Architeuthidae puericomedentis
Well, I think I did pretty good it being my first succession game, I built two cities and lost one of them, started war w/ the russsians, expanded the royal palace, and quadrupled the treasury. This account is taken from Startacan, a loyal palace servant's, diaries.
1415- "After the death of the last King, the people looked to the newly accquired city of Minsk and Governer Plexus, he was a strong leader and kept the Russian majority from rioting, he was implored by the Greek people to take office and help this Empire to become prosperous once again. When King Plexus took office, the treasury was in deploable condition and our relations were as well. He would make this his main goal, to make this Civilization prosperous once again. His first official act as King of Greece would be to decrease science spending from 40% to 30%. As his first diplomatic act, he gave 10 gold to the babylonians for goodwill, this helped the relations between the two great civilizations. We recived word from the west the the Iriquois finished a project we were working on before we did, Sun Tzu's Art of War. Who the Iriqouis are, i am not sure. Weather they be friend or foe, we will find out in due time."
1420- "Assured that we needed more knowlege of other lands, he (the king) sent out a batalion of men aboard a ship to explore, even though this took several turns and only got us knowlede of a small uninhabitable island, the King said that it was worth it."
1425- "The king knew that the current way we were using our money was unacceptable so, he decreased science spending to 20%. The King visited the Babylonian capital in order to discuss a trade and he traded Chivalry to the Babylonians for Education, a World map, 50 gold, and 5 gold per turn. The loyal people in Sparta celebrated 'We Love King Plexus Day', much to the King's delight."
1430- "Following Sparta's expample, the great cities of Corinth and Troy celebrated 'We Love King Plexus Day'"
1435- "Much to the King's delight, our miners in the southern districts have found two very large sources of gold."
1440- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1445- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1450- "Another city is celebrating 'We Love King Plexus Day', the city of Thermopolis"
1455- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1460- "The king has ordered the devlopment of sevreal settler's groups and archer battalions to scout out new land for new Greek cities"
1465- "One of the king's many projects has been completed, 'The Forbidden Palace'. Why he would want a 'Forbidden Palace', I am not sure but, he is convinced that it is very important."
1470- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1475- "The city of Marathon, north of occupied Umtata district was founded for the purpose of expansion... The town of Plexu was founded as tribute to the king and to absorb important Russian spice colonies in the Moscow district. This did not make the Russians happy at all... Science spending was increaced to 30%."
1480- "We love king day was celebrated in Athens."
1485- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1490- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1495- (no entry relating to the king or the empire was entered during this period)
1500- "Turns out founding Plexu made the Russians angrier than we had first thought, the Russians declared war on us."
1505- "The king attacked Moscow, many men were lost."
1510- "The king has moved to Plexu to oversee the war. 'We Love King Plexus Day' was celebrated in Rhodes and Sparta. We added an east wing unto the palace... The evil Russians have captured my master and burned Plexu to the ground.
1515- "After being tortured and starved in the dungeons of Moscow, the King was beheaded. I wonder what or who this Cdub is i am hearing chanted through the streets of Athens."

King Cdub climbs the steps of the Palace of Athens and views his kingdom, what he sees is the most powerful civ in the land, with a thorn in its side....the Russians.
1515 AD- The Great Cdub notices his workers are doing strange things, building useless fortifications, they are quickly organized and told to be more usefull. Sparta's walls are sold, they were not needed. The King showed his power by changing everything being produced on the mainland, besides Athen's Sistine Chapel, to war units and barracks. Cdub and Shaka work out a deal, we get Engineering they get Montheism and 60 gold. Cdub realizes that the Zulu's could easily destroy a few of out cities in the south west and we offer them inscence in goodwill. We obtain astrnomy from Babylon for 350 gold (A steep price, but they too were furious with us).
1520 AD- 4 military units are produced on the mainland in one turn
! Delphi is ordered to construct a courthouse (4 production shields is not cutting it for a size 11 city 
) The Great Cdub is infromed that his glorious Greeks are the most powerful in the nation.
1525 AD- Shuruppak completed aqueduct, swordsman are ordered. Knossos buiulds walls, swordsman are ordered.
1530 AD- An attack on Moscow is successful! We kill a defending spearman. A worker is ordered in Eretria, there are still many improvements to our infrastructure that need to be completed.
1535 AD- Eretria completes its worker, a barracks is ordered.
1540 AD- A couple more attacks on Moscow proves that it is not falling without overwhelming force (ie 5-6 Vet swordsman)...
1545- Mycenae produces swordsman, barracks are ordered. King Cdub discusses with his military council some options, 4 swordsman are shipped to Smolensk to kill the pesky Russians who are destroying our improvements.
1550 AD- Sparta produced harbor, swordsman ordered. Shuruppak completed swordsman, barracks are ordered. Library completed in Izibia, courthouse ordered. Walls in Marathon are changed to Hoplite (there were no units present in this city )
1555 AD- Knight in Smolensk changed to barracks (this city can be used as a great military base against the Russians and Babs in the future!
1560 AD- Barracks are constructed in the great cities of Corinth, Smolensk (see above!), and Eretria. A swordsman is ordered in Cornith, Knight in Eretria, and a temple in Smolensk (need some culture there too)
1565 AD- Thermopylae produces a swordsman, barracks are ordered.
1570 AD- Colosseum completed in Ngome, barracks are ordered.
1575 AD- Sparta completes a swordsman, another is ordered. Mycenae completes Barracks, colosseum ordered. Marathon produces hoplite, temple ordered. Our Great Armies launch 4 regular swordsman at Moscow, we are defeated (We need 5 vet swordsman to take this town!) Babylon wants to exchange territory maps with the great king, we accept.
1580 AD- Ibabanagi creates a marketplace (its a size 2 city, wonders why it was ordered
) so it is sold and temple is ordered. Cathedral in Thessalonica changed to granary.
1585 AD- Barracks in Shuruppak completed, swordsman ordered. Granary in Thessalonica completed, barracks are ordered.
1590 AD- Corinth produces swordsman, more are ordered. 2 swordsman land in Kiev to kill off pesky Russian horseman.
1595 AD- The Great King offers 1/turn to Babylonian in goodwill, they are still furious with the mighty Greeks. 2 knights and 1 swordsman our produced. Barracks are ordered to be constructed along with swordsman.
1600 AD- Swordsman produced in Sparta/ more ordered. Knossos produces swordsman/ more ordered. Cathedral in Argos changed to Granary.
1605 AD- Thermopylae creates barracks, swordsman are ordered. Granary created in Argos, a worker is ordered. Library in Yakutsk is complete, ordered to build temple (wonder why temple wasn't ordered first )
1610 AD- Swordsman are completed in Shrurppak, more are ordered. Great Greek scientists report to have discovered Navigation, this lets us build Maggellan's great wonder! Sciencetists are instructed to study the secrets of "invention". King Cdub is found dead near the fields of Athens, it is an appearant overdose of Babylonian rag weed.
These 20 turns I mainly focused on completing barracks on the mainland and then just pumping out veteran units when they were completed. I also wonder why cathedrals and libraries where being ordered in cities with sizes with 2 or 3??? These cities should be building temples and granaries. To the next leader---- Be patient with Moscow, load up 3 galleys with 6 vet swordsmen then land them right next to it, may take 10 turns or so but it will garauntee a Greek victory ! Good Luck.....

