[0] 1882 AD:
Make peace with Pete and get 270g. Now to figure out a way to get our units back. Ah, found the galleons and they are on the way. Change civics back to nationhood (happy) and Theo/Buddhism. Sell liberalism to Mao for 640 g. No tech whoring for Asoka.
[1] 1884 AD:
I take some time to ponder the work done to build the long irrigation chains in our territory. I take the cows for silks deal with Peter. Science to 90, culture 10%. I will try to get some badly needed infra done.
[2] 1886 AD:
Oh my, we get -27 for razing one of Cyrus's cities. Good thing we arent going for diplomacy. I think the only way to win that back would be to give him a spaceship, ready to launch.
And i see we have been razing shrine cities. That makes them friendly. 
It would be nice to get the rice and wheat on the coast, but no cigar--this is not a conventional game (must... think... unconventional...) Orleans is sickly, so i start a coal plant, then grocer. NY completes arty and has no factory, so it starts one.
[3] 1888 AD:
Research starts on electricity--we need industrialism for tanks. Fascism appears to be monopoly.
[4] 1890 AD:
zzzz.
[5] 1892 AD:
I renegotiate the pig/wine for cow,banana,ivory deal with Asoka. It used to be more fair, we used to get fur. We are going to need hospitals. It would be great if we could somehow snag the TGD and lose the coal plants.
[6] 1894 AD:
Our Russian-whipped army loads onto the galleons. An egg-wielding crowd awaits them in Rheims.
[7] 1896 AD:
zzzz.
[8] 1898 AD:
zzzz.
[9] 1900 AD:
Most of our cities are unhealthy. The coal plants wont help, either. I adjust science to 80%, so we lose -19 gpt. I want to leave the next player some kind of war chest.
[10] 1902 AD: I leave Orleans started on the Pentagon. Can be vetoed, no hammers have been committed. No pix, because nothing exciting happened.

:suicide: 
Sorry
Played 9 turns to 1920.
Turn 321 (1902 AD)
No real changes in builds. I take our stack of Infantry and Artillery and declare war on Asoka moving next to his city.
Land troops on Peters island next to an Indian City.
Turn 322 (1904 AD)
We lose an Infantry while razing Dacca. We had better than 50% odds - the loss was unfortunate.
Bombard Bengal (on Peter's island)
Here is a picture of our home island warfront:
Turn 323 (1906 AD)
Asoka completes their 4th SS Casing.
Attack on Bengal:
I first throw some old units at the town losing a Grenadier, Mace, and Spear (none were highly promoted).
A cavalry wins. A rifle loses with 80% odds which was a bummer. It was a good unit.
We kill the SAM and Infantry and Raze Bengal
Kill an Infantry on Defense.
Here is the front on Peter's Island:
Turn 324 (1908 AD)
Culture raised ad WW starts up.
Turn 325 (1910 AD)
We are now next to Chittagong on our home continent.
Turn 326 (1912 AD)
Lose another battle against odds with another infantry vs SAM.
We kill 2 SAM and an Infantry and Raze Chittagong.
Turn 327 (1914 AD)
Turn 328 (1916 AD)
We kill an infantry and lose an Infantry.
We are next to Punjab on Peters continent.
Turn 329 (1918 AD)
We destroy an Indian destroyer.
Lose a Cannon but Raze Punjab.
I goofed and let our fish get pillaged.
The cocky Asoka declares war on China! This is excellent news.
Turn 330 (1920 AD)
Notes:
Spinoza, the most important rule is that we must raze every city due to the 6 city limit of the variant.
We are going for conquest if we can (we "lose" the variant if we don't get it). Even if that proves impossible, I would like to get a histographic victory. I think Histographic is the only victory we are likely to get if conquest fails.
Turn on the unit display in global view when you start. Destroyers are showing up and we may want to flee back into towns for while.
My plan was to clean off the easy continents of Asoka first. Then we have the choice of also cleaning Mao off the easy continents, or trying for India's home continent. I think we may have to go for the home continent even though this is much harder due to the fact that Asoka is building the Spaceship.
In any case we are going to need boats. I would work on destroyers first. One of our coastal towns is already building a boat (2 turns away). Once we have a decent fighting force, all our coastal towns should be on boat. Note that we have 5 Galleons that can be upgraded to transports.
Make sure you pillages towns as you go. We want to slow the AI down in tech. They are ahead and in danger of launching. If you don't raze, then they build a new city and start working the towns again. If we do raze, the new towns will add little toward their ability to research.
There is a Transport off our Eastern coast. It has a settler and some infantry.
We have some Draft unhappiness. Some cities were too big and starting to starve. We could also really use the infantry.
Here are the two fronts at the end of my turn:

Nice turns Greebley. I agree with your plan of going straight to the Indian mainland after his foreign cities are taken care of. We can't let him complete that space ship. It is definitely going to be a hard fight. After that we can get rid of Peter and China, whoever is doing better and then clean up any other cities.
Spinoza,
Are you still with us? Can you give us an update? Need a swap?

