lives on the British side. (Those Turkish cavalry can be quite deadly to tanks when used in mass suicides)
Airports should be built first and at least 5-6 fresh troops sent to the frontlines in the Middle East before you declare war.
IMHO, Arabia isn't a very good use of your vassal spot--you want to capture India, Baghdad and Ethiopia/Kenya, which is where Arabia would have expanded. It will only help you with Persia (which can respawn at any time).
Send some convicts to Australia via first class flights.

Note that I have only listed the significant constructions.
Turn 0 Re-routed some ships and quequed buildings.
Turn 1 Francis Drake sunk a Malinese Caravel.
Turn 2 Our destroyer sunk a Privateer in the Indian Ocean. Francis Drake sinks a mongolian frigate. Settlers/convicts land in northern Australia. I notice that we have accumulated 3500 espionage points against turkey, so in order to exploit these points in a proper manner, Cairo needs to build couple spies to orchestrate revolts on the same turns, when we attack the cities. Chicago finishes supermarket, next airport. Fort Rupert finishes grocer, next Airport. Stock Exchange is finished in Jerusalem, next grocer.
Turn 3 Plague spreads around the world, our attack must be postponed. The second city it spreads to is Bagdat. Francis Drake sinks a Japanese caravel this time; it healed enough with a promotion. We found Wyndham on the northern shores of Australia. We start building tanks, Durban pumps out settlers towards Australia.
Turn 4 Our first airport is opened in Chicago, next tank. The Commonwealth of England inhabits 200 million citizens. Malabar is founded in India, I placed it 1N of the usual spot so that it can work the sugar. Another settler lands in southwestern Australia.
Turn 5 I decide to declare war on India as I can't resist to capture those four much needed Indian workers. Also the plague doesn't seem to spread there as they just spawned. Perth is founded in Australia. Francis Drake sunks another Japanese caravel, I decide to attach a great general to it, however, I don't upgrade it to a destroyer (even for free) so that it can collect more upgrades; the other great general is already in Jerusalem. We train tanks in Egypt.
Turn 6 We research plastics, I pick Computers to come next. Mali and France give us 310 gold, just because we are so nice. Our cavalry regiments attack Mumbai, destroyer and two fighters give some support.
Turn 7 We build our first tank in Chicago. It is immeatidely airlifted to Malabar. The North American airports continue to spread our workers through out our newly founded colonies. William Shakespeare is born in Southampton. We already have a Great Scientist, so we only need one more for Golden Age. We continue to kill Indian macemen and longbowmen in Mumbai.
Turn 8 Mumbai gets some reinforcements, but so do we. Our tank is ready to attack the next turn.
Turn 9 I decide to build the Three Gorges Dam in Cairo, so that it provides energy to India and Middle East. They'll need it the most. We capture Bombay and approach Dilli and Lahore. We found Adelaide, I chose it over slightly better Melbourne, because it will eventually encompass more land.
Turn 10 We are invited to a Congress. France conquers Mombasa, so we have take it from them eventually. We conquer Lahore, I decide to keep it as its borders can spread far to Afganistan and Persia. Francis Drake is relocated to Australia, because it didn't find new victims around Hong Kong.

Notes & suggestions:
-Our last Australian city could be 1SE from the Northeastern goody hut, 2E from copper. It will take a big chunk of land. A settler just landed in New Zealand, it can be seen in the screenshot. I would settle on that spot.
-Don't promote Francis Drake to a destroyer yet as it can collect some free experience points before it is actually needed for real combat. It has the leadership promotion, so they'll accumulate quickly. However, most of the nations have frigates, so do not leave it outside a city, nor should it be used for iffy battles.
-India is up for taking. After founding the New Zealand city we could change resettlement for occupation for the while that it takes to conquer India. It should switched back as soon as we are about to found another city. And back to occupation when we attack Turkey. This is very important as we'll accumulate stability points for every city founded/conquered!
-Before attacking Bagdat and Iskenderum (razed) take the spies from Jerusalem to there and inflict a revolt. It will only last for a turn so make sure you are ready.
-I doubt we should/can capture anything else from Turkey..?

Don't forget the cultural dial (2-3 turns of 80% culture will greatly expand your land area) at the end.
I want to see some nukes!
Jusos: it's "sinks" (sunk is the past participle)

I'm sorry, but I probably won't be able to play until Wednesday night due to how my personal schedule is right now.