Low level intermediary
The Sistine Chapel was completed in 1625. Heavy fighting around Kiev and our other Russian city. Losses on both sides. We've started pillaging the roads around Moscow. We've reinforced Russian front from Zulu continent. We need pikemen and knights!
1650: Purchased contact with Germany from the Babylonians for 90 gold. Traded Germany our world map for their territory map and contact with Japan. Traded monotheism and world to Japan for invention. Purchased contact with Iroquois from Japan for 40 gold. Traded astronomy, our world map and 130 gold to the Iroquois for gunpowder. Traded navigation to the Iroquois for music theory. Traded incense to Iroquois for 11 gold per turn. /** I could have leached out more techs from the Iroquois if I had included incense with one of my other trades but that occurred to me right after my trade for music theory. **/
1655-1660: Moscow under siege.
1665: The Babylonians complete Copernicus observatory.
1670 to 1690: Moscow is under siege and shipping in troops.
1695: Our scholars have discovered banking and will now focus their attention on economics. /** After we get economics, we should look into trading it to the Iroquois and try to get some more techs from them. By that point we can afford to upgrade soldiers, buy more techs or do some hurrying with our current stash of cash. We may want to look into upping our research rate to shave a turn or two off economics, we may lose a bit of money in the process but it may be just enough to ensure we get it first. **/
1700: After nearly a century of siege the Russian capital of Moscow has fallen!
1705-1710: Troops march onto St. Petersburg destroying Russias infrastructure on the way.
1715: The Babylonians complete Magellans Voyage. /** We are still ahead of the Babylonians but their cultural improvements are really starting to bother me. **/
1720: St. Petersburg falls, leaving Russia with only 4 cities. /** They still have that settlement on NW Island and we will need a few soldiers to dislodge them. The war on Russia has cost us a lot of troops and we will need more to take over Russia. We should also look into invading Germany since they lack iron, horse and saltpeter. They should be a pushover, especially after we get military tradition. **/
1725: Destroying Russian infrastructure. Sending workers to newly occupied territory.
1730: Sell education to Japan for their world map, 4 gold per turn and 6 gold up front.
1735-1745: Starving the Russians out. /** We really need to pump out some offensive military, I started to let it slide some and it is starting to lag our efforts in Russia. **/
1655-1660: Moscow under siege.

The Great King Cdub has once again risen to power...
1750 AD- The Great King decides to strike a deal with Catherine. We demand the cities of Sverdlovsk, Sevastopol, 3 gold, and her world map for our "promise" to not completely wipe her off the face of the planet. We both sign on the dotted line and the Great King grins...
1752-1758 AD- The King upgrades all galleys to caravels. Granaries and marketplaces are ordered across the land. The work force is being moved to more useful locations (i.e. the western land with the Zulu's)
1768 AD- The mainland is once again Cdub's main military machine, Knights are on the production line, along with musketmen and longbows.
1770-1782 AD- The King puts on 50 lbs, grows a full beard, and takes piano lessons .
1782 AD- The King has order a batch of longbowman over Knights, they are quicker to produce and *cough* Russia *cough* doesn't have a defense against it.
1784 AD- Cdub has overheard some rumors, Germany has declared war on the Babylonians... The Babs need to be weakened up.
1790 AD- Da King purchases Printing Press off the Iroquois for 300 gold. Cdub then turns around and sells Music Theory to the Japanese for 40 gold, 8 gold/turn, and their world map.
There are my 21 turns, I went over one turn not paying attention, my apologies. I signed a peace treaty with Russia for two of there cities. One being that out of the way one in the north
. We also have a Right of Passage with them, the next ruler would be wise if they used and abused this!!! I sent plenty of help down there with more on the way. The next ruler will have to decide what to do with the caravels currently being loaded with knights just south of Mycenae---go down south to the Babs and Russians, or west to the Zulu land. Tough desicion. I also qued are research to Military Tradition. Good Luck to the next ruler
