Here's all that there is to look at on their island.

I still don't think the Arabs have any Ansars. There is a horse in the middle of the former Celtic territory that we should grab if the Arabs are not our next target.
I just realized that I screwed over the trasport of our armies by adding another zerk to each one. Bah! I guess they're stuck until Galleons.
Let's capture the last two Celt cities and keep a presence on the Isle of Celtic Pain and Woe.
Next target?
Vote early and vote often...
Arabs (x)
Aztecs ( )
Egyptians ( )

Conquest victories can be such a logistical pain.
The Aztecs are fairly well contained but they, and probably everyone else, are going to start landing ships on the newly opened and former Celtic territory. Such is life.
The Arabs are also pretty well contained. We could easily push them back to the choke point in their territory above our northern territories.
The Egyptians are practicing urban sprawl. If we're going to take Cleo next then we have more locations and boarders to shore up.
My vote is for putting Abu on the block next and to consider bribing Monte to take a bite off the other end. An agreement w/ Cleo might not be bad either as she could cause us some trouble in our norther territories if she sides w/ Abu. Then agian, we might have enough in the way of knights (upgraded to Cav) to land zerks on Abu and run mounted units from our base cities up Cleo's southern boarders.
Another note: Some of the folks were getting a bit war weary. And a few were getting a bit out of sorts at how they've been treated as of late.

Yeah, we've been using the whip ALOT... may want ot limit it to just newly taken cities... it's just so easy... 10 uncorruptable food with a granary equals 20 uncorrupted shields... awesome trade IMHO.
I say take out the Arabs, and sign an MA with Aztecs.... don't include Egypt.

When a 1spt city's population is maxed out with growth sitting in the queue it's just so easy to snap off a citizen, or two or five, to bring in the production. And with all our luxuries the remaining populace just sits there with a silly grin on their face.
Some of our cities have such a huge excess of food that they were often in the above situation. Next time I'll keep track of the number of citizens I throw under the treads of progress.

Nice follow through, jb.
Having the full armies in Gaul is not a bad thing, as it will help when the final clean up comes along, and we are not that far from galleons, anyway.
Arabs get my vote as the hordes of AC can be a real PITA. A lot depends on what the logistics look like. Can we mass enough naval force on his coastline?
I know there is goodly force in the north with the two armies up there, and some elite zerk garrisons lying around

I'm not sure if Zerks alone will be enough for Arabia. He has a largeish Island with alot of cities inland, even if it's just 1 tile in-land. We're going to need to gather Knights as well as Zerks to keep our pace going... I'm guessing 10 knights to take care of land locked cities and our current zerk armies should be perfect.
I'll vote for Egypt.

I think we should take a 10-20 turn break from war and crank out around a dozen or so Settlers to send to the ex-Celtic lands....

Get Zerks afloat.
Put Cav outside Arab territory.
Build settlers/muskets and transport to open territories.
Reinforce existing colonies
Sounds like a good plan.

Way to 
JB!
IIRC we're not even close to the Domination limit. We should try and settle the Celtic lands. The AI, like nature, abhors a vacumn and will settle open land. You can plan on having to reconquer the Celtic lands again.

Consider this a got it, will play tonight.
Inherited Turn - 1300 AD
Set preferences. I note the Arabian army on the Theveste/Cadiz border. Aztecs land settler pair on the Celtic island.We are in dire need of settlers. Corruption is awful.Celtic troops outside of Washingon attack, resulting in their deaths.
Turn 1 - 1305 AD
Alesia falls to us. Three workers enslaved inside. The trip from our border to the now unsettled mainland of the Celts takes four turns two-way. I note with some amusment that the Egyptians fortifying near Hiercanopolis have marooned some of our troops. They'll need caravels to get home.
Turn 2- 1310 AD
Aztecs establish Coatepec. He then asks for us to leave.In a stunning upset, the lone pikeman in Monguntiacum single-handedly defeats nine units of Beserks. Just kidding. He did kill one, though. Monguntiacum is autorazed. Celts exit stage left.
Turn 3- 1315 AD
Egyptians establish another city, Bubatis, defended by a knight (defense 3).
Turn 4- 1320 AD
We find Thunderfall on the formerly Celtic shore. He is rummaging through the ruins, looking for souviners to sell on Ebay.
Turn 5- 1325 AD
Egyptians make another landing near Bubatis.
Turn 6- 1330
Aztecs make two landings, Egyptians found This. Palace expands.
Turn 7-1335
Magellan makes a voyage of sorts. He completes this in Reykjavik.
Turn 9 1340 AD
Aztecs found Chiauhtia.
Turn 10- 1345 AD
Aztecs found Chapultepec. The taking of that fortress was the final battle in the American-Mexican war in the 1840s. They also make another landing.
Sir Bugsy
I went ahead and made sure I didn't have any stray units on go-tos for you.
Oh, and guys? Remember what I said about attacking Egypt? Remember that when you read the next player's turnlog.

Did we build any settler units SC? I didn't see any build orders at all, and not one town that we founded... saw a lot the AI founded.
The "We find Thunderfall" was sort of a pun. There's a town called "Thunderfall" in the Viking city list. And yes, I think we have about six settlers at the moment, heading in the general direction of the caravels.

I've got it. Thanks SC for the attention to detail. Although the pass down is a bit cryptic. I wonder what he means about Egypt.
