1475 BC (0):
Now that is an aggressive and rather foolish settlement. Question is wether it will flip or not. Or do we need a 
. Drop lux to 10%.
1450 BC (1): Lux back to 20% for Amsterdam. Mayas just picked up Map Making. But don't see any reason to buy it at Seconds. Can sell Math or HBR to Babs or Carth for all there respective golds ~190 total.
1425 BC (2): Amsterdam builds a spear starts a settler.
1400 BC (3): Not much.
Tempted to take the 150 from Hanibal for math but roll the dice and hope he gets a tech soon.
1375 Bc (4): Not Much.
1350 BC (5): Amsterdam builds a settler starts another. Sending settler to the SW of Groningen. To either claim more land or continue to claim the silks.
1325 BC (6): zzzz
1300 BC (7): England is sending a settler North toward the frozen tundra. Sweet Carthage just picked up Map making. Math ALONE gets us Map Making and 150 gold
Now we can build Galleys to settle the isands. MM is really changed values since Maps can't be traded yet. Take the 90 gold from Lizzy for MapMaking rather than allowing her to give it to the Mayas. The Incas just pickup MM as well. Begin research on Philo due in 8 turns with the intention of trying for a Scientific Leader.
1275 BC (8); Groningen builds a warrior starts a temple. Buy an English worker off Lizzy for 115 gold. "slaves" Look differnt 
.
1250 BC (9): Amsterdam builds a settler starts a galley. Settler is in Amsterdam waiting for the Galley. Can still sell tech to Babs. A settler/warrior pair is just outside of Groningen to go whereever Lee sees fit. Not sure what is the best move there. Philo is due in 6. Edit: Coffee pointed out in LK57 that if Philo comes in first for us then we get a free tech.

Alright alright you can have the top!
Sell him back and charge me later. Crippling in 1250 BC??? I would suggest that that is not true at all of a demigod civ but can't say for sure. IF it is truely an issue then sell him or gift him back. I will just long for the days of LK30 something when Worker purchases got

I honestly missed the worker deals.

1250BC (pre-turn)
I must agree with hotrod0823, the placement of Groningen is way to close to Hastings. The one extra food from the river isn't worth this placement.
I dial up Babylon and take his $93 for math.
(I) Hammi is an ungrateful @##@$ - the reward for us selling him math is to demand horseback riding. Considering how pathetic our military is I cave.
1200BC
(I) England builds the Pyramids! The 600lb guerilla is now an 800lb guerilla. Then the Incan completed the great lighthouse.
1150BC
(I) We get Philosophy first and we take currency as our free tech.
1100BC
Eindhoven is formed, and we have the needed horse city.
1075BC
Arnhem is formed and we control the rest of the island.
We didn't get Philosophy with much to spare as two other civs now have it without me selling it due to lack of trades.
1050BC
Currency goes to England for Construction and $200.
Summary:
War is coming before my next round. Even at $60 and upgrade, we can create a 10+ swordsman SoD. We need to be get ready ASAP.

I will be able to play Saturday at the earliest. Just to let you know.
LK56 Dutch Demigod
1000BC (0) We are pushing hard up against the pyramids-enhanced English. But they have no horses or iron. We will be going to war with them before too long.
Techwise, I am shocked to see us leading the pack. England is even with us, but everyone else is behind. Perhaps the benefit of being a seafaring civ with contacts to all. Or more accurately, their lack of contacts.
Swap around a few build orders. Gronin from settler to walls. This will be a military flashpoint. Defense will be wanted. Amsterdam from warrior to harbor so that we can import our horses. It will then go back to warrior production in anticipation of upgrade to swords. Arnhem is changed to worker so that all of those BGs on the island can get in use. We only need 1 harbor on that island anyway (Eindhoven).
IT the Mayans complete the Statue of Zeus.
975BC (1)
950BC (2) Sell around Philosophy for 155 gold.
925BC (3) Gronin flips to the English.
900BC (4) The Babs drop off a spear and warrior next to Arnhem. I take a spear and warrior from Amsterdam to help add more force on our island.
IT No surprise, the Babs sneak attack. Their warrior does kill our spear in Arnhem.
875BC (5) I go to MA with Carthage against the Babs. Then I realize that the Babs have met no one as no one has them available to MA. So this is a way to tell if a nation has contact or not.
IT Our 2 warriors defeat attacking spear and warrior of the Babs.
850BC (6) Sell HBR to Carthage for dyes and 37 gold. Lower lux tax to 10%
825BC (7) Kill a landed spear and warrior. Sink a Bab galley, but lose a curragh in the process.
The Mayans and English have CoL. Sell Currency to the Mayans for CoL and 70 gold.
800BC (8) I whip a temple in Utrecht.
775BC (9) Notice that the English have starved down Gronin. Or at least it is down to size 1 now.
750BC (10) Our road to the iron completes. Upgrade 10 warriors to swords.
I had expected that we would go to war with England in a turn or two. But the Bab conflict is slowing things down a bit. It might be worth putting a sword or two on the island for security, and then going to war with England. We badly need the space. I would raze Hastings for the space. Possibly capture the rest.
England has no iron or horses. Have fun, Meldor!

