2 turns to our GA.
180K switches to town clock. I short rush to save a turn. I want to get Battlefield Medicine started as a pre-build ASAP.
I give USA 8791 to get steam power. I keep clock works, as I want to snag some wonders along that part of the tech tree.
I sell steam power to Lowlands for $136 and $90/T.
I sell physics to Mongolia for $102 and $83/T.
I sell steam power to Nubia for $203 and $203/T.
I sell economics to Egypt for $154 and $83/T.
I sell steam power to Maghreb for $95 and $86/T.
I sell physics to Persia for $50, $102/T and a worker. It is rare we you get to buy a worker in CCM.
I sell physics to Russia for $50 and $77/T.
I sell medicine to Britain for a marginal $40 and $42/T.
I end the phony war with Arabia giving them $25 for peace.
We are absurdly strong in tech for being in the age of discovery. After these trades we are getting almost 3K in cash per turn.
(IT) We lost a knight to Korea. (0-1)
660 AD (1)
We capture Seoul with $25 and 2 workers. We capture World Religion Buddhism. Religious centers are more effective. We get free Buddhist communities in all cities.
I give Nubia horses and $5,642 to get ballistics.
I’m not sure if I found another CCM issue. Despite having a source of coal I don’t get the option to build steam engines.
We upgrade to muskets for no cost.
We kill Korea: 3 crossbows, 1 Yogi, 2 enslavers and 6 spears. (12-1)
(IT) Sydney Cove is completed. Our GA begins.

The attack force rests. Our units took a beating. A healthy stack starts to build for the next targets.
I ship the backwards Indo-China theology for $35 and $9/T.
We lost: 1 lawyer. (12-2)

They may be an age behind, but the volume of French troops is impressive. Our balloon help to reveal stacks of 2, 11, 7, 3, 20, 2 and 2. I think some already went out of sighting range.
We kill Korea: 1 crossbow. (15-3)

We capture Incheon and $1.
What the? Incheon can build Steam Engine? I thought all cities could build it, not just cities with coal in radius.
I buy bastion fortification from India for $5,410. I wait on absolutism since only 3 civs have it so far.
Korea will last longer due to France blocking the way in.
I ship backwards China Physics for $38 and $38/T.
I ship Lowlands iron for $965. They also get elephants for $625.

I notice Spanish troops walking past our saltpeter colony toward Greece or France.
I still can’t figure out where France is heading. I’m starting to get nervous they are going to force a war before we are ready.

Summary:
Coal, coffee and a bit less than 6,000 will get us absolutism. That will open up great palace for spy missions. It also opens up hussar (or our specific unit). War elephants and knights of the realm upgrade to this. I’m hoping to hold out a bit and get it cheaper when more civs know it. Right now only 3 civs know it.
Our troops are starting to collect by Seoul. The eventual attack on France will start here.
I’m hoping we can complete also all buildings during this GA. Then we can go military heavy for the conquest phase.
Don’t trade clockworks We still have a monopoly. Free artistry is 4 turns away, and battle field medicine completes in 180K in 5. If we keep clockworks as a monopoly long enough I think we can get Great Playhouse first (spend those monks / artists). After that we can snag Taj Mahal and Neuschwanstein. Both of those are good for a civ wide happy face. I am also hoping this gives as a strong lead to get railroad first, and the super wonder Crystal Place for *2* free techs.
Take a look at war memorial under military tradition. It helps with science output???

Yes, this is another error, that was reported some time ago: https://forums.civfanatics.com/threads/ccm2-epic-mod.625812/page-22#post-15547348and is fixed for the next biq.
Nice to see the Koreans gone. 
I might not trade Clockworks at all. We need time to build the 3 Wonders in 180K.
I got it. I anticipate being finished before the weekend.

Arabia, India and, USA learned Clockworks. 180K should build Great Playhouse on turn we learn Free Artistry. Getting another Great Wonder should be no problem. The third Wonder might be a close race. I am swapping Wonders and building the Great Playhouse as the Third Wonder. If we do not get it we can still build an Opera.
Since 3 Civs learned Clockworks, I traded Clockworks, Spices, Coal and 172 gold to Lowlands for Absolutism. We can now build the Great Palace.
Since The Great Palace acts as a barracks, I was thinking of building it in Hobart to give us another City with a barracks for the turns after we learn Military Tradition (castles become obsolete) and before we learn Communism. The problem is the Great Palace produces 5 culture per turn so it would fit nicely in 180K. Any preferences?

