MDL 1
1100 BC (0): We are at war with abe! Turn on Governor in Heidelburg. Berlin has an entertainer but as meldor noted should be gone next turn.
1075 BC (1): A warrior attacks our city of Konigsberg and die on a spear giving us a promotion. Move shift A worker that completed the road to the iron to mine the grass near Berlin. We are shield poor at this point. Rest our attacking units and joinup another chariot and move the archer/warrior pair SE. Attack remaining warrior outside of Konigsberg and kill it easily. Abe will talk and will give up 2 cities or tech for peace. Think maybe to take it but I don't know where all his cities are so I will see if I can get more next turn.
1050 BC (2): Hamburg builds a warrior starts a sword. Warrior heading south. Begin Irrigation at Munich. Some unit movement.
1025 BC (3): Heidleburg build a spear starts a temple. Leipzig builds spear starts sword. Continue to explore to the east and see a choke point that may be interesting later. Kill an archer in the open with a chariot. A stack forms up to move on the southern city.
1000 BC (4): Berlin builds a settler starts a sword. Sending the settler west. Philosphy just came in for Spain and she sold it to Abe.
975 BC (5): Slowly moving the stack toward the city to the south. Abe will give up Chicago in a peace deal so I don't want to attack and raze it just yet. 2 warriors will approach the city on the West coast. Abe is offering up cities but I have no idea where they are.
950 BC (6): Stack is outside of Phily, 4 units, 2 archers, 1 chariot and 1 warrior.
925 BC (7): Worker is moved toward Konigsberg. Another is put on Shift N to get our roads going I hope. Attack with the stack and lose 1 archer, 1 warrior and only kill 1 regular spear promoting the other
.
900 BC (8): Leipzig builds a sword start another. Kill a spear protecting an american settler but it takes a warrior to redline it and the elite archer to kill it. We don't have enough units to take Phily dial up Abe and make peace, we get Chicago, SanFran and 20 of his 99 gold. Took cities over tech as a bigger benifit in the long run. Up research on Lit to 50% due in 11 turns at -2 gpt.
875 BC (9): Berlin builds sword starts settler. Kongisberg builds spear starts temple can be switched to a library once lit comes in. A bit close to Washington I think. Found Nuremburg on the old American city site not the greatest but wanted to fill it in before abe sends another settler. Nuremberg starts barracks.
850 BC (10): Units arrive in Chicago. A sword is now in or Northern boarder town of Munich. Opt to change berlin to a worker, we need a whole lot more. Up research to 60% Lit is due in 7 and still unkown by Spain or America.
Here is the save:

That was the idea, a little research at the point of our sword and we might as well enjoy the benefits of them building cities for us.

With lit due in shortly I decided to take the cities over the tech.
meldor
Deity
Taking the cities was a good choice. We can do the same for Spain if it turns out to be better at the time. Do we have enough cities to start a prebuild?
hotrod0823
Deity
Possibly. The hardest issue is getting the core cities improved I think we need more workers or slaves for that matter. I am not sure if any city in particular is better for a prebuild or not. What are we looking to get?
We have a couple of swords already and with a few more I think we can put a little hurten' on the Spanish and squeeze out a few more citie on our own and we are in buisness. There is more land past those mountains. We should also look a getting MM and some galleys out to get contacts ASAP that could make the difference in tech ala HOT4.
We do have enough cities for a FP site now.

I'll post my report tonight, things went fairly well. Next leader will decide what to get out of Spain though, I just softened them up for you. 
Maybe we can get a leader if we turn on the Americans with some of our elites.
[Edit] Cross posted with hotrod, I've been working on more workers and cities too.

