Make it so ...
Alright Metal Catsing it is then ... and ladies and gentleman, despite what the screenshot of Pholky tells you, it is going to take us a whopping 32 turns to get it 
Meanwhile, I started building cats, axes, and swords. Genghis must die.
But before I get to that, guys, this is emperor we are playing. There is little room for sloppiness.
Look at Athens:
Let it grow! That's what the pigs are for!
Worst, Sparta:
The sheep is in any way F, P, or C either equivalent or superior to the floodplains.
And speaking of which, why is there two workers trying to create a farm in 2 different tiles of Sparta??? Concentrate on improving one tile first! When we grow, we can only work on one more tile, no point building 2 farms in 2 spearate tiles! Anyway, both farms are useless. The next pop growth should work on the gold mines to improve our GNP.
OK, enough of grumpiness ....
Nappy come asking for Construction 3 turns after I played ... heh, go away, little corporal. Make sure you survive your little war first before you go around issuing empty threats.
More people came asking to trade constructions, I rejected all, thinkng I'll leave it to the next player to decide. I think we can trade it away once we are ready to kill Genghis Khan. y then, even if someone traded constuction to Genghis Khan, it will be too late.
Here is the trade available:
Notice Bismarck need alhpa instead of construction, meaning Bismarck already had construction. THat should be taken into consideration. I would suggest next player to start trading within his turnset since monopoly is broken.
The relations screen: Note that JC has not met Genghis and Monty has not met Toku.
The not-so-nice demographics standings:
>>>> The Save (500 AD) <<<<
And my obligatory cut'n'paste from the OoP thread:
I will be on an auto-skip period from 9 July (my time, 24 hrs from now) to 22 July. During afore-stated period, I should still have Internet access, so will post a Got-It if I have time to play. However, whenever the next player can play, just grab it ... don't need to wait 24 hrs before skipping me.

@ GreyFox ~ i agree on the 
for the pigs and sheep. I take responsibility for that b/c i know i hooked up those sheep again.
on the other hand, i can't agree on the 2 farms. Sure we won't need them right now, but a)i thought we'd have 2 farms already there to be able to work both those gold hills for the badly-needed commerce, and b)if i make 2 farms there now, we can 'set it and forget it' and move those workers on to other cities and improvements rather than making one farm now, going elsewhere, then coming back to make another when they city is ready to grow again.
just my 2 cents before i travel

Inherited Turn (500 AD)
Trade Napoleon: Construction for Monarchy (I didn't really mean to - I was just checking what the AI's would offer us for it, and I didn't think he would accept!)
I checked for other deals, but Qin and Genghis will only offer gold. The only other tech we can get is Monotheism. 
I decide NOT to trade with Genghis because he has Elephants, and I want to minimize the number of those we have to go up against when we go to war.
Revolt to Hereditary Rule
Turn 1 (515 AD)
Napoleon once again asks us to go to war with Japan:
Again, I refuse. (You could at least smile when you as for a favor.)
Machiavelli informs us:
Tell us something that we don't already know!
Turn 2 (530 AD)
Sparta completes: Phalanx --> Swordsman (8)
Monty demands Monarchy. Dream on bird-brain.
Turn 5 (575 AD)
Athens completes: Catapult --> Axeman (5)
Harapan completes: Barracks --> Phalanx (18)
Turn 6 (590 AD)
Thermopylae completes: Swordsman --> Swordsman (18)
Switch Athens to produce a Swordsman
Turn 8 (620 AD)
Mao completes the Great Library
Turn 9 (635 AD)
Genghis has Construction now, so trade Julius: Construction for Monotheism + 40 GP.
Turn 10 (650 AD)
Sparta finishes: Swordsman --> Catapult (7)
Sparta grows and exceeds the healthiness limit.
Athens and Thermopylae will finish their Swordsman in 2 turns. As soon as they are in place outside of Ning-hsai, we should declare on Genghis.
He has construction now, so we must pillage his Elephats outside of Karakoram ASAP. Ning-hsia should fall almost immediately. Karakoram will probably require a few suicide Cats to take it.
Here's a look at the situations at Karakoram and Ning-hsia:
There is an Archer E of Dortmund which we should send E to scout Germany and beyond.

I had played 5 or 6 turns when my mouse stopped working and I had to reboot my computer. I have to buy a new mouse and I will finish playing this evening.
By way of update, the war has begun and Ning-hsia has been razed -- it was in a terrible location. We're marching on Timbuktu from two directions.

I'll be able to play tomorrow morning if that's soon enough.
If you can post a report by then, do so, and I will just play after you.