Early set teaser:
None of our opponents have learned Printing Press yet, so worst case is I will most likely get the second Wonder build just as they are finishing Free Artistry. It might be a race to see who finishes the Third Wonder.
Right now I am building the Taj Mahal. The idea is that if we do not get to finish building the Great Playhouse, we switch to building the Opera. If we really want the Great Playhouse I have no problem switching the build order.
Which tech should we be learning and should we go all out to learn it asap?
There are 3 techs available. As can be seen in the screen shot below, I have picked Naval Power.
I think the order of study should be:
Naval Power
Enlightenment (slavery becomes obsolete)
Military Tradition (castles become obsolete)

My vote is Great Playhouse next. Free theaters everywhere really help our new conquests. 25% more shields is nice in 180K. I suspect we get all three, as I think the AI isn't building anything.
I agree with the tech order. Railroad and Crystal palace is the big prize we want.

I am between 830AD and 840AD. Spain just declared war on us. Spain has some 20+ troops SoDs close to our northwest cities (Darwin, Elephantium Prime and, not far from 180K).
France just offered us peace I can get 2 cities (Rouen and Grenoble) plus all their gold (88 gold). I was getting set to attack Paris. However, I do not think I can take Paris easily and the troops are need to beat off the Spainish. I am inclined to accept the peace with France (fighting will be easier with Rails). Any opinions?

Navigation to Japan for 71 gold and 60 gpt.
Since I like happy people, Coffee and 172 gold to India for Silks.
IBT: Arabia, India and, USA just learned Clockworks. We should learn Free Artistry before they learn Printing Press. It will be close but I think we can still build all 3 of the Free Artistry Wonders.
760 AD:
Hire some more Scientists in 180K so we do not have a 100+ shield overflow when we build Great Playhouse.
West of Seoul an ePriest kills an Enslaver (1, 0). We conclude that the enslaver must have been French. To rectify this affront, we declare War on the French.

Okay so I was optimistic when I said I might never trade Clockworks. Given that 3 countries have learned Clockworks and this looks like a good deal:
Clockworks, Spices, Coal and, 39 Gold to the Lowlands for Absolutism.
Followed by Clockworks to Nubia for 135 gpt.

840 AD:
The citizens of 180K complain. They had been expecting a 25% increase in productivity.
However, the out of work Entertainers now have jobs. Their efforts are helping the city become more cultured. Even the Monks, who had been clostered, emerge to bring even more culture to 180K.
Instead of allowing the Spanish to pillage Pyongsong, I abandon it.
IBT: India starts building the Taj Mahal. It will take 180K 4 more turns, I do not know how fast the city of Bengal can build it.
Our Fur deal with Poland expires. I trade Chivalry to Poland for Furs, 51 gold and 11 gpt.

At Hyangsan, eLawyer kills Greek Late Pike (88, 16); Lawyer kills Crossbow (89, 16).
Reminder: Do Not Build Opera in 180K.
Screenshots to follow
Notes:
Arabia and India have learned Free Artistry. It looks like we could trade it for Naval Power and Start researching Enlightenment.
Also, we could get Military Tradition, but then our Castles become obsolete. If we wait until Arabia or India will trade Enlightenment to us (probably 4 turns) we might still be able to trade a Tech to either the Lowlands or Nubia for Military Tradition.
The Workers next to Hyangsan can build a road in 1 Turn.
The stack of Workers in northern Melbourne just finished building a Mine. If you move them to the stack of Workers in Southern Melbourne they can finish the Mine plus Road next turn.
I think we should build the Military Academy in Hobart to let it build Veteran troops after Castles go obsolete (when we learn Military Tradition).

Notes:
Arabia and India have learned Free Artistry. It looks like we could trade it for Naval Power and Start researching Enlightenment.
Also, we could get Military Tradition, but then our Castles become obsolete. If we wait until Arabia or India will trade Enlightenment to us (probably 4 turns) we might still be able to trade a Tech to either the Lowlands or Nubia for Military Tradition.
The Workers next to Hyangsan can build a road in 1 Turn.
The stack of Workers in northern Melbourne just finished building a Mine. If you move them to the stack of Workers in Southern Melbourne they can finish the Mine plus Road next turn.
I think we should build the Military Academy in Hobart to let it build Veteran troops after Castles go obsolete (when we learn Military Tradition).
