merge a worker in Satsuma
Notes: I've been a bit slow in worker merges; workers in Kyoto, Osaka, and Satsuma should be merged next turn
Non-merged workers should start mining irrigation and hills
Granaries should be sold when cities get up to size 12
Courthouses would get at least an extra gold in all but Kyoto
India would sell construction for map making, HBR (it seems like they're researching HBR), and more than 31g or for poly and map making
Maya looks like they could be our first target (if those cities would stay above size 1)

Pre-turn, 750bc
MM Satsuma to grow in 8 turns instead of 40. one more turn on the market place won't kill us, I don't think.
Disbanded Warrior near England.
Trade Currency to India for Construction. They, or Greece would have traded it straight up for this or CoL. I chose Currency because with it, they might be able to make some money to pay us for things in the future. I chose to make the deal with India instead of Greece because they are further away and so we might trade with them later in the game then with Greece.
Set science to 60%, Feud in 12 and breaking even. Chose not to bring Greece into the Middle Ages for their free tech since Persia still refuses to acknowledge our envoy, the fool... But if it pleases our citizens, so be it. If Greece were to get Fued, I couldn't trade Lit or Mon for it straight up, so not bringing him up and studying it seems the best plan to me. When Persian is talking to us again, probably 3-5 turns I will probably bring them both up and hope neither gets Feud, my luck they both will...

Persia talks, give them Math for peace. Bring them to the Middle ages and they get...Feud, I just knew it!
Bring Greece up, they get Mono. Can't trade one for one Lit or Mon for either.
With 5 turns left on Feud, I decide not to make any trades and get it myself, then will trade it to Greece if Persia hasn't already.

IB-

Turn 9 570bc
more worker moves
Turn 10
merge worker to Satsuma, zero growth when workers finish mine.
Kyoto can grow faster then Tokyo, so merge the one standing inside and one of the two on the Wines to Tokyo. I changed Kyoto to grow in 4. Should have let Kyoto grow earlier, but miscounted my workers. I believe we wanted 10 natives after the merging. Edo will get his 12th this turn, working the mtn should get us at zero groth there, once the mine is complete on the plains.
We can now trade Monarchy for Feud, but with two turns left is it really worth it, I guess it lets us begin Chiv 2 turns sooner. I probably should have traded both techs to get them all, been rethinking that. Why did Persia have to get Feud?!
Greeks will definately give up Mono for Feud whenever we get it.

Quit WoW, back to Civ.
ive got it and will play tonight.
We should stop long enough for discussion between most turnsets. Nothing major here, but discussing the trade possibilities would have helped.
Here's what I have in mind:
After we get Feudalism, trade for Monotheism and go for Chivalry.
In 5 turns, we will no longer be getting incense from the Celts. Do not trade for it again. Instead, gift them Monarchy (to throw them into anarchy and prevent pop-rushing), declare war, then take Lugdunum by force. Be sure to protect our reputation: Declare war before crossing the border.
We do not need to attack any town other than Lugdunum, so we should sue for peace as soon as possible after taking it.

Celts finished the Pyramids? Damn, I was hoping Persia would, so that the Celts could build ToA instead.
We can buy gems from Maya for 10 gpt, then we should be able to drop lux to 10%, freeing up 23 commerce. Our markets and libraries would turn that into 34 gold/beakers, netting our economy 24 commerce.
At 120 gold each, we aren't going to be able to upgrade most of our horses. Celtic towns look ripe, why not take a few of those with our horses? Just remember: declare war before crossing the border.
As for the wonder, KT would be best.

Hrm... the Celts still exist. They have a settler somewhere, because they only had the two cities at the start of the turn. Anyway, they'll give us 6 gpt for peace.
A lot of units have not yet moved this turn, most are in Agedincum and Camulodunum. They could begin to march on Greece, although our catapults won't be able to follow due to the marsh. We have 10 turns remaining on luxury trade with Maya, so we must not go to war with them.
Mining complete this turn near Tokyo, so the Samurai will also complete this turn. Tokyo can continue with Samurai every three turns, but need MM to 24 shields at -1 fpt every third turn.
I used Samurai as MP so the horses could go to war (delaying Golden Age), and built pikes so the Samurai would be able to go when needed. Change of guard next turn.
Edit: Knight's Templar done in 4 turns will trigger our golden age.

Emperor
WooHoo! tripled our empire and the Pyramids too. 
I've got it, will play tonight.
The plan is to consolidate on what we have and prepare a samurai force for the next player to attack the Maya and start our golden age. Hopefully Lagerto will have grown to 2 by then, they built it in a good spot for us. Do we want a pre-build for another wonder when KT finishes? Oops I see KT will give us our GA. Is that because we have the Pyramids? I still think Maya are the best option though.

Why wait? We can march our horses on Greece while we build up the Samurai to take out the Mayans. It would be nice if one of our Elite Horses got a MGL, so we could have an army sooner. Would we want to put in Samurai, or the horses? I say Samurai, not all our Sam's are going to become elite and create leaders, so just take three and make an army if we get a MGL with our horses. Just my 2cents
