Turn 1 - 1580 AD - Mao has a couple stacks heading toward Utica. They are pillaging. Moving troops toward Utica, big stack off of Xian is healing, cats bombarding. Traded wines to Liz for 3gpt.
Turn 2 - 1583 AD - Razed Xian, lost a cossack, but collected 180 gold. Held fast in Utica, then have put a hurt on his stack depleting it. Reinforcements on the way. A Great Engineer is born, parking him in Moscow for Oxford. Our Greenpeace Explorer pillaged Mao's Whaling boats.
Turn 3 - 1586 AD - Looks like Mao sent most of his troops to Utica, where they are failing miserably. I'm gaining reinforcements and picking off his stack w/o losing any. Hadrementum looks safe, Cossack picked off a single Knight on the way there. When I get rid of the stack, going to get that little town in between.
Turn 4 - 1589 AD - Liz won't trade Econ 101, Alex will but for waaaay too much (Nationalism & Chemistry). Gems appear on a mine in Rostov! Pillaged 120 gold. Whittled his stack down to a Knight.
Turn 5 - 1592 AD - Knight gone, our stack now moving toward Kaifeng. our south stack is pillaging while the Cossacks heal. There is obviously a town in the fog to the North..
Turn 6 - 1595 AD - Picking off his strays, I got weedy and forgot and he got a couple workers i got greedy in trying to get those wines hooked up. Another 87 pillage gold.
Turn 7 - 1598 AD - Fairly quiet turn, killed a couple more stragglers including a General. Still sending troops toward the fron with Utica has the mustering poing. After we get Kaifeng, a pincer movement from the north and the south to get that city east of Beijing.
Turn 8 - 1601 AD - Kaifeng is razed. South stack is still healing north stack moving toward Haifeng.
Turn 9 - 1604 AD - Great Scientist born, sending him to build academy in Novgorod. North stack closes in on Haifeng. A caraval moved in from the sea and killed one of the south Triremes, the other is running away.
Turn 10 - 1607 AD - Traded whales to Gandhi for 3gpt. Traded Constitution to Caesar for Econ 101 and 550 gold. Research is still 30% but we are now +2 and we have 1758G in the bank. Troops enroute are heading to Utica.
Printing press is due in 3 turns, I've started some Universities, I imagine we can whip those soon. the Great Engineer is in Moscow, Great Scientist on his way to Novgorod for Academy. Haifeng has 1 Knight, 2 longbows and something else, so it should go down pretty easily.

As a result, decided definitely to push on toward Beijing, pillaging all the while. We'll raze Beijing, I imagine, but will need more siege afterward, some of which is on the way or being built.