(0) The year was 1920 when Knupp, a loyal French politician, succeded the leadership after Greebley. Talking to his advisors he looked over his glorious empire, one that was pluaged with unhappiness due to the horrible effects of war. Knowing that there was only so much he could do, he pressed the enter button, hoping things would turn out all right.
(1) A year after Knupp had became leader things were going smoothly. Knupp was immediately informed when miners next to Tours had discovered a shiny metal stone. Rumors scurried around Tours that three miners had been stealing these expensive stones for years selling them and becoming rich but never telling a soul. Of course Knupp looked into this story and arrested the three miner theifs that had been stealing the government silver for years. All in all though, he was just happy that a new form of gold was getting delivered to the government piggy bank.
The military advisor ran into Knupp's office one day late in 1921 and told him some delightful news. A glorious French army was able to finally destroy the defenses of Jaipur, an Indian city, and they won triumphantly over the conceted Indians. Only one unit was lost during the battle, an artillery unit bravely suicided itself against the walls of Jaipur in order to save the lives of the French troops who would come after. Knupp made sure the artillery operator's lives were honored and he then opened a bottle of whiskey to celebrate the grand victory.
(2) The year was 1922, a year after the fall of Jaipur. Scientists all over France were joyed to hear that a new invention was discovered in the Academy of Paris. The invention was called Industrialism. Knupp was glad to know that imrovements were being made in his country's technical advancement. He realized that India and China had learned many secrets still a mystery to the French and that the French would need Industrialism in order for his goal of conquest to be in his grasp. Finally, the factories of Paris were able to build tanks. Knupp told his scientific advisor that research on a material called Plastic would commence in order for the French to continue on to better techs that would allow the construction of Modern Armors.
Later that year, the military advisor once again rushed into Knupp's office. Knupp immediately stood up, took out some wine, poured two glasses and offered one to the military advisor, exited to hear the news. The military advisory kindly declined the drunken fools offer and said something not expected. Apparently, the Indians were able to land an invasion force in China, large enough to capture the city Xian. They had razed the city to the ground. This was both good and bad. Bad because the Chinese, France's war ally was losing the war, but good because this meant the Indians were wasting units on China and not France.
(4) The year was 1924 and a grand year it was for the French people. While Knupp was resting in his vacation home in New York, the military advisor was cunningly conducting the war against the Indians. The Indian city of Indus was burnt down by strategically trained and promoted French soldiers. Unfortunately though, the Indians were lucky at one point during the battle, killing a French riflemen unit that had a 73% chance of surviving. However, the city of Lucknow was not so lucky. French armies also razed this city and no losses for the French empire occured. Knupp was informed about this a few days later at his mansion and celebrated this great victory by throwing a grand party with lots of rum and lots of women.
IBT: The day after the grand party the Chinese leader Moa, requested an audience with Knupp. Even though he wasn't feeling too well, Knupp was persuaded by his foreign advisor that he should go and talk to Moa so he got out of bed even though he didn't want to. Knupp thought Moa would want to trade a resource or something but he was wrong. All Moa said while in the diplomacy chamber was that he was sick of the French and declared war. Well, Knupp was so angry at his foreign advisor for convincing him to accept Moa's envoy that he threw him in prison to spend the rest of his life with three other convicts in a tightly packed cell. Three other convicts who coincidentally used to be miners.
(5) In 1925 another triumphant battle for the French happened. The city of Krasnoyarsk was razed. Only an artillery unit was lost against the odds (74%). Knupp didn't care about the loss though he had forgotten all his troubles with his 24th mud-slide drink.
All throughout France, anti-war protesters were...well...protesting. They were rioting, burning down government buildings, toilet-papering Knupp's presidential suite in Paris, and of course being a thorn in Knupp's side. The only way to resolve the rioting was to spend 40% of the government's treasury in order to produce luxury materials that were sold to the French people. So all around France citizens quickly forgot all about the unjust war because there happened to be a few new movies out in the theatres.
(10) Knupp was getting older and older. His doctors had been telling him to stop drinking for the last five years but he disregaurded them when they told him, and he forgot them with his next drink. Eventually though, his drinking got the best of him and he became severly sick. He was on the top list for a liver transplant, and eventually got one in late 1930, but his days of leadership were done and he would succeed the thrown to the next leader daring enough to lead the French to victory.

I should have been able to raze Circassian on the tenth turn but we lost a battle that was 88% in our favor , therefore the city will survive until next turn. You should be able to take it on your first turn though (whoever is up next).
The warfronts:
Things don't look to good. We have a pretty small army and our production is truly lacking. We might be able to do something if our 3 seperated (and small) task forces join into one. I suggest razing the last 2 cities on our home continent then gathering all avalaible troops from there, and the few from Pete's home continent and shipping them off to India's home continent and killing them before he builds the space ship.
good luck and the save:

We have a rum resource? My counselors didn't inform me of that. Those fiends!
Interesting that Mao declared on us. I wonder why when we were fighting a common enemy. It will be nice to clear out those Chinese cities though.
