Recaptured Cuman.
I put the bum prophet to work making hammers in Antium. Cuts two turns off of its bank.
Revolt to mercantilism and add scientists to the cities that can "afford" them.
Founded Cantebury. Started SoD moving towards one of Biz's last cities. Moved our captured workers back so they could do some badly needed work. A settler is moving towards Delphi. Placement is up to the next player.
A gren should make it possible to take the barb city Zapotec.
Did a lot of newbie infra builds as our econ just sucks. I pillaged a few towns/villages just to keep our research up. We are now @ 30% and falling. I am wondering if our units out of our borders costs more than the maintenance of cities founded just to bust fog. The aztec city i captured was the holy city of Islam. FP is nearly finished in Delphi and this should help a good bit.
We have galleys about to enter the "lake".
Barbs are everywhere.
Lets finish off the Bizstacker!

Sounds good. Builder turns are probably necessary, though I wouldn't worry about the science. 30% of our economy still vastly outpaces 100% of anybody else's.

For me that is one of the biggest surprises of the game: We were and are outperforming the AI on tech research. I feared the 8 civ tech trust but we got a sizeable tech lead from the very beginning on. Maybe the AI has researched towards the same goals so that trading was not that beneficial for them. Still I'm very surprised and pleased of our effort the whole game through.

good turns, Talamane. I will grab this tonight and play. At this point, seeing as how the action is slowing down more and more, I'm going to play 15 turns and i think we all should. I don't want the endgame of this to become a tedious hand-off fest that takes 2 weeks wehen we only have 50 turns left to play, eh? That is, if there are no objections, but this way, we can claim victory and focus on the SGOTM

@pholky:
15 turns are quite fine. With our enemys being downcast now this equals 3 turns around 1000 AD when the smashing began...

Turn 0/1770:
This is the land we have left to conquer!
1772
Move units east. Find tenoch!
1774
Some cities are done their builds, a bank, a settler..some other stuff. I convert to all military at this point. W/the remaining few bit of land, we should just push at them hard and end this! I spy a German archer-pair w/settler ~ I take them out w/the knights in the northern stack. Also, a grennie in Berlin takes out a warrior. No pic needed. Fortify a grennie in the old Asian Southeast
1776
Lose a worker to a german HA as hes trying to abscond to Berlin! Also, we lose a severely wounded, healing grennie to a barb sword!! Aslo, a xbow loses to a barb longbow.
Our stack takes back the worker and lands next to Hamburg. Gen Zest takes care of the offending HA. Also, our knights have penetrated Japanese lands.
A cat and a mace take care of the barb sword and longbow respectively.
We land next to Tenoch!
I also sacrifice a german slave for some intelligence. I like this tactic.
Found Coventry on the western shore of the bay, on the old border of greece and germany.
1778
Lose 2 workers to the germans. [Ill getem back!] A barb archer takes our cat. Islam spread to Coventry. Gen Zest is at Lvl7.
Tenoch is on an island!! How awesome is that!
Our cats reduce Hamburg to 6%. All go! A grenadier and an elepant and the city is gone.
Whip a forge in Berlin. Our grenadier is killed at Zapotec by the longbow. The 2 knights clean up and Zapotec is gone.
1780
(If you check, this pic is named "ForPaul" not ForPal is i intended. who's paul?? I don't know. My first thoughts were paul mcartney. So this pic is dedicated to mr mccartney, in honor of his marriage to the one-legged model. [hey, it's 1:30 am]
Were up to 40% Sci. Educ comes in and I selected Rifling so were 3 techs away. Whip forge in Ghangzhou. I also change a lot of builds from forges to libraries so we can get our border pops. We can swap back to Forges when the pop gets big enough or whip the libraries whatever. I move the army back to just outside Berlin. When I realized that the Southern Army had no cats, I have foregone Tenoch, but am going to send settlers down that way to discourage our friend Monty from settling there for the now.
Aprapro(like my french
) of that: Warwick is founded where Germany's northern city once stood.
And, Monty had a settler and longbow on a galley. I didnt want it settling so I sacd a galley and used a 2nd to wipe it out.
...bottom ten to come...

