Start with the tech situation....Abe is still down Engineering so there is no chance he will be able to get Invention before we get Education.
Finding India. Looking at the numbers of cities (8), I think China is on its own island. It has been settled by both Sumeria and Byzantine. I'll back the galley and hopefully find India due south before Education. The Great Lighthouse will help.
We have 4 armies and only 4 galleys in our home waters. I'll get a few more built (one in production now) before Navigation.
Wake a slave building a road where a settler should go three from Grand River and Tegea. Pull Armies out of town. I will send the leader south to rush the Pentagon. We can build Knights Templar in three with a slight famine. I'd rather have this than face the Crusaders on the other continent.
Change Knossos to a Hoplite. At 6spt, an MP will get the other citizen working and growing.
Everything else looks good.

preturn: Glad to see we did get Invention from GL. I raise sci to 70 to get Astronomy in 5 turns.
We now own the entire continent, and AI has no way to reach us.
I see some workers are mining really corrupt towns - not! Only irrigate corrupt towns and max out pop, then hire specialists.
Also some corrupt towns are working on forests - all switch to high food. There is no point in building courthouses as well.
Change things like finish granary before pop grows.
Move the 2-knight armies to the east as we'll send them to Sumeria from there.
(1)760AD: IBT America starts Sistine.
(2)770AD:
(3)780AD: Sumeria gets Education.
(4)790AD:
(5)800AD: Astronomy -> Navigation in 6 turns. I start building some explorers for pillaging purpose.
(6)810AD: rush harbor in Mauch for upgrade.
IBT Sumeria builds Sun Tzu.
(7-10): Nada.
Navigation is due next turn.
East: 3 caravals are next to Knossos ready to go. It has an army, a knight, 2 explorers and a knight. Another knight and an explorer can join next turn. These boats should land on Sumeria and pillage.
West: A few boats around Mauch. I've loaded the army and a couple units. Many knights are in Typendaga. Some galleys need upgrading. These should go to destroy Byzantines. Do not load anything into the army - it should then continue to land on American and pillage.
Tech wise then beeline to Military Tradition.
Continental invasion will begin soon.
There is some other AI we haven't met yet - better find them to lower the research cost.

What AI haven't we met? I thought India was the last one, and 6thGen mentioned meeting him. Otherwise, good turns, sounds like we are well on our way.

Mining and courthouses were to occupy the time until we become Communist eventhough this game shouldn't last that long.
Pre-turn - Cities are in good order, swap a couple of Hoplite builds to knights.
860AD - We learn Navigation -> Gunpowder in 4t at 70% and -13gpt.
3 ships on their way to Sumeria.
870AD - Sumeria starts Copernicus.
Unload some units in Sumeria.
880AD - Pillaging has begun in Sumeria.
890AD - 5 caravels are on their way to America.
900AD - We learn Gunpowder -> Chemistry in 6 turns at 60%. We have saltpeter.
910AD - LB leaves Sumerian Bad-Tibira, attack and take the city, killing 3 pikes without losses. The town is big and I hope it doesn't flip, it have harbor and barracks amongst stuff. Rename it Bad.
920AD - Land troops in America.
930AD - Take Miami with harbor and raze Philadelphia. We have a foothold on both sides of the continent, can we hold on to it?
940AD - Killed a couple of american settler pairs.
950AD - The attack against Bad starts
We pillage a couple of tiles in America to cut off roads to our new town. Caravels are almost home to pick up trebs.
Started to build more trebs for Bad. Starve this town down and with walls it with be a decent place. We shouldn't do any greater excursions before we have some defense in bot footholds. Especially Bad will get everything thrown at it and it will be tough to defend without trebs.
I wonder if it was such a smart move after all?
Metallurgy due in 5 turns and after MT we can relax research for a while and upgrade stuff and hurry other.
In hindsight, maybe I should've built more defensive, but you know me...

Flip is the only thing I worry. Also the hoplites should be upgraded to muskets?
In the future, I'd like some settlers along with the boat and raze the AI cities.

I see no problem in Sumeria, we can just kill the incoming units with what we have in Bad. Got it.
Edit: yes, settling a town of our own would have been better on the Sumerian side.

Well, I could've spent most of my turnset, finding a settler to send over there. It was you that handed over the game to me, so you should've thought of that, right?
When I got the units over there and saw the harbor I thought it was worth a chance. We take on the initial assault and raze the 2 cities close by and the fliprisk will by much less.
Sumeria's culture is about 1/3 better than ours,. so it's about RNG here
We can turn down research for a bit so those Hoplites get upgraded, I just continued on the research-path at max possible. Cavs will do wonders.

Pillaging is a waste of time if there's a chance to do something like a stronghold.
But, you're right. I read back and: "These boats should land on Sumeria and pillage."
I got carried away. So let's hope it works, I've done this a couple of times before and it worked fine, even with another civ having ALOT more culture. But it is a gamble and we would hurt losing all those units in Bad.
If we get some defense over there soon, the AI will suicide their units against our walls, well "walls" when we have them.
