Assembly line in in 1856, start constructing factories/coalplants/jails. Research will head towards artillery.
I realise we need to capture and hold a city in order to upgrade our troops. Athens seems as good a place to do this as any since it is on a hill, so I capture it then move most of our reinforcements there and mass upgrade all the rifles to infantry.
Alex counterattacks with a few trebs and a lot of cavalry. Not sure how he still has this many after the war's been going on a while. Hatshepsut sends some trebs, cavalry and chariots too, but our defences hold. Nothing from Peter yet. I promoted a few guerilla 3 units to attack enemy stacks sitting on the hill SE of Athens and there's a knight I've been using to kill trebs in the hope of getting it up to commando.
As a result of the fighting we got another general which I added to Cuzco so that it will have 17 xp when we build pentagon. Once cuzco completed its factory and coal plant I revolted to free speech since it is able to build 1 turn infantry still.
Razed a couple more Greek coastal cities with late arriving troops. After defeating some Greek and Egyptian stacks I figured it should be safe to go on the offensive again and I sent out a stack to look for more Greek cities. I found Sparta, but there's a surprisingly large number of units in it still and a Russian stack nearby so I'm not too optimistic about their chances.
Most of our galleons are parked near Cuzco waiting for more troops to be trained since I built mainly infrastructure. Culture slider is on 10%, we needed those factories, jails, and so on.

War weariness now up to +6 in cities without jails.
Other than that, just continued what Uberfish was doing. Built alot of coal plants + jails. Athens will slowly starve down to size 1, but we are not losing any units which attempt to attack it. Ive also been able to keep that hill road intact since they cant pillage it in 1 turn. Industrialism due in 2 turns. I think we can start beating up the AI more significantly once we have a nice little tank + artillery stack down there 
. The artillery part of it is already set up.