1782:
Took out a barb archer near Ghuangzhou. Upgrade a mace to a grenadier at
Warwick because it faces 3 barb threats. Most of our S army is moving north on 2 galleys. A mace and an xbow remain on Tenoch-island to have some fun.
1784: Discover Kyoto.
Also, Edo is founded on the ruins of Hamburg. Target number one once the Generals Ron-de-vu Then eliminate the German menace. SoD up north onto japan and then all new units should go to the old Chinese subcontinent for an assault on Tenoch.
1786:
I momentarily lose Berlin
I recapture it rightaway w/a gren and recall some nearby fogbusters. Also, our knights take out a city I longbow @ Edo. It will be ruins by next turn.
"We dont need to wait for that glory-stealing General Beast," bellowed Gen. Zest!!
Down south, Ive got the harbor blockaded at Tenoch!
1788:
I have, like, this thing where, like, I lose workers and stuff. I heal outside Edo; the attack stalls.
1790:
New Castle is founded in olde China ~ there's also a barb city down there, 2 grenadiers trying to take it, w/one longbow still left. Also, with the gren's is a settler for another city down there to stop monty.
Gen Zest receives word that Gen Beast has landed. He pushes his tired men. Ahh, but scouts report that the enemy has brought up another division of longbowmen.
Gen Zest is now forced to wait until Gen Beast arrives to take Edo; his ego is not worth his mens lives.
Doh! I hit enter!
1792: Lose another one ! in the interturn. I believe that the enemies of English freedom have only 6 cities remaining. And theres a Japanese caravel off the west coast. I have not moved.
As I said (i've been using this phrase alot lately), there's not too much more to go. We should just push military and end this. Maybe even put every city on production for a turn and then whip some units out right quick. We will have a stack of about a dozen or so (perhaps a baker's
dozen even ~ oh, wait, this isn't RB18 ) that being said, if victory is within a few turns after this next 15, feel free to end it. Before you win, please save it before the last city is conquered....i'd like to add this to my HoF here

First of all, I've played only ten turns - I did run out of time due to some unexpected happenings this afternoon. I had quite calm builder turns, there was some struggling with barbs, but nothing severe...
It was the warm summer of 1793. A breeze from the sea was in the air as the Queen ordered that the English Civilization should spread its wisdom and glory to wider lands. Therefore it came to be that some people decided to move from London to the cosy, sheltered coast near the ruins of Beijing to lieve there forever. When they came to the place they already had left some battle with barbarian nomads behind, and they found that the spot they wanted to settle in was already under watch by the cruel barbarian archery companies. The Queen had given them company of a Grenadier - to serve and to protect the sturdy folk of England on their way to new shores. After the battles the Grenadier was exhausted to the brink of death.
Seeing this, the people of London took refuge in the nearest english dwellings, hoping their Grenadier would survive. He did not, but did with the look in his face that all people have when they meet their end for a good thing. No help could be brought by anyone, not even by Gen Zest and his men - he was severely wounded after the taking and razing of a Japanese outpost.
However, the attraction of the place was so immense that the former London citizens couldn't resist to take their residence there. Thus they founded Oxford, city of marbled beauty.
Meanwhile Berlin, one of the cities liberated from German influence and decay, was in high alert. The ghastly mercenaries of Montezuma had allied with cruel barbarian soldiers to change the city into a place of decay and desolation.
But support came in time, and so only rumour came to the East of the dreadful wrath of England at Berlin. One of the chief foes of our beloved Queen still sits in his fortress at Kyoto and abides his time for an attack in strength. The city is garrisoned well - japanese spies seem to have stolen the secrets of gunpowder from the laboratories of the glorious english scientists.

This seems not to be the only theft that happened - the barbarians now come with maces...
The people of Ghangzhou have worked hard lately and mined the hills in the area. They now can bring Iron and Gold to the light of Earth.
Scouts of our Queen have reported that they have seen the last city of the vile Bizstacker. It is not over strongly guarded. Ehen this news reached our Capital the Queen immediately ordered the troops to advance in order to liberate the soil of Mother Gaia from bizstacking scum.
Mother Gaia loves her English children - and there are plenty of them...
And so it is only a matter of time if the Earth will only be inhabited by the true and faithful citizens of our Queen Mother...
Exclusive coverage of www.londonherald.com (Lord Imhotep)
Summary:
I did some unit building, half a dozen Grenadiers are on the way to Frankfurt/Japan. Printing Press was in half of the way, Replaceable Parts due in 9, Rifling then in 18. I've set up the attack on Kyoto, defenses are down to 3%. The city should fall, but beware of the City Garrison II Musket in there.
