Trade ops never really presented themselves to us, although Japan came out of nowhere and traded with our continent. No idea with what.
I name things because for this SG it's fun. :mischief: Soap dish the Curragh I have heading to cross the Ocean since I couldn’t upgrade him, you can do with him what you like.

Guys, I am really, really, really, sorry, but it's just that I've discovered that ,with my schedule, I really don't have enough time for a SG so adios
 
Time to let 1 or 2 people jump in on this SG, lets? We lost one and have one MIA. Dahgs and myslef are on a small rotation here atm. Crappy start and all, I'd still like to see if we can even last until Demo and make the world pay for us being Sunbaked English Blokes :mad:
 
pre turn- nada
IBT-
(1) 950- workers work
IBT- Gilgamesh wants us out of Sumer. Well we don't wanna be there anyway so...
Iro's finish Pyramids so they're gonna be big.
Highland Park worker--> temple (pre build for lib.)
(2) 925- Soap Dish head for Iro shores. I can spot Greek border over there.
Iron is still available.
IBT-
(3) 900- Not much. Workers keep sweating which is the foundation of everything to come so that's good.
IBT- York --> Galley, goes S to load our settler (hurry up Harry)
Americans finish the Oracle
Japs finish the Colossus in Koyoto = :mad:
(4) 875- Change London to Lighthouse (i.e. TGL)
IBT-
(5) 850- Soap makes it over the ocean :party:
IBT-
(6) 825- Meet Alex. We're up CoL/MM, he's up Poly and has 211 golds + 6 cities. Hire some scientists. We really could do with some luxes.
IBT-
(7) 800- Galley Harry is loaded w settler and Spear and heading twd the Jap iron. York is building a new settler so we can get the furs W Tokyo.
IBT- Mongols demands 20 g's. We lose 1 turn research on that. Lit in 3 instead of 2.
(8) 775-
IBT- Lit in, start Philo. London --> The Great Library
(9) 750- fiddle with sliders
IBT- Talisker Granny--> lib
(10) 730- All cities but London and York buils librarys.

Harry the Galley should drop the settler party on the iron, then head back to pick up the York settler and bring him W Tokyo to claim the furs. Change some build to worker. We only have 4.

Variant- We play like 'lambs', ie, no demanding cave in too all demands, no wars, and no other aggression... until we hit democracy (bee-lining for it of course... ) then Democratic Always War (with war-time mobilization with Nationalism)!!! Note its when we research Demo, not when we switch, so we wanna like build up military for Judgement Day(TM)
Hey Boss, how come you reject Hiawathas demand for lit?
 
Honestly, I'm not sure this SG is surviving. Seems to be down to the 3 of us.
That Iron has been claimed by Japan btw.

lux down to 20%
the jap iron is NOT claimed.
change gangstville to galley
IBT--

Rep. in 32
IBT
Iro's finishes Lighthouse
490BC
Raise lux to 30%
IBT
470BC
start chopping a lib at Highland Park
Can we afford not building military? I decide we can...for now.
IBT
450BC
All I can say is “Too Late”. Furs are gone, iron is gone and mongols have a settler placed on the goody hut.

IBT
430BC
Soap Dish is threatened by a Iro galley
IBT
Sumerians have lit and starts the Glib. Greeks builds SoZ
410BC
Not much
IBT
York builds settler  Horseman
390BC
Workers work
IBT
Abe finishes the wall. Mongols start The Glib
370BC
The Jap island is barb infested so will have to hold on dropping the settler
IBT
Sumerians finishes ToA. Our settler/galley is sunk by a barb ship.

This looks bad as ever, but who knows what will happen. Talisker will finish lib. next turn. Start a galley there and get the settler by London. Send him S but not un-escorted. If Greece or Iros land we might have to pay some for peace since we're short on steel.
