Took a look at the save and it's not the end of the world. We have one chariot ready and can whip another one instantly. Two chariots should be enough to take out one archer! As a matter of fact, I did.
Save attached.

@Meiz: decisive action indeed. Somewhat unilateral perhaps. Usual SG etiquette would suggest that you discuss before acting....
Minor notes: science city resources need improving before thinking about roads. Possibly need to build a few more units before the library so they can get out there and bust that fog.

At least there was no reloading and we save ourselves pages of discussing whether to start over or not...

Assuming Eng City does nothing but build Pyramids it'll take 29 turns without chopping. Whether that's fast enough will depend on the AI and their build orders are based on (weighted) RNG so it does come down to luck.
If we don't get pyramids then we can re-evaluate (like maybe Pacal will build them for us..).

If Diamondeye hasn't put in some kind of appearance before Thy Spellcraft turns up then its probably reasonable to skip him.

So Happy I Could Die
Pigswill, please do play. I'm sorry, I thought you had taken in LK and left me out 
I'll not really be available the next couple of days, though, something like Thy, and then exams
Meiz, thanks for bringing my attention to the game.

Played 14 or 15 turns up to 500bc.
Researched PH>lit>alphabet (7 turns left). Couple of AIs have got alphabet already, only tradeable tech we have atm is aesthetics which we don't want to trade away just yet.
With a bit of chopping pyramids due in 7 turns (should be 5 with two chops about to start).
Science City grew a bit, built a couple of units, now resuming library.
Cottage City built a couple of units, started settler for Parthenon City, should be whippable next turn.
Army consists of 2 archers, 2 warriors and 4 chariots. No wandering barbarians this set. That's coz they've got civilised:
Qin built the Oracle and founded confucianism.
Judaism remains top of the pops at the moment but we have no religion.

Looks like we can get the Pyramids after all! 
Guess we should get maths soon so we can build hanging gardens there as well.
After artist city I'd settle military city at the iron/wheat/sheep spot so we can start considering whether we want to expand by force. Gettting more units out will be a good idea anyway.

One small suggestion I'd like to make is switching research immediately to math instead of alpha. First, it will make the chopping of GL and Parthenon more effective and secondly, Engineering City could immediately start on aqueduct/HG after (surely... ) building the Pyramids. I think alpha is less of a priority now, and if we have some turns put into it we should easily be able to pick it up in trade for Aesthetics when the Parthenon is (nearly) finished.

Ok, got it for tomorrow..
I too would change to Math..
But more important: What's about the "civilised barbs"? I'm afraid Pacal will take the southern one.. So shall we try to kill them or even keep one of them?

Those barb cities can't really be called prime spots, so I would just let them hang there / raze them.

Ok, here we go...
IT:
As noone disagreed I changed tech to Math and did some minor MM..
475 BC:
Bismark came to ask for this trade:
As we won't lose this game the same way we did it the last time I honeslty declined.. Cottage Heaven whiped it's settler for two pops, and as there are 3 archers within the southern barb city, I don't think Pacal will get it that soon, so I decided that raising this one will get no prio. Maybe in the near future we'll get one or two CR2 swords from them..
450 BC:
An archer started in Cottage Heaven, and as the lib in science city got finished this turn I started a gran.. (Jepp indeed I did
too much and oversaw the GLib.. But as marble needs a few more turns to get connected and a gran is always something useful I hopefully won't get 
too much..)
425 BC
Here we go with our next city:
As I wanted it to grow a bit faster I decided to start a gran rather than the Parthenon..
375 BC:
I know everybody saw this several times, so nothing new.. But this time it quite good to see it once again:
I went on with another gran..
350 BC:
We may be the lagest once but nonetheless it seems we need to catch up at least a bit:
300 BC:
Religion started to spread to us:
For the moment I didn't convert, as there's no need for it right now, and I don't want to get the diplo malus with Pacal.
275 BC:
Gran in science city finished and right now I called the GLib to be next.. BTW: For all those who didn't know it already: Finishing a gran the same turn the city grows won't save half of the stored food..
Sorry guys for the bad MM..
250 BC:
Math came in, and as I think we want to start our first war I changed to const for now.. And to start with the Gardens as early as possible I started the aqueduct right after finishing the gran in Engeneer City.
Ahh and look at this one:
Seems as half of the known world wants to take care of our religious souls..
As we still lack any metal we need to discuss whether we want to settle another city or just resurch const and HBR to get a cat+phant war with Pacal started.. (To thank him once again for his role in our last game..)
