JB, My turns were posted late on the 4th, past his got it but still within his time to play. Why don't you drop Detlef a quick PM, he was online this morning. Then check with rrau about switching, if you ask nicely she probably will 
. If Detlef hasn't responded by this evening and rrau agrees I say grab it and have fun.

Sounds good, I haven't looked at the save yet.
Don't worry about the horse in army. We just won't be able to transport that army until we get galleons. We should more armies before that time.

Turns looked great to me 
How much forceful expansion are we planning on after the Sumerians?

The more cities we have the more commerce and sci beakers we generate, even in largely corrupt cities by using scientist. So I think we will continue to war. I'd start putting a fleet of galleys together so we can claim some cities on the next landmass with knights. Eventually we will want control of all 8 luxes if we can manage that and we need to make sure we own enough land to have the required resources show up.

I could play @ around 1:00 p.m. EST and have it back by this evening if you guys want to speed this up.
Let me know as I will check before I pick it up

That's up to JB, but I don't have a problem with switching. Unless Detlef has actually grabbed it (although that seems unlikely).

I'll try to finish up on some of my COTM instead and just be patient for my turns here

RAMMING SPEED!
Hi all! I'm back, although unable to grab it quite yet. I'll just grab when I come around next. From reading through it all, you've all been doing a very nice job! 
A few points from my perspective:
- As you agreed, definitely keep the research going, as we're going for space.
- Keeping the army back for defense would've been my suggestion, so a 3rd unit isn't a problem. In any case, accidents happen.
- Defintely still REX, but coming to the end. Probably should take Sumer completely out soon.
- Very wise all around to keep avoiding Egypt. Glad the theme is being held up.

The RNG was selectively fickle "medieval" on our elite units.
I needed a good laugh, thanks. (at least I assum you are referring to a saying about getting medieval on your ___)