preturn:
4 workers over by Frankfurt clearing forest. Well it's a great idea but I will take one worker from each stack and put them onto Network, we need roads more than the clearing corrupt jungle.
Berlin ->settler;Heidelberg ->spearman, Konigsberg ->worker, Nuremberg ->warrior, Chicago ->barracks
1. 825BC Move swords toward Munich to position for a strike on Spain.
2. 800BC Munich spear->worker moving swords!
3. 775BC Heidelberg spear->worker Leipzig sword->sword Watch the swords!
4. 750BC Berlin settler-> settler Lower science to 50% and lux to 10% Swords still gathering.
French build the Pyramids
5. 730BC Position 4 swords to take the war to Spain next turn.
Washington builds oracle.
6. 710BC Spain is 5 techs up on us. I declare war and march on Murcia. Move the swords onto the horses.
We lose our exploring warrior to Spanish warrior
7. 690BC We discover Literature ->mathematics but I'm turning research down to 0%. I'm going to beat techs out of the AI.
Heidelberg worker->Spearman I'm not attacking across the river so I move my mini SOD of swords to the jungle. Found city of Cologne ->worker
Lose Spear to Spanish archer. Murcia borders expand.
8. 670BC Frankfurt spear->worker. Hamburg sword->sword Leipzig sword->sword War at Murcia costs us a sword to take out 2 spears, but we do earn an elite.
9. 650BC Berlin settler->sword Take Spanish warrior and upgrade another sword to elite. My Spanish networking workers flee for the old home city, oh well, mmm I'm going to look at ways to save a few more of our workers turns.
10. 630BC Chicago barracks->spear Nuremberg warrior->worker We consolidate our forces at Murcia to defend against the Spanish. We should be starting to get ahead of Spain in this war now, they should be ready to give up some booty soon.
I changed some of the preferences, all new cities will now take on the capitol governor settings, that saves them defaulting to none. I turned off the cancel orders for enemy and friendly combat units, that should keep the workers in the field a little better. I named alot of the existing workers when I could and named newly created workers but we do have some workers that are not yet defined so you have to watch when they finish their current task and go green to move, that is you chance to name them and then automate them. I had a couple that were just not doing anything that I could figure out but once I grabbed them, named them and gave them a reasonable assignment, they went to work.

It sounds like you made a good start on getting some of those Spanish Techs. We are probably too late to get the GLib, so pinty stick research will be the way to get caught up. It would be nice to get contacts with the other civs soon. It would be realy nice if we were the ones who made contact.

Sorry guys only time for a short report.
No changes
ibt : we successfully defend against the Spanish attack on Murcia.
1-610 : We kill a horseman and an archer, the Spanish reatreat. Do loads of micro-managing
ibt : a warrior by Frankfurt impales itself on our vet chariot. Spanish move units in open positions
Americans start Great Wall.
2-590 : we kill all their units (horseman, spear, archer, warrior). Now Isa Green Eyes will talk...
She can spit only a worker and one tech. We're down Math, CoL, MM, Philo and HBR so we need more techs babe, sorry.
Actually if we add Literature which no-one has we can get 3 techs and no workers so we're close.
3-570 : Killing 2 more spanish units.
4-550 : Now we can get all techs (except Construction) for peace Literature and 85g+WM. We can still do more damage
so I abstain, we have to be careful because we don't want to lose that monopoly on Lit.
ibt : Bombay builds Colossus.
5-530 : SoD of Elite swordsmen approaching Barcelona. No spanish counter they're gassed.
ibt : Americans and Spanish start The Great Lighthouse.
6-510 : no counters, we are behind ennemy lines.
7-490 : Isa down to 45g + Literature for all techs (except Construction).
8- 470 : We take Barcelona with a stack of 6 (or was it 5) Elite swords and lose none !
Now we can get Math, CoL, MM, Philo, HBR + World Map + all her gold (15g) for peace and Literature.
Since I dont want Isa to benefit from a trade I sell Literature to Abe for 100g.
Switch Berlin and Leipzig to Temple for culture and being at size 6, Hamburg switches to Galley ready in 1.
Shift A workers are running across our lil' empire like headless chickens, what a sad sight.
In the south our cities are switched to Walls in anticipation of our next strike on Abe.
9-450 : Our proud galleys sails out to discover New Worlds.
ibt : the move to get one of our neighbors to produce the Great Library fails as the French build it !
then Indians cascade to Great Wall and build it, only Great Lighthouse is left on the cascade.
10-430 : Healing units.

A most excellant use of sharp objects to gain both territory and tech. Saddly, the Americans were unable to finish the Great Wall before the cascade ate it. Maybe this means that the need halp in administoring their cites? One would have thought they embraced the self-reliant concepts we use so well, but we should send some people to see. Would I get a bad rep if I am always starting wars with them?

Who? Meldor the Hammer! 
. I think our rep with spain was shot when we went to war with them. This is turning out be an Ocillating War Govn'r Game 
!
Once we get some cheap libraries online maybe we can do some of our own research.