Yeah, but Australia is just really big.
I thought it sounded weird, but didn't bother to check.

That wouldn't exactly be historical now though would it?
Good job jusos2108. Any reason why you delayed Stock Exchange by 2 turns though? It immediately added around +30g when I hit end turn after my turn set, why delay this for 2 turns (I assume to finish the Grocer that had been partially constructed).

Do units with an attached GG not gain any more experience points if you upgrade them?

Apparently the British have no counter against the German V2s. So it's not out of the question if the British had nukes...

Something weird happened there, because when I got the save, I checked that it should be ready the next turn. When it wasn't, I checked the city again and it showed 540/540 hammers, I have never seen anything like it. Anyway it was finished the next turn. The only possible explonation (other than a bug) I can think of is that there was a one turn revolt Jerusalem.
Grocer was finished afterwards.They do, but since the unit is currently a privateer, it can attack every foreign ship.

Just so you guys know; I only played 5 turns last night. I'm playing the other 5 right now and I will check in again in an hour or two.

Turn 0 1862:
Nothing Done; India Collapses. I don't bribe anyone for the Congress.
Turn 1 1864:
Alexandria finishes Tank; begins Airport
Belize finishes Supermarket; begins Barracks
I put a theater in front of Lahore's queue in front of the forge because we need to spread culture to Afghanistan sooner rather than later
I conquer Delhi with Bomber/Tanks/Calvary with no loses. Khmer got Patna when India Collapsed, so we'll have to fight with them again. China got Lasa back, which is good news.
Fighters move to Lasa in anticipation of future war with Khmer over Bengal.
Turn 2 1866:
Bad news!
Khmer vassalizes to Turkey.
World Congress goes terribly. The Dutch get Singapore, which means we won't be getting it anytime soon. Germany gets Washington, which I vacate because I don't want war with the entire world.
Belize finishes Barracks, starts airport
Fort Rupert & New York begin barracks; Chicago begins Hydro Plant; I think we need a big buildup so that we can counter Turkey on multiple fronts as we take on Khmer.
However, there is a new World War with Turkey vs. Japan, Spain & Germany
Turn 3 1868:
Next Research is Rocketry
Southampton begins Tank
Durban finishes Settler, begins Airport
Chicago & Fort Rupert begin Bombers
I upgrade Jerusalem Cannons to Artillery
I start a golden Age with Moses in Dublin plus the Artist/Scientist in Southampton
Turn 4 1870:
Port Nolloth founded and begins Theater
Sydney begins settler for Cape York Peninsula.
Turn 5 1874:
Inverness finishes Mt Rushmore; begins bomber
Durban finishes Airport; begins supermarket
Belize finishes airport, begins tank
Chicago finishes tank, begins another tank
Hong Kong begins harbor
Bombay begins Levee
Turn 6 1878:
Rocketry is learned; Mass Media is up next
Durban finishes supermarket, begins industrial park
Sydney finishes settler; begins coal plant
Great Engineer flies from Alexandria to Durban; I will found Mining Inc (I really like the production bonuses it offers)
Turn 7 1882:
Big news, Turkey Collapses and Persia Respawns.
Alexandria and Jerusalem begin Industrial Parks.
We are at war with independent Baghdad; I send in artillery and infantry
I declare on Khmer now that their Turk protectors are gone. India's tanks tumble down the Ganges river valley towards Patna.
Turn 8 1880
Inverness finishes bomber and Southampton finishes tank; both begin industrial park
Belize finishes tank and begins hydro plant
Chicago begins marine. I plan to target Pagan next and it's only accessible via sea so I want a few marines.
Both Patna and Baghdad fall to British arms.
I had a lapse of judgment and accidentally founded Rockhampton instead of Cairns.
Turn 9 1882
Just more consolidation of newly won Baghdad and Patna and preparation for taking Pagan.
Turn 10 1884
Mass Media is learnt; I think Robotics should come next.
Question: Where do we build Hollywood?

And the save:
One other question, is Phuket within our rules for conquering. I know that Siam retained independence despite Anglo-French imperialism on all sides, but the city in RFC is in the same place as British-administered Malay.

I propose to replay the turn set, but we need to vote on replays. Jusos2108 what is your opinion on a replay of the previous turn set?
