I'm half-way through my turn tonight. Too tired to continue, so I'll finish tomorrow.
We didn't get the HG, sadly (damn Egypt).
I was thinking about a Palace, too. In fact, that would have a great long-term value just about equal to Sun Tzu's.
There's plenty of shields saved up in Damascus from the HG anyway, so we could probably hand-build Sun Tzu's there.
If I get a leader, I'll save it for a Palace probably.

Many Elite victories, but still no leaders...
Pre-turn: Micromanage Damascus to get HG in 8 turns instead of 9. Change all Swords in production to Horses. The war will be over by the time those slow swords reach the front.

Desperately attack Sword near Adana with an Archer and a Horse, both of which die, and promote it to Elite. Crap, we're gonna lose that town.
I think we can build Sun Tzu's by hand. If the next player gets a leader, I highly recommend rushing a Palace somewhere.
There's an attack force of Horses heading for Delhi now which can probably take the city.

I haven't looked at the save yet, but these seem like good turns, Hooray. Good call on Sun Tzu's, too bad about the HG.
Sometimes you can hold back on the embassies and only use it if you want to collect specific info (mostly progress on Wonders, or just a check on the basic productiveness) or when you need to boost the attitude.

Well, we do need the boost in attitude. Everyone hates us. It may just be because we're the only civ still in Despotism, though.
Plus, I did want to check on the status of the HG. It really looked like we'd get it, too....

We do need to switch goverments (that's why they hate us) also because we need to build up cash.
Sorry if you did need info, on all civs, it just sounded like you were building them automatically the moment you can (like I used to do
).

@Hooray: The SAV file is 0Kb, I think you need to upload it again.

Looking at /uploads5 there are an awful lot of 0k files today so maybe attatching the save to a post as well might be a good idea

vbraun: You are UP.
Hooray if the zipped save is bigger than 100K you won't be able to attatch it to a post, in which case you can either wait, or e-mail the save directly to vbraun, and the rest of us if you can be bothered.
The uploads server is becoming a pain now. :rant:

I tried to upload it to my old website, but it seems to have crapped out on me.
I'm sure the uploads folder will be up and running soon. I'll re-upload it later.

Good set of turns Hooray. We have almost secured our entire continent and have taken a stranglehold on this game. With our superior tactics and awsome production (once we switch to Republic) we should have no problem winning this game. I still can't believe we haven't gotten a GL yet 
.
vbraun - good luck finishing off that pesky Gandhi. We must get a GL one of these turns.

2 more turns to go. Just a question does a city with 1 population but has expanded its culture twice will it auto-raze when captured (sorry if this is confusing) There are 2 citys left of the Indians that are on our continent. No Great Leaders yet...
Were we going to then Capture Greek's Island?
Anyway the war versus India is going excelent [dance]![[party]](/images/smilies/partytime.gif "Party [party]")
exept for the darn great leader...

@vbraun: If a city has cultural size of 2 or larger it is not autorazed even on pop 1. So go ahead and take it.. .