A couple of things that I did not put in my report.
We might want to turn Arnhem into a settler/worker factory. It has the wheat. And after a government change, it will have 3 food in its center. Not exactly 5fpt, but it will grow reasonably well. The other cities are far too crucial for other purposes to go settler production now. With this in mind, it might make sense to swap Arnhem over to a granary.
Although it overlaps some, we might consider putting a town NW of Utrecht. It would be on a river and could work 2 whales with expanded borders. A nice "fishing village" indeed.
There are several more warriors available for upgrade. I moved some over to the island to help prodtect against the Babs. We could move swords over and bring warriors back for upgrade. Further, I would not be opposed to upgrading regular warriors. I expect that we will be facing a lot of archers and warriors. An upgrade to vet will likely come quickly.
There is an English settler pair next to Utrecht. I was blocking their path north with the intention of providing a slave target.
One question that is open in my mind is whether we want to capture or raze the English cities. Hastings is obviously razed. Groningin is obviously captured. London is a capture for the Pyramids. The rest are open to discussion.
Thoughts running through my mind right now are: 1) Our lack of workers (raze more); 2) Lack of settlers (Arnhem? for a factory); and 3) placement of the English cities. These are my current thoughts: capture Coventry, raze Warwick and found a new city 1 tile NW. After that, I am not sure. I don't particularly like the location of Oxford. The rest are not badly located.

Lee, we did make peace with the Babs.
Good set of turns, Meldor.
I cannot believe the english got the stupid Great Wall. All of the other ancient age wonders that they could have built would not have mattered much.
:sigh:
At least they still have no iron or horses. It will just take longer to remove them.

Alrighty then...Some Lizzie-bashing in the works. Wake up the Catapult and pound the Archer on the mountain. Our Science is zero on Montheism - add a scientist in a city to find we are 8 turns gone on that (only 42 to go!) 
Switch Amsterdam over to Catapult (now that we are facing walls everywhere). We are up at least Polytheism over the rest of the world.
530 BC (1) Resistance at Groningen ends. Spear/Settler fends off an Archer attack *whew*. Wake up two warriors from our Island and bring them back over to be upgraded.
510 BC (2) Kill the English archer. Healing and staging turn.
490 BC (3) 2 English archers approach from Coventry, and one from Oxford. Amsterdam switched back to Swords. Uprade 2 warriors to Swords. Go and get the last two from the Island. Settler turned around from the destination on the ruins of the English city because an army of 5 English Archers are waiting there.
470 BC (4) English Archers advance. Sword and Cat produced and others ordered. Upgrade 2 more Warriors and a Connugh into a galley.
450 BC (5) Archer pillages a road near Groningen. We capture Coventry with the loss of 1 sword. Kill an archer in the stack outside Groningen, wound another with the catapult.
430 BC (6) Groningen successfully fends off 3 Archer attacks with no losses. (That elite spear deserves a medal! - but we would have settled for a great leader!) More English archers show up. Amsterdam (sword->horse) Resistence in Coventry ends. The English are willing to talk peace, and have learned Republic (but won't part with it for free). It is something to consider as we might eventually get it at a cheap discount in peace talks. England is in Anarchy! I don't think I should end the war now, right? Kill a wandering Archer and Spear and gain a promotion. Move a Sword back to the Island for defense.
410 BC (7) Kill 2 Archers and two warriors with no losses (the Cats are hitting everything is sight!). Start an invasion force towards York.
390 BC (8) Rotterdam (Sword->Sword) English units are drying up. Found Maastricht. Nothing has changed on the tech front.
370 BC (9) Babs demands Polytheism. I ignore him and he goes away. Arnhem (Barracks->Temple) Amsterdam (Horse->Settler). Conquer York with 1 Sword loss. I decide to raze it because of the flip risk. Hmmm...??? Didn't get any slaves out of a size 6 city?
350 BC (10) Hmmm....England is now a Republic? 4 turn Anarchy??? We have two attack stacks now, they can converge upon Coventry, and then maybe London itself. Lizzy is "doubtful" about giving us Republic for peace. We still have a Monopoly on Polytheism. We are near our allowed units limit. I should have had another settler ready to replace York, but I miscalculated how easy it would fall. There is a Barb tribe in the North. Good luck!

Er.... I hope you don't mind following me in so many games. Hopefully you can cover up all my missteps!
By the way, I apologize to the whole team for my misplacement of the town of Groningen originally. I was so pissed at Lizzie's aggressive settling, I let my emotions override my better judgement. Sorry!
